Yet another update on my ongoing project - a full mesh Second Life avatar.

There's not too much superficially different from my previous update, this one is pretty much texturing, specifically some shading and highlighting to replace the specular map I generated using dDo. SL appears to have not nailed down all that well / consistently - it doesn't handle subtle flesh-like specularity very well at all.

Another tweak that's more subtle is splitting off the hands and jaw from the rest of the model - I can swap out hands, and the jaw now animates properly like it does on other common SL avs. I've decided to leave the tail permanently off the rig, as viewers with mesh deformers make the tail look pretty messed up if it's rigged like the rest of the body.
