We have all been there and if you haven't yet you will soon. Nothing like logging into Inworldz and having your avatar dressed in the latest from the Swiss cheese factory. That is right, I am talking about when your textured self is all exposed to the wind like some sort of aged honeycomb. While for the first few minutes its all a big fun fest, that enjoyment quickly turns to annoyance once you realize your avatar is going to stay that way until you take action.
So what can you do? Well there are a few things you can try which will force a redraw of the textures and hopefully you will be spared the drudgery of logging off and then back on in hopes of avoiding the holey textures on your next trip.
The first thing I would try is to force a re-bake of the textures. You can either navigate though the menu system (the location varies with each viewer) or you can simply type Ctrl-Alt-r. Make sure you press all three keys at the same time. Give it about a minute or two before deciding this didn't work, because it can take a bit before you notice a change. If this still hasn't worked, then you can try jumping into Appearance Mode for a few seconds and then back out-but to be honest I haven't had a lot of success with this work-around.
So you have re-baked and you have jumped in and out of appearance six times and still your innards are your outtards. Well, then, the only thing left to do is to log out and come back in. This almost always clears the Swiss cheese effect, but it is a total pain in the clicking finger to do so. Such is the price for living in the Wide Wild West of InWorldz.
