From time to time we receive reports from customers that their favourite chest or leg hair suddenly turned all black (or white) and it looks like a jet black shirt (or pants). If this happened after you have changed your video card or its drivers then most probably this is the cause of that glitch. Try to roll back the drivers to a previous version or check if the same glitch appears on another computer.
But if this glitch has happened without any change on your computer's hardware or software then you are lucky! Most probably your Second Life cache memory is corrupted so just clean your cache, wear only the affected clothing layers and rebake your textures.
Here is a detailed description of the workaround. It worked so far with all of our customers that they were affected with that glitch.
- Take off your clothes, your attachments and your skin that you are wearing (use your default "newbie" SL skin).
- Clear your cache (Edit -> Preferences -> Network -> Clear Cache), then logoff and log on to SL again.
- Wear only the clothing that has the problem (i.e. the body hair and/or the tattoo). You are usually fine after clearing the cache but if the problem persists, you need to rebake your avatar textures.
- To rebake your textures you need to activate the SL admin menu. Press Ctrl+Alt+D and then you will see one more option on your Menu after the "Help", the "Advanced".
- Go to Advanced -> Character -> Rebake Textures to rebake them (alternatively you can hit Ctrl+Alt+R). Again, you need to wear only the body hair and/or the tattoo that caused the problem.
