FINALLY
Kara Trapdoor and I tried for hours to rez details around the face, breasts and er... other areas.
Turns out you MUST to go to the "DEVELOP" menu in your viewer and then go to "RENDER/Full Res Textures". On the older 1.23 Viewers it's ADVANCED/DEBUG/TextureLoadFullRes. BEWARE some computers may not handle this level of rendering and will crash.
I spoke with the maker Horo Kral and he says he will add this information to the avatar instructions.
He also informed me that as the Lindens develop viewers that support mesh facial animation he will add this feature in upcoming versions. He also assures me sexier and more varied clothing will be available soon.

My opinion at this time is that it's cool to try and see, but personally for daily wear I'll wait a while until it's a little more advanced and there is a bit more variety. Bel likes to try new things and is cutting edge, as am I usually. I have to say I am thrilled with the feet!

I agree, beautiful details on the feet, hands and even face. My main concern however is - if we'll be bound to stick with non modfiable avatars made by other people we will end up with a game full of clones...To have one custom made would also be hard as it's hard to explain what you want in an avatar. But ty for a great post!
