Avatar Island is the home of the CyberExtruder, a fully automated process that merges your RL face with your SL one.

The easiest way to explain the process is to reproduce the notecard you receive when you lay on the operating table:

“Thank you for choosing the CyberExtruder face creation service for you avatar. This simple and fast process will automatically prepare your new face texture within minutes. The steps involved are as follows:

· Pay the sign in front of you; $2700L for one face, $4000L for 2 and $5400 for 3

· After you complete the lab machine process, you will receive a personalized webpage link, click it

· Follow the guidelines on the web page to produce the best results

· The system will prompt you to locate a photo on your computer for uploading

· Within a minute or two your new face will sent to you by email

· To apply the face texture to your Avatar: upload the image file (File -> Upload Image) then apply it to your character using Face Tattoo under Edit Appearance

IMPORTANT: Make sure you have modify rights to the skin you will be wearing with your face BEFORE you begin. If the skin is not modifiable the face tattoo option won’t be available once you have uploaded your face.

NO REFUNDS”

I haven’t tried the service as yet, and it’s not cheap but if you want a face that at least resembles your RL one, it’s probably worth the gamble.

Thanks to 3pointD for the heads-up
