Have you found that occasionally prims don’t look right? Funny lines or parts not seeming the correct shape? Well here’s a trick to increase the detail of your scultped prims with a simple setting change.
Go to the Advanced menu at the top of your Second Life viewer. If it’s not showing make it visible with Ctrl+Alt+D (Windows) or Opt+Ctrl+D (Mac).
Near the bottom of this menu is an option called Debug Settings.
In the window type: RenderVolumeLODFactor
In the window that appears change the default 1.25 to 4. Close the window and that’s it. Your sculpted prims will look LOTS better!
Since the introduction of windlight and the limitless number of environmental settings available we’re all seeing our clothes, quite literally, in a different light. As a designer it’s an impossible task to make a perfect colour match in any given set of circumstances and factors, such as wearing a face light, all effect how the colour of the prim appears in relation to the rest of the outfit. However, all is not lost! All prim accessories including skirts in DollyRock outfits are modifiable so its possible to add a grey tint to the texture and get the perfect match for your environmental settings. Just right click and Edit the prim. Go to the texture tab, click on the colour box and choose a shade of grey. A little trial and error and you should be able to match it perfectly.
[EDIT] Alternatively, forget all that and read Meara Deschanel’s article about this issue which gives a much better explanation than mine 
Are you having problems with clothing layers? When you wear a jacket your legs go white or black? Or short pants and the rest or your legs fill with solid colour? This bug, which seems to be related to Nvidia graphics card is being discussed here: http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-7957
It would appear that there is a temporary fix. Make sure you have the Advanced menu at the top of the screen turned on, if not use (Ctrl-Alt-D). Then turn off the Palletized Textures (Ctrl-Alt-F7) then rebake (Ctrl-Alt-R) and this should fix the problem. You may have to do it more than once and it appears that its only a temporary solution and you have to do it every time you log on.
I hope that might help someone.
