Avatar customization for bald people, please!

Haha that explains everything - BMI over 26 and you get the „muscle machine“ avatar. I want a slightly chubby Avatar…with bald head.

That makes sense. Hence we all look like variations of the same person! Sounds like Zwift could be onto something if they could go a bit snapchat like with their avatars.

Absolutely. In my opinion it would even make sense to allow customers a little overdone. I mean so that Avatar can be more like a cartoon character instead of „realistic“.

Or if they want to go the realistic way do it right…

Do any Zwift developers follow these channels for new features or are we just weirding out over Avatar shapes that will never get changed? :thinking:

Zwift developers rarely, if ever, implement anything that’s suggested in these forums.

Haha, yes this would be nice!

Avatar creation discriminates against bald people! I am bald but selecting the “bald hair type” looks like a buzz cut on a person with black hair, it doesn’t look bald at all! My bald head is the same color as my skin, so selecting a facial skin tone should be mirrored on the “bald” hair style! Bald is beautiful, the avatar be able to show it!

It would only be discrimination if you can show that the other hairstyles are significantly more accurate - mine certainly isn’t. Nor does the well-toned fit and muscled body of my avatar accurately reflect the true reality of my 90+ kilos. The only consistency is that none of us are being portrayed as we truely are.

There have been numerous feature requests related to hair styles and colors and body types. I support all of them. All users should be able to create an avatar that represents them, or represents their aspirations. These features seem to fall below Zwift’s level of interest, so my guess is nothing will come of it. (Search the forum for “hair color” and you will see what I’m talking about.)

I might go and see a plastic surgeon and hair restoration clinic with my zwift avatar as a template! Much nicer than my pasty, wobbly in some places, hair where you don’t want it physique!

I’m 59 and bald. No beard or mustache. Since I cannot put a color on the bald Avatar I actually look like if I was 30… just putting a choice of color on the hair drizzle would solve that. You already have something similar for the other hair styles… Bald guys unite :slight_smile:

If you put a helmet or cap on your avatar you won’t even notice the hair issue. :wink:

I love the fact this topic is still rumbling on. Cmon Zwift, it would be easy to have a shiny head option!

I don’t see any bald avatars in the Garage. We don’t all have hair!

I’ve read any number of comments/requests for a “bald head”. I have alopecia - it would be great to reflect (:rofl:) this with an appropriate avatar option. Cheers

If you add big ears then it could be called the Pantani avatar.

I almost have enough!

Baldies unite!
