Upload a hairy mesh from Blender to Second Life

[Bigby McDonnell]

I was watching a video on YouTube about doing a "Fuzzy Stuffed Bear" in Blender. It shows the technique to actually bring the bear realistic hair.

I was wondering if it's possible to for example upload this bear into Second Life?

 

Beforehand thank you!

Is it this bear?

 

That hair is done with particles, like eleventy bazillion particles. That approach isn't going to fly in SL.

Yep, that is the one.

Is there any way to actually upload something hairy into Second Life?

 

Thank you for the reply! (:

Cerise is right, bears are not naturally born flyers.   I think you may have more chance with a hairy bird :

I would imagine anything close to realistic hair/fur would be way too complex a model...even just the flat layers used for heads can be pretty complex. The only reasonable way to go is with texturing.

This isn't possible to do.  SL doesn't allow importing particles, so you would have to create that fur with particles, then somehow convert them to mesh (polygons), then texture them with fur textures.  The only other way, from what i know, is to make flexi-prims within SL using their build tool, but that would lag too much, and it's highly discouraged due to script/prim count in regions.
