Avatar help!

[LordBoop]

Hi! I'm very new to this so sorry if this is like...completely impossible to begin with.

Anyways, I got a 3D model from someone, and got their permission to use it as an avatar if possible.

 

But I have no idea how to get it working properly...I know to save it as a .dae, but I don't know what all I need to check and whatnot. Also, it doesn't seem to save with the texture? I can view thw model with texture on Blender, but if I try to save it as a .dae and upload it to SL, the texture is gone. Again I know nothing about 3D modeling or uploading an avatar ^^;

My other issue is that it turned out REALLY BIG when I first uplaoded it, and it was attached to my character rather than being the avatar? I'm guessing that I chose the wrong option on the scroll down bar when I said what type of object it was.

If anyone could help me out, I'd really appreciate it! Just let me know what to do, and if it is even possible in the first place.

The model is here btw

Thank you to anyone who can help!
