RayRobert Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Hey everyone, I have been working on a mesh ring and I am having a small issue. When I rez the ring on the floor it looks normal, but when I attatch it, it looks like it's missing faces? This is for a static unrigged mesh. Now when I rig the mesh in blender, and then upload it and wear it, it looks normal. Is there something I am doing wrong? How can I upload the ring as a static mesh , and have it look the same when worn and rezzed in world? (pics below, not sure how to use the image feature on here so sorry for the multiple posts.)

Rhys Goode Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Sorry, I have no thoughts for just what your problem is, but I can say for sure that mesh does not have to be rigged to be worn. I make jewelery, and most of the things I make are unrigged. And they look about the same whether I rez them on the ground, or attach them to my avatar, or look at them in Blender, where I made them.

What could be happening is that when you rig it, the normals get corrected. So, just flip the normals and you should be able to upload it as just a mesh. You probably do not want to rig a ring, I really don't know, because the hand morphs might not work properly with the ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayRobert Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Yeah I definitely don't want to rig it. I assumed that was the issue too, doesnt make sense why it looks normal rezzed in world but not when worn. ILl try to flip the normals again and see how it looks though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayRobert Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Ok, I found the issue, instead of making a new thread hopefully someone can help me. The UV map is what's causing the issue. When the Mesh is rezzed in world it lines up just fine, but when I wear the unrigged mesh, the UV map doesn't line up with the mesh. What am I doing wrong?

Aquila Kytori Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Hi I have know idea what can cause the texture on a mesh to map differently when it is rezzed on the ground to when the same mesh is worn but if you are still having this problem and don't mind sharing your .blend file I suggest you upload the .blend file to: http://www.pasteall.org/blend/ and then post the URL here so that someone else can have a look at it and maybe come up with an explanation.

mtwtfss71 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Are you using png for the texture or jpg? There is an issue with textures that contain an alpha channel being too close to another texture that uses an alpha channel. I don't know what your skin is using so hard to tell. If I use an object that is textured with a png close to another (say a wall), they fight and one disappears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
