Standard Sizing Package - quesstion ?

[monyana]

hello :)

 

i got that official standard sizing pack on the mp,

https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Standard-Sizing-Package-Updated-Male-Female/2894727?

 

(1) i wore the shape from the pack inworld, exported it as an .xml from firestorm, then loaded that shape in blender thru avastar.

 

(2) i then loaded the official standard size blender object from the same pack

 

comparing  (1) and (2)  of the same size,  they weren't even close O.o

First, there is no "official" standard sizing package.  There is a standard sizing package put together by a consortium of creators, it is not official in any particular way.

It is however commonly used as a reference, sorry to be pedantic but there is a difference, especially when some creators create full perm kits in "5 different sizes" which template texturisers then re-brand incorrectly as "Standard Sizing".

Anyway, here's the discussion that Gaia and I had about it which I suspect is the same issue:-

ty for your reply Sassy

Gaias site is down now so i only partly understood your linked discussion.

 

was the upshot for best  fit with this pack we should - wear the shape, export the .xml, load it to avastar and not use the 'reset to defaults' ?

and this route gives the truest visual representation in blender of what we see in firestorm?

 

..and yup sorry, i didnt mean linden labs official

Correct, though I still have my other work flow and I'm happy with it

You need to read this article to understand what is happening with sizes exported from SL and into Blender. You have to adjust them... Then your item going back into SL will be the right size.
