Can I Un-rig mesh?

[Artorius Constantine]

I have a standard rigged mesh Full Perm clothing item.

I want to use it on a mesh mannequin.

Can I unrig it somehow and put it on the NPC?

If you have the original DAE file then yes, just upload without skin weights.

If all you have is the mesh item as a template item which was already imported into SL then no.

If you have a mesh item... just rez it in-world like you would anything else. Drag it from inventory to the floor. You can link it to a mannequin just as you would any prim.

How it is going to fit the mannequin is unpredictable. If the mannequin NPC is a bot, then it will be using a shape and have a sleleton. So, the item will fit is like it w ould any avatar.

Well yes that will work if there requirement is to have the mannequin demo it in T pose (or maybe A pose) but it won't work for a more naturally posed avatar because a rigged item will not have the vertices influenced by an armature, unless it's worn on an avatar.

Great idea,

I'll contact the creator as well as trying it on my mesh model as is. I'm pretty sure they will go for it as my usage is going to be really fun.

I rezzed a rigged mesh clothing item once and it was miniature and mega LI. I thought un-rigging may lower the LI. I may have to spring for blender some day huh?

I have a bot that will wear layer clothing, I bet I can rig a skeleton in it, hmmmm. Gonna run with that idea for now.

Awesome thx!
