Olivia Yokosuka Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) Hi, It’s question about upcoming animated mesh aka Animesh. From what I hear whatever you want to be attached to Animesh object will need to be linked to this object before a whole (Animesh part including) linkset thing is rezzed inworld. I wanted to create an Animesh animal/pet. I wanted it to have possibility to attach rigged or non-rigged accessories to it (just like you attach things to avatar - not Wear, I know Wear is function reserved only for avatars). Turns out it won’t be possible. Do I understand it well and if so, does anyone know about a workaround?

Yes, you understand it well Right now I think the best "workaround" is to be patient. Linden Lab is working on it and they're planning to introduce animesh to SL later this year.

Rhiannon Arkin Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 is there anything like animesh already available ? i thought it's an announcement for something in the future. curious ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolig Loon Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 The very near future, yes. Until then, you can do some limited animation with Puppeteer and similar routines that have been available for many years, or you can write complex LSL scripts that animate an object frame by frame, the way dinosaurs in Linden Lab's PaleoQuest apparently work, for example.

Rhiannon Arkin Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 i tend to make lots of meshes and animate the transparency. but i wish there was more tools available. I haven't seen those dinos. so what does puppeteer do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a look >>> http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Puppeteer Transparency animation isn't a bad solution either, except that it means that you need to add up the L.I. for every single one of the mesh objects in your animation set. That's not a serious issue for something that is fairly simple, but you certainly don't want to animate, say, a scarecrow like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chellynne Bailey Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Honestly, I'm kinda hoping this will encourage mesh clothing makers to make things mod so you can link it to a animesh dummy you have set up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, I never did understand why creators don't make things mod. It doesn't deprive you of any business really, as long as trans is not set. and a BIG HUG for Omega!

There are plenty of beautiful things in SL, the problem is that they might have no materials. If the object was modifiable I could ad some shine for example to jewelry items. Then they would be even more beautiful. The designer lost absolutyle nothing for me adding the shine. On the contrary, the designer would have won as I very well might go and buy more things from that designer who sets their designs modifiable. No mod, umm.. I would not be very interested to buy more things. So, with no mod the designer actually loses business. Do you hear designers? Mofiable, thank you!

Aminlove Faulkes Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Hello, What exactly is Animesh ? Can someone point me to a place to read about it ? Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you go to the meetings yourself, the best place to read summaries and analyses is usually Nalates's blog. In this case, take a look at http://blog.nalates.net/2017/09/04/second-life-content-creation-2017-w35/#more-18358 for the latest word. Search her blog for "Animesh" to read previous posts. I suggest also following Inara Pey's blog for her own summaries of the same meetings and for her insights into any new features being contemplated by Linden Lab. Her latest post on Animesh is at https://modemworld.me/2017/09/02/sl-project-updates-week-352-content-creation-ug/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aminlove Faulkes Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 (edited) Thank you. I follow Nalates via RSS but this was one long post with video and I ... skipped it Shame on me. Inara explains it well. Thanks again! Edited September 12, 2017 by Aminlove Faulkes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
