"Too many skinned joints"

[coelamelon]

So I tried to make clothes for a body and I transfered weights to it, inside blender everything moves the way it should move but when I upload it to SL it gives me a "Too many skinned joints" problem. Been trying to find a solution but no luck.

 

My console log shows this: LOD3 Skinning disabled due to too many joints: 161, maximum: 110
LOD3 Model Top loaded
Generating lod 0 using meshoptimizer

Just a guess until someone who knows more about these things comes along ..................

Have you tried  Limit Total Vertex Groups or Clean Vertex Group Weights  ?

link to Blender manual   https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/scene_layout/object/editing/cleanup.html

 and save your work before trying these

Hi, managed to find the issues, apparently when I rigged it put a lot unsued vertex groups in the object I had to delete them until I have 110. There is surely a better way to do this, thanks.

Rigged mesh is limited to 4 weights per vertex and 110 total different bones used. That means you can't have a weighting for every basic, Bento and Fitted Mesh bone in a single object because there are over 150 bones available when you put them all together.

Cleaning 0 weights, limiting vertex weights to 4 bones and normalizing weights are all things Blender can do for you (and the first and last are good practice in general). Having non-0 weighting on more than 110 bones is something you just have to watch for. I don't think there's an easy automated way in Blender to avoid it.
