Jacki Silverfall Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I uploaded my chair to SL this morning and #1 It came in HUGE! Cost 46 lindens then came in looking nothing like what I built. Not only did it not have the texture on it had the shape of as if it was still in edit mode. I can put the texture on it but the shape ummm what happened? I really can't explain but to show you. What am I doing wrong? What should I do different while building mesh. Thanks!here's a picture of the mesh in blender.Here it is in SL ugggg!

Drongle McMahon Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 My guess: are you using a subsurf modifier but not applying it before upload? In Blender 2.49 there is an apply modifiers option in the export dialog. I don't know about 2.5. You can explicitly apply it anyway. Also, make sure the levels are set the same for view and render. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
York Jessop Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I have no idea what could have caused that but for future reference, I would highly suggest uploading your mesh objects to the beta grid before you upload to the main grid, you will save yourself a ton of L$! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leviathan Flux Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I am guessing that you were viewing the chair with whatever software you were using with a higher level of detail that made your polygons appear to be more curved than they actually were. I think with proper texturing and shadow bakes, the chair would still look much closer to your original. I know in maya, which is what i use, if I press 1, 2, or 3, the object changes dramatically. I usually keep it on 1 for polygonal modeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacki Silverfall Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 I don't understand that appling before upload so I guess I'm not. I looked and didn't see anywhere to apply it to the collada file. If you tell me where to look I can find it on 2.5....I hope. Levels for view and render? What levels? ugggg help!

Jacki Silverfall Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 Thanks York! Great idea, I'll do that next time but I wanted to see if it worked where I live:) It was huge! The chair I mean it went through the roof! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxTux Wonder Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I think Drongle is right, try this: Apply the subsurf, and beware, your prim equivalence will rise! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacki Silverfall Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 I did that. So I don't think that was the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxTux Wonder Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Maybe you have multires on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Masukami Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Did you make sure you hit the "Apply Button" And then export it after that? Sometimes you can forget it. And you have to make sure you do it for every piece of object. If you did this and it doesn't work. Then try to send me a message online in SL and i can help better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacki Silverfall Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 yes I have multires on. Can you tell me about this? What is this multires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacki Silverfall Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 OH cr@p! Now I see the difference. I was wondering why my window would look different sometimes. Slaps head, one is surf and one is tires. Okay I'm learning!!!! Trying again. But how do I stop the chair from importing so large? that costs me. but this time I will go to the test grid.

Jacki Silverfall Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 Thanks everyone ! The problem was the subsurf setting. I had it on tires. /me laughs. hugs, Jacki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
