Is there some mode on blender that basically lets me geometrically draw my shapes, and then drag them into 3d ?

thats insane form 30+ to 2 prims, how on earth did u do that and how long did it take you to do it? Is there some youtube tutorial that would explain how to do what you just did with bender? I find it really easy to draw up stuff with sketchup and then maybe i could learn to fix it up with blender like you did. I did however notice that the textures do not work anymore, probably because on sketchup i had it set which parts are different pieces for textures but whatever u did reset it. I do know it is somehow possible to do that thing too with somehow setting texture type or something on blender lol.

this is the model of it, it has a few changes from the original namely i deleted 2 of the walls http://pasteall.org/blend/index.php?id=48562 and this should be the physics http://pasteall.org/blend/index.php?id=48563

I actually have blender because the video where i learned to use sketchup said to export the file in sketchup and then import with blender and save with blander and use the blender file for sl. But blender looks way too complicated... Also not trying to make a house, what i want is that piece u see there, its an addon to a club building. So that thing i have there is really the finalized object

If i try to calculate as it is then i get an error msg like so. If i click analize first and then choose quality preview it will go through and look like this. When i bring it to SL and make it into a prim so the physics work, then it turns into a 36 land impact I already did try to make a physics file which looks like this But when i use it, then it looks like this as if everything is a giant box. Analzing does not make it any better

I am so new at this i dont even know what this means "For more help you need to give us more info such as a screenshot of the uploader window with the costs of each of the areas, a screenshot showing the ACTUAL number of vertices used in your model" but when u were talking about curved wall it did seem wierd on SL, when i put the physics in the curved walls have a LOOOOT of lines that i never seen before and i dont know how to remove them. Is there some other program that is easy to learn and i can make simple stuff like this except better with like 3-6 prims.

I am trying to make something really simple with Sketchup, i know it is far from an optimal tool but i want to make a simple thing, yet it ends up coming with like a 36 land impact! I have seen on sl marketplace people making full houses or other things for 1-5 prims yet i make something this simple for liek 36. I would upload the save file of what i made so you guys can look closer what i do wrong, but it wont let me upload a .dae file

I have no clue where to post this, but i have a small problem. Sometimes my videos stop on their own and i have to restart them, the dvd player has a jumping forward option but when i start the movie from the start my video like srtarts buffering from the beginning. Like i cant jump back to where i was watching before because it has to buffer it agian. But with exact same situation my gf can still jump forward to where we left off, it does not start buffering the whole move all over for her agai My moive on the other hand like has forgottan everything it had buffered. How do i fix this? How do i make it that my computer wont so to say forget what it had buffered.

I bought a TV today (This https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/VEA-LCD-Flat-TV-Ambilight-Backlight-Youtube-Television-Movies-Shoutcast-Radio-Videos/900171) I kinda got it working but i cant watch any movies or videos on it. I can see the TVs menu, flip through it, but if i try to open anything form youtube, any movie or anything, then i just get a black screen. Dosnt matter how long i wait nothing happens. My on the other hand my girlfriend can see movies and videos just fine from it. We both use phoenix viewer, so i dunno what to do to make it work for me.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________ I saw this in the answers section...Worth a go... I have an Asus N53S 6Gb / 1080 laptop with 540M and Phoenix failed to detect Nvidia GPU. My solution: download 540M graphics driver and utilities from nvidia website. http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook-win7-winvist​a-64bit-280.26-whql-driver.html Then change nvidia setting (control panel) from 'let program decide' to 'always use nvidia' or something like that. I changed nothing in the phoenix preferences. All works like charm now, no problems anymore. Here is the whole thread...might be some helpful info there. http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Technical/how-to-fix-nvidia-s-optimus-to-recognize-second-life/qa... ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ k thx that fixed it, changing the nivida settings from auto to nivida only. can run the game now on ultra with like 30-40 FPS in the most populated prim filled place. even maxed out my draw distance EDIT: ou sry, i had starcraft 2 open to when doing this, so i closed it now 40-50 fps x.x thats just wrong... it was on LOW before and 5-8 FPS... now ultra 40-50 x.x

i updated the video card and i think the fbs went up a LITTLE bit, but still VERY Slow any more ideas?

no idea about driver since i got the laptop yesterday, will see if there are updates >.> and that picture there i belive was all setting LOW, havent done any custom setting stuff

There a picture of it

yea... the FPS is like around 7 x.x

nothing happens when i press ctrl shift 1 and i would say it FEELS like low fps (cant say for sure though)

what kind of information? x.x

K nvm, i went to a place with a bit more stuff and started mass lagg again, even on low settings, i dunno what to do x.x but now i use a quite fast wireless!

I am using wireless now, and it acutally did get better but i cant go over mid setting x.x that seems sooo worng, when i can run any high end game, but bearly sl >.<

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________ I have the same graphics card and with some of the viewers I have to pull up the Nvidia control panel and toggle the threaded optimization (I think that is what it is listed as, sorry, not in front of my home lappy at the moment) to auto or off...making sure it is pointing to the viewer I am using. For some reason when it is set to On, it taxes the hell out of my CPU usage and slows me way down. May or may not help...just something to try. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ yea, sl cant bring my CPU even over 20% Actually, i tryed running Batman Arkham City, Starcraft 2, League of legends (in a custom game) and SL all togeter ALL the games exept SL ran smoothly with no problems what so ever, they could hardly bring my CPU over 50% while running simultaneously.

havet tryed firestorm because i dont really like it. And i can try wireless but i highly doubt it is internet, because it isnt lag like if i click somewhere it has a delay, it simply isnt smooth at all. More like spiky EDIT: it feels like basically try playing Crysis with a low end computer and thats the kind of a lag it is, and internet isnt needed to play it! Just saying what it feels like, i am no expert ofcourse, so jsut guessing , i can try with Wireless and even Cable later

Ever happent? no i got this laptop a few hours ago. And i reallly doubt it has anythign to do with internet. My internet stick plugin is 7,2Mb/sec which should be more then enough for sl and as i said even if i wait like 30 mins in an isolated area like i was at, it still moves slow

ummm yes and no. Its not cable, but i have a plugin internet. As in pluging internet stick >.> and it isnt internet lag, its screen lag, like even if i wait 30 mins for EVERYTHING to rezz, it is slow when i move around or look around. U know slow like for example if i played even a high end game on a weak system computer but the game runs really slow. It is same with SL it isnt internet lag!

Even on Mid settings it laggs A LOT And i wanst in some populated area, i was in a small house that is floating high high in th sky with nothing around it. plus 2 ppl next to me! i am running phoenix viewer here are the specs that SHOULD be for Second life recomanded and MINE under it CPU Recommended: Pentium 4/Athlon XP or better I have: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2630QM CPU PASS @ 2.00GHz CPU Speed Recpmmended: 1.5 GHz (XP) 2-GHz (Vista) 32bit-bit (x86) or better PASS I have: 2.0 GHz Performance Rated at: 5.00 GHz RAM Recommended: 1GB PASS I have: 8.0 GB OS Recommended: Windows XP or Vista I have: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium PASS Edition Service Pack 1 (Build7601), 64bit Video Card Recommended: With windows XP [NIVIDA GeForce 6600 + / ATI Radeon X800 + ]With Vista [NIVIDA GeForce 7600+ / ATI Radeon PASS 1600+] I have: GeForce GT 540M Features Recommended features of your Video Card Video Ram: Required 128, I have 4.0 GB 3D Required: Required Yes, I have YES Hardwere T&L: Required YES, I have YES Pixel Shader version: Required 2.0 I have 5.0 Vertex Shader Version: Required 2.0 I have 5.0

I have 2 questions First how do u run? i was told that u press Ctrl + R for always run but isnt there a butten to run for a little? Like in most games u hold Shift and your character runs untill u let go of it. Second i want to buy a new AO i like everything in the AO pack exept the flying, but i have my old flying that i really like is it possible for me to buy the new one somehow take out their flying and isntad add the animations of the flying i like?

I made sum stuff that has alot of prims, and selecting each piece takes very long. So is there a way to select ALOT of prims at once, like dragging a box around them or something? So i can like items faster!
