So if start with a cube and then add 4 Cylinders in Object mode you will have 5 separate mesh Objects. If you add those 4 Cylinders to your scene with a cube in Edit mode all 4 cylinders and the cube will be one mesh object. Which is what you want if you are creating a table. So start a new Blender file with the cube already in the 3D window. Then go into Edit mode to add the 4 Cylinders for the legs. (or better still add 1 Cylinder and create one of the four legs, then select all of that leg and use the keyboard shortcut Shft + D to drag a copy of it and move it to the position for the second leg). For scaling see my post above. Just to recap: if you are making one mesh object ( a table) once you have the first mesh primitive in your scene do all the rest of the meshing in Edit mode. what if i want to take what i have already and make it one mesh object ? http://i.imgur.com/nPZK0wu.png but how do i fix the alignments of the bars and foots so they not off center and improve the overall shape so its more rectable and less trapezoid
  2. there lamost done http://i.imgur.com/nPZK0wu.png but how do i make it more box like and center the foots and bars so they not look wrong
  3. any way to snap objects to each other? so its easier to align them ? i made my parts http://i.imgur.com/saQM5MT.png if i have to eyeball it its gonan look sloppy

  5. how do i just do this ? http://i.imgur.com/ojRZjHo.png but with this http://i.imgur.com/rOjopFu.png i cant seem to only stretch length of thickness blender just down both at same time like i useing these http://i.imgur.com/homwu2c.png instead of these http://i.imgur.com/4NCjrC3.png
  6. Aquila Kytori wrote: Thats perhaps because you haven't looked at any video tutorials? lol Reopen a new Blender session so that you only have the cube in the 3D window. You will be in Object mode. Then use the TAB key to change to Edit mode. It is in Edit mode that you do all your modifications to that cube. A key to toggle select All/nothing. With all the cube selected use the S key to Scale, R key to Rotate, G key to move. X for X axis, Y for Y axis and Z for Z axis In combination: to Scale your cube along the Z axis its : S Z drag mouse, then LMB to validate the transformation. In Blender its RMB to select and LMB to validate. LMB and RMB ??

Then as the poster above says, you will need to stretch out the shape untill you get what you want/it's supposed to be. If there is an example object check that out and see if yours matches. it matches but i cant get them to fit together the same
  8. Aquila Kytori wrote: Why are you using the Grease pencil ? lol Tab into Edit mode then use the A key to toggle Select All on and off until you have nothing is selected. Then use Ctrl + Tab to bring up the Mesh select mode menu and choose Face. Use the RMB to select a face. Pess E to extrude that face and drag the face outwards. Then validate the movement with the LMB. Repeat untill your Octopus has the correct number of legs Aquila Kytori wrote: Why are you using the Grease pencil ? lol Tab into Edit mode then use the A key to toggle Select All on and off until you have nothing is selected.

Repeat untill your Octopus has the correct number of legs I don't understand what I just read maybe if i started with something simple an recreated the 1st thing I ever made in SL but in blender ? how do i stretch stuff to be the appropriate thinkness and flatness and length ?? i tried useing scale but thats like useing the grey squares in SL inside of the red blue or green ones when stretching
  9. Aquila Kytori wrote: I to have very little artistic skills thats why I almost always start a project by collecting reference images. Lost of them. Sometimes even, these can be loaded directly as background images in Blender (plans for an aeroplane for example) and literally traced over with vertices. The vertice parts can then be assembled (as shown on the aeroplane plans) and and the spaces between filled in with connecting faces. and the result can be perfect. But to do that you need to learn the basics first, navigation around the 3D view, and how and when to use the handful of the most commonly used tools. In other words you start by making "crap" (which you don't sell lol ) and after piles of crap you will have the skills to create stuff other people will want to buy Don't be afraid of creating "crap" ! i was tryiung make a polygon and i couldnt even get the lines to connect i made a 3D scribble and none of the lines ever touched each other
  10. Croywn Denimore wrote: Hey, im going to guess that you got the mappings or perhaps what looks like an image. If thats the case when you create an object in second life, if you go to the object tab there is a drop down option that defaults usually to box, click on that and change to sculpted, you will then see a place to drop that image file. Usually sculpties come with examples so you can see what sizing they require to look like the shape you want. If they don't its going to be a case of stretching the item you make out on the different axies till you get the shape your after. Hope this helps i know about that but they dont look right like i had what was supposed to be a box shape look more like a bowl or super shallow garbage can bag
  11. Aquila Kytori wrote: There are alot of 3D model libraries to be found on the Internet from where you could download a ready made mesh and open it in Blender. BUT 1: It would probably be against SL TOS to bring it into SL. Why? Basically you have to be have 100% IP rights (Intelectual property rights) to that mesh. You have to own all the rights to the mesh. The only way to guarantee that is if you made the mesh from scratch yourself. 2: The mesh probably would not be optimized for real time rendering. Which means when you brought it into SL the LI would be very high. (especially on an octopus table ) Anyways it has to be alot more satisfying to be able to create something in Blender yourself and then bring it into SL even if to start with it is only something quite basic like a chair or simple table. Like most things to learn the basics of blender you need the will and alot of practice. (and a notepad to jot down the shortcut keys). Use the SL beta grid to do your test uploads because there Uploads are free. And come back here to post a screen shot of your first mesh in SL. Tutorial number 5 from the link i posted above covers and intro to Blender Edit mode but i have literally no artistic talent i wnat to make stuff people will want and possibly buy not crap they could hire their friend to do much better instead (though im not opposed to making crap so i can understand what it is im doing )
  12. Aquila Kytori wrote: Hi Splat You are almost right To rotate around an object its : Hold down your Middle Mouse Buton/scroll wheel and then move the mouse. MMB and Drag You can find quite a good Blender for beginners tuorial series here : Just a note: There are two modes to working in the 3D window, Object Mode and Edit Mode. You add your original mesh Primitive in Object Mode then use the Tab key to toggle into Edit Mode. Its in this Edit Mode that you do all the modelling stuff like changing a cube primitive into a chair for example. The camera and the light in the 3d window view you wont need to worry about for a few days/weeks/months yet . is there an easy way to get an instant object that resembles or is an actual thing ? i really just want to make this http://i.imgur.com/ZwCOD1W.png
  13. found better option middle mouse button ^~^ now to uhm ... how do i turn teh cube into a not cube ?
  14. preferably with a right or left click held down and drag of mouse ? http://i.imgur.com/ppUqqUc.png
  15. grabbed some free sclupts off marketplace but i cant make them look anything like how they're supposed too
  16. bigmoe Whitfield wrote: nope.avi. why ask? it's obvious unless you are trying to bring these people more business. i want the whale sculpt but i dont want to support copy bots
  17. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/133704 the sculpts are so cheap but the pricing is suspicious and so is their store its just random stuff what makes me really suspicious is they have alkl the individual dog sculpts at 10 L$ per but then the full pack is 10 L$

SL is for relaxing and fun and all other things you can't enjoy or realize in RL, please stay in those groups it will keep others free to enjoy SL while you fight windmills like Don Quixote its not a sick group its a decent group with 1 sick member that keeps making alts

I don't think we need more options. I just think you need to exercise some of the options you already have. why would i bow down to what that perv wants , they got banned from the group are pissed off and are trying to make everyone abandon it because of it thats what trolls do

A Linden may come on the forum from time to time to pay lip service to how they work feverishly behind the scenes to enforce policy but... nah... not really. If you find someone to be offending, it's a simple mouse click. You and your friends can just mute them. its a new account everysingle day if i could mute their IP
