First thing

In Blender every mesh primitive you

Add

in

Object mode

will be a separate object. 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 ?

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

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 

[I downloaded Blender ... How do i Rotate the camera around an objects ?]

any way to snap objects to each other? so its easier to align them ? 

 

i made my parts

Blender is designed to be use with one hand on the keyboard and one on your mouse. but you don't have to use shortcut keys

Below is a screen shot showing where to change from Object to Edit mode and alternative to using

G,

S

and

R

 

But please please watch some turotials

and transformation manipulators thats what i basically needed

[I downloaded Blender ... How do i Rotate the camera around an objects ?]

how do i just do this ?

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 ??

At the bottom of the second picture, Stitching type, Try changing that. 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

Why are you using the Grease pencil ? lol

Then use

Ctrl + Tab

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

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

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

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

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.

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 )

Hi Splat

You are almost right

To rotate around an object its : Hold down your

M

iddle

M

ouse

B

uton/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 

 

 

[I downloaded Blender ... How do i Rotate the camera around an objects ?]

[is this store legit ?]

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$

The group owner should be able to stop the alts by making the group joinable by invitation only instead of being public.

they dont want to do that because it might push new mebers away

 

and whats to stop the guy from getting an alt in or already haveing an alt in and just adding his other alts in himself

Or maybe you need to ask the owner/manager(s) of the group to monitor group chat and boot the perve every time OR you could stop receiving group chat OR you could just get the hell out of that group, after filing AR's at will about the perve.

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

This is something SL takes very seriously... but they are unwilling to do anything about it.  Once upon a time maybe, but not any more.  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.
