Right I just did find an SL figure specifically designed for SL.. Waiting for confirmation from Artist. Yes way ahead of you on all points there. Ya I can definitely make mesh

This looks like an outstanding collection of training videos. a few bucks a month but, should be worth it? Anybody try these? Lynda training

thank you. and I can do all of the above for a Statue already made?

thank you. and I can do all of the above for a Statue already made?

How can I make my statue more efficient. i.e. weighing in at around 300+ currently; Could someone please direct me to tutorials etc, for such items as reducing in blender, how to use perhaps other items like the SL upload tool, etc.

Ohhh KAY, me too me too. Well in addition to locking I also always grab/edit the little messed up statue that I am done with, and move it around a little. Then hit delete. Besides the little bugger being all high-lited it has the little directional arrows sticking from it ... I have one or two ani mesh statues open at a time that I am often doing finishing to in SL, SO yup I have deleted the Artist's loft to my Island more than a couple of times. It is always in my trash bin, so poof I just recreate it. I have not deleted since using this special little caution deal with the editor. Takes two seconds tops. WHICH brings me to my question for another part of creation {{how the F do I reduce the size weight AFTER making the thing!!! }}

Well OK then BUT BUT Maybe some of them are still alive? Think you will like this ...

Lots of answers here http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Mesh/Upload_Model_UI_reference

This site has a nifty program https://www.altova.com that may work will give it a try

thank you sir, and I also just found this great tutorial

I need to do a little sanding on the statue I just made prior to adding some texture/colours but the one app I would love to try I just cannot find. https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/dev/modeling/meshes/editing/transform/smooth.html the laplacian smooth modifier https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/dev/modeling/modifiers/deform/laplacian_smooth.html

Can you export a shape or dae from poser that can be used in Blender? You cannot export an xml nor accept them in poser. I really like blender but would love to be able to use some of the shapes I created over the years in blender/avastar. Then upload to SL as a mesh avatar or mesh statue

Mesh Forum? where is that? cannot find it

Right thanks already on that one.

Hi Am I in the right group to chat about blender avastar ? thanks

Thank you

WOW SSSTTTTRRRREEETTTCCCHHHHHH

OH OH OH ... just thought of something. Does not SL get a piece of the $L when-ever a sale is made??? Hmmmmmmmmmm then again how involved is Walmart with the details of any merchandise they sell and their liability, I guess?

But I guess it is obviously OK to buy Official Jerseys etc etc? https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/62638 So I could buy a Baby Groot and put an NFL Sea Hawks Cap on his head? YES! Hug City here I come !!! Wrong, those are not officially licensed jerseys. The NFL has not given anyone in SL a license to make anything. SO They are then kinda maybe NOT telling the full story here? https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Seattle-Seahawks-Super-Bowl-XLVIII-Champions-Team-Wood-Sign/5738170 There was one other store I ran into that said it had OFFICIAL NFL gear here ... AND THEN here's the WWE. Ed McMahon would have a kineptic fit and Body Slam SL but I guess they called Ed up and got permission? https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/131862 Anyhow anything I use is messed and meshed out on my own and 100% original so if I ever do get some Statues I'll have to cook up my own Super Heroes I guess. Thanks

What?! So is this Illegal??? https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/C-Batman/12827920 In addition if I went to this fellow after ani-mesh Statues eventually and possibly get all the bugs worked out, and asked him to make me a Batman Mesh Object Statue, ... he couldn't? BUT the Avatar he and several others [spider-man, aqua man, even more of the girl superheroes] are making is legal to sell from Second Life. ... BUT doesn't SL Management have a review system for new products that get put out there? This is not the only store filled to the brim with Super Hero Avatars. I mean who wouldn't want to be able to run around SL decked out as Baby Groot? You must get hugged to death by aniBoobies. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/C-Baby-Groot/11776863 I am seriously thinking of buying this little fella for SURE! In fact I just did LOL OR if what you are trying to say IS that I cannot just grab a 100% mesh AV and somehow break the lock code on it then back Engineer it and then make a Statue from it ... NO of course I could not do that and wouldn't, but could AV Artists currently do the transition to making their Mesh Bodies into Statues/Fixed-ani-Characters? even a Batman or a Superman? I know Sport Teams would have a fit if they ever came in here and saw an NFL QB Avatar. all decked out in an official like Jersey ? But I guess it is obviously OK to buy Official Jerseys etc etc? https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/62638 So I could buy a Baby Groot and put an NFL Sea Hawks Cap on his head? YES! Hug City here I come !!!

Good point do you know of any links video etc on how to optimize and what is/are the biggest way that developers mess up ?

Yes that is the same with any program employing a render engine. I assume 2ndlife empluys basically an online rendering system, similar to a lot of online games. If I make a poser figure too complicated, like a big battle cruser or furry clown, won't work crash ad burn

thank you

thanks again
