    Despite that it requires a license from the copyright proprietors, which are Marvel, and DC, Warner Bros., Disney and the like, to upload these super hero villains like the Joker into Second Life, there are quite a few things to know. I have written a short post a while ago to a similar broad question with a bunch of relevant links.

    Good to know,thanks. Ya I guess the Hot ones dressing up for Comic-con as Wonder Woman etc etc could be in trouble :) .  Ya I thought that though.  Will not name them and I have invented some of my own Super heroes and Villains. 

     

     

    cannot load images larger than 2048 x 2048 error

    That one's easy.  The largest size image that you are EVER allowed to upload to SL in 1024 x 1024 pixels.  All images must have pixel dimensions in powers of two ( so 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, or 1024 ). If your uploaded images does not already have power of two dimensions, it will be rescaled to meet those requirements by downsizing to the next lower power of two.  That process is inefficient, so it is much smarter to do the rescaling yourself before uploading.

    See http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Limits#Textures

    thank you

    I have never uploaded much of anything to SL although I have lots of space rented out to do so. This AC3D, looks real interesting I have made a lot of object statues in the past, mainly space ships guns and some curvy ladies and Aliens.  Also Clowns and Super Heroes.  Anybody had success using AC3D.  

    What my little plan is, is to create kind of a super hero villain park with Statues, maybe even some day with this new ani mesh I hear about.  

    Attached is one of my FAV SL AV Clowns I bought.  I will of course be uploading my own to make my statues, if I can ever figure it out. 

    Still stuck on uploading tga files, keep getting a larger than the max size allowed file, although it is well under the max at

    I guess this is a more relevant page for AC3D these days.

    Was her name Google?

    Look I see a lot of questions and for whatever reason they seem to get answered.  Search terms on google can give you the results you need or not, sending you on a wild goose chase.  I really appreciated what the lady gave me.

    and don't send me privat messages insulting me because you write the wrong questions.

    If you try that again i'll AR you.

    Your other threads seem to clarify that you are struggling with formats and not with producing as you tell here.

    And if you don't want people to reply, as you demand:  don't post on a public forum.

     

    So Threats NOW! AR ME?! WELL as for the wrong spot  Someone also put my post right back in the area you said it should not be so PLEASE just  go fight with her! I just wanted a little direction which I got from another nice lady and it was greatly appreciated BYE BYE

    Saying you want something others can see when you are not online, raises some questions. Anything you rez in-world is there whether you are online of not. Any mesh model is just a thing. So, are you thinking something other than just a 'thing'?

    There is a ton of stuff on how to model for SL on YouTube and Vimeo. Builders Brewery gives classes in world.

    https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+to+model+for+second+life = 34 million hits.

    AHHHH BINGO ding ding finally this is pretty much where I was stuck  Export an object to second life Here we go !   thanks again

    Right thank you that's pretty much it.  The reason I explained it like that,  is people were messaging me about avatars.  Not talking about that, so that is why I clarified with the Someone else can still see the statue of let's say Batman figure when I am not on line.  So basically a statue or like a chair or wall but a human figure with textures that I have seen and bought on SL store.  NOT an Avatar.  I understand you can NOW make Mesh statues. SO how does one do that?  They are apparently low prim count, or high if you like depending how you do them. 

    I have all the software and know how to use, just need some basic step by steps. 

    thanks again for the link.  I looked and used every conceivable search term and word combo, and kept getting nothing to speak of. 

    Mesh Rigging Without Avastar

    I'm not entirely sure what skeleton you're using, but there are two things to keep in mind from my findings:

    1. You do not need all the vertex groups to be included anymore. Try deleting some and see if that helps.
    2. If you're using a dev kit from a third-party (i.e. Slink) they may do something funny to the skeleton since they're assuming you have the Avastar plugin. I have tried using their templates directly and come across the same problem you describe.

    I would suggest swapping the skeleton you currently have for the one provided by Machanimamatrix (http://blog.machinimatrix.org/fitted_mesh_survival_kit/). Currently I'm still working on finding a "vanilla" Bento skeleton similar to the one I linked above. I have discovered something on the same site (http://blog.machinimatrix.org/avatar-workbench/) but I have not gotten a chance to verify it.

    Hopefully this helps. Please post any findings, as I'm sure others have similar questions.

     

    EDIT:

    I downloaded the Bento Female listed under "Bento Meshes (Without any warranty)" and replaced the armature from that file with the one in my existing WIP-rigged model. It seems to go in without trouble. I see the "Skin weights" checkbox enabled for me when I upload, as well. See if using that model/armature works for you. You may need to re-parent the model and/or add in the new bone groups.

    Can you make a mesh statue?  If so is/are there any simple step by step instructions or video?  thank you

    HI;

    I am looking for a simple step by step tutorial to upload an object type to my Island area that I have.  Basically it would be a Statue 

    something like this  

    https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/roman-statue-mesh-Full-Perm/4472895

    but more like the Joker Clown object I made in Poser [not as the attached picture, that is an avatar I purchased in Second Life] see attached Avatar as an example only.

    I am NOT referring to Avatars at all   

    My plans are ... I would make the Joker or a Batman or Superman Statue that other avatars can see when they are online

    in Second Life, and I am not.

    What format may I upload to my location in second life which yes does allow me to unpack objects etc etc 

    eg is it 3Dstudio, WaveOBJ, mtl [from Blender}

    I understand it should be best manipulated/transformed in Blender.  That is pretty much the extent of the info I can find.  SL would not accept the mtl I made

    Please if you have NEVER made and exported a Statue to SL, there is no need to reply   I am also not looking to do this for profit or open a store

    just have a little fun making some nasty villains and heroes. 

    I apologize humbly if this is not in the correct spot and please just message me with any condemnation for me asking for help.  I am not a stupid person I have been 

    working with computers for fun and curiosity mostly since the 70's [FORTRAN and Pascal ,visual basic C+] with pretty decent application knowledge for autocad-LT turbo cad Poser Pro 

    etc.  I have made and modified hundreds of textures and animations/BVH.   and while I have been messing around with SL since it first came out including a stint working with TTS  on it in 2008-09,

    don't you have the original programs? i'm sure they have those

    or use google/youtube

    the real creation process can't be learned here, you have to do that yourself in rl.

     

    Right screw it I will figure it out myself  thanks for the help !!!

    If your question is really about creating a object in such programs, your post is indeed in the wrong section, and doesnt belong really in any other section.

    If you want to know how such objects are made, you should be in the tutorials for those specific programs.

    Or clarify your question in the Creation section.

    Right so point me to the tutorial then ?! please !

    Hi

    Can some one PLEASE just send me to some information like a video PDF what ever,  on how to produce an object ... in let's say POSER, that I can then upload to Second Life and just sit down somewhere on the island I own and so other people can see and that I can add textures to but NOT animations ... not asking about ANI's ... I know that is under development ... ... let's say the batman or Joker  [like the pic attached but NOT the same of course] 

     I have Blender, Poser 14 PRO, Auto CAD light, etc etc 

    AND PLEASE do NOT tell me I have posted this some place else.  I get it, but I do NOT know where to post this question so I am trying GENERAL  Thank you my fellow GEEKS :)
