Hi,
I’m trying to make a simple pet-attachment in Blender animated with Bento skeleton.
I created (test): mesh model with weights and animation. Now, it works in Blender only.
I found a suggestion that it should be done with Avatar.
I bought, activated Avatar. Seems that It enabled animation uploading in SL what was a part of problem (without it I had 'Failed to upload animation(...)' notices).
But I still don’t have a working animated pet.
What I have now after upload to SL (created/exported from Blender with Avatar Adddon active) are:
my animation (working with Bento skeleton)
STATIC mesh model of pet attached to avatar
During mesh model upload option for skin weights are unavailable. When I export mesh from Blender I have Armature modifier.
I made already animated pets in SL (with Blender and baked frames script/method). I also made weighted clothing in SL with Blender earlier.
YT tutorials brought me this far, but I feel stack now.
