I just wanted to mention that I had reported this problem to Linden Lab a long time ago. Now it is fixed (thank you everyone here!) I wanted to tell them it was solved. Rest assured that Linden Lab knows about it and they have a fix out soon. Pic from my support ticket... ☺️

Ignore me - I just saw the instructions from @Anicha Heartsong and after restarting it works. Thank you so much!!

Hi. I am having the same problem I think. SL was working fine on my computer until a few weeks ago and now it stopped. It seems like no mesh models will load, and no textures will load. My HUDs appear as blank grey rectangles. All I see of myself is a white or red cloud (depending on the viewer) or sometimes a pair of eyes. I cannot view my outfits and no textures will load when viewing in my inventory. I can see only the ground without textures and water and some prims (without textures) but no mesh objects. After some time after logging in I get some errors that lots of gestures cannot be loaded. I have cleared all of my cache, deleted everything and installed the viewer again. And it is the same in Firestorm and the SL Viewer. I have this system: macOS Monterey 12.2.1 iMac Apple M1 (2021) Memory 16GB Where do I turn off this virtual private relay ? Is it 'Limit IP address tracking'? That is already off. Is there anything else I can try?

Thanks everyone. I only have a Maitreya body and really the jewellery was for personal use primarily. I thought maybe i would sell them too if they were any good but that is not the main aim. But it sounds like i won't be able to make Maitreya ones. I will have a look at one of the free body kits and try to learn anyway

Oh ok, i have no idea how Avastar even looks, i've not seen it. So it shows you the body then. I suppose I will have to download it but then it I can't get the Maitreya model it's impossible fo me to get started. So it kind of sucks they don't give it out to beginners.

This is what I wondered. Seeing as I just want to rig something very small, could I get just the weights for these positions without needing a full Maitreya kit? It sounds like it is just some numbers I need to put into Avastar. Maybe I need to ask some people privately to tell me the numbers I need. I am happy to just make this for Maitreya to start with and maybe add more in the future. Thank you!

I have learned how to make simple things like bars and rings in Blender and make them *shiny* silver in SL but they are all unrigged. This is OK for ears because you can just attach them to a point and they stay there. But I understand that to make nipple rings for a mesh body I would need to make them into rigged mesh. I have heard a bit about this but I am confused about a few things. Helpfully someone can explain! I have been told that I need to know weights in order to make things rigged for different mesh bodies. Is it true that I would have to apply to mesh body makers to be given this weights information? I don't really know what is meant by weights. If I have to apply for this, why do body makers restrict this information? Do I have to have this weights information simply to attach a piercing to a nipple? I am not making clothes. It's two single points that need to stick to the body. Do I have to get Avastar for Blender just for my simple requirements? And even if it is not mandatory, is it still recommended? If I manage to get all of this working, once I rig a piercing to a nipple would it move with body physics? Or is physics something I need to do extra scripting for? Thank youuuu, sorry for the noob question (I did look in the search)
