That would be an animation file, which are automatically uploaded to your "Animations" folder instead of your "Objects" folder. Try looking in that folder; if it isn't there then you can request a redelivery.

What version of the Second Life viewer are you trying to use? Recent versions no longer use the GPU table and instead use a built-in benchmark test (which has been known to cause its own problems.)

Some of them are/can be loaded with so many textures that the use up most of the texture memory the viewer is designed to use and you see the thrashing on in-world textures. The solution is to only wear the HUD when you actually need to change textures.

You can either use the "Wearing" tab in the appearance floater instead or just look in the "Current Outfit" folder in your inventory.

To be historically accurate with German WWII - airplanes you should at least make the Luftwaffe-cross prominent over the swastika. This cross has a rather limited association with nazis and has been in use by the German army long before WWII ( e.g. WWI-airplanes.) Many German airplanes of the day however were not always coated with that swastika. IYou shouldn't need it for historical accuracy, if you want to be safe with the T.O.S. The small swastika, on the tail part of the plain, was usually added on later when the NSDAP (nazis) took hold of Germany politically and took over the army, which of course also included their 'Luftwaffe'. Should the T.O.S. forbid use of swastikas anywhere, that would be your safest option to choose from. The standard WWII Luftwaffe markings throughout the war included the swastika on the tailfin; however, I just did a quick Marketplace search and none of the German WWII aircraft for sale there have it despite the rest of their markings being accurate. I'm assuming that at some point including the swastika caused enough problems for the makers that they removed it so it would be prudent for the OP to do the same. The TOS doesn't include any specific language about swastikas that I could see though. ETA - Okay, this is interesting... I decided to do some research on RL airplane model kits. The box illustrations of Luftwaffe plane kits from American or Japanese makers have the swastika; however, the boxes for kits by Airfix, a British (i.e. European) company, don't.

Phil Deakins wrote: You are mistaken, Coby. Small avatars like you need significantly bigger rooms unless they change the def-cam-pos, and we know why the def-cam-pos has to be catered for. So small country cottages would be out. On the other hand, significanly larger avatars and furniture would look ok in a larger than 1:1 country cottage, because the def-cam-pos doesn't change its distance behind the avatar when the avatar gets taller. I don't know what the ideal scale might be, but experimenting would reveal it. It would be beneficial to understand what the "default camera position" actually is. It may not work the way you think it does. I also did experimenting on this earlier. The camera actually has a fixed-focal-length and rides on an invisible "rail." The mouse scroll wheel, etc. doesn't "zoom" the lens, it slides it back and forth along this rail (what a cinematographer would call a "dolly.") One end of this "rail" is in front of your avatar; this is the point that the camera rotates around (not your avatar itself, this point in front of your avatar.) The other end of this "rail" is higher than your avatar and defaults to being behind it, so the rail runs diagonally down to the pivot. The "reset" position just slides the camera to the far end of this rail - it can stay at any position along it until you hit the escape key. The defaults set the location of the front pivot and the length and angle of the rail. These values can be changed semi-permanently through settings. The entire "pivot and rail" assembly moves higher as your avatar becomes taller. This means that a shorter avatar can both move in lower-ceilinged rooms and see more of the floor in front of them than a taller avatar at any given camera position. Meanwhile, I believe we've already established that bumping up the scale until a "country cottage" will look like its real-life equivalent will mean that it will be scaled larger than it's possible to make a vaguely human-looking avatar so avatars will look too small when seen in it.

Phil Deakins wrote: So why are you arguing about it? I've only ever spoken about the majority, and you've against everything I say. Let's just think about something. Suppose it is found that a 1:1.15 scale for avatars, homes and furniture works perfectly with the default camera position. Why not scale it all to 1:1.15? That way, rooms don't need to be bigger, and people can have nice country cottages or whatever. That limitation would disappear. My female alt shows that the female arms are ok at that scale. Why push the arbitrary 1:1 with its limitations when a slightly bigger scale would work perfectly? I'm interested in your answer to that. Yes, that would be fine if it would work. And if a frog had wings he wouldn't bump his butt when he jumped. Neither of those are likely possibilites because of structural considerations... One of the last times we had this discussion I decided to try to determine what the de facto scale of SL WAS by comparing objects in SL that were based on real objects with their real-world models. I found that objects meant for direct use by avatars (i.e. a guitar, a pinball machine, vehicles, etc.) tended to have a scale factor of 1.2 to 1.25) This kept coming up for things built over a long span of years, and if you have an avatar scaled to 1.2/1.25 human scale the heights will be pretty similar to the "typical" older avatar (bearing in mind that most avatars seem to be modeled on athlete/model body types that are taller than average in RL.) This also means that those avatars are getting near the top end of height possible with sliders even if we do not require Catnap-level proportional accuracy. However, rooms scaled up by a factor of even 1.25 will be nowhere near the required "three to four times real life scale" which you mentioned yourself and won't be significantly more usable - most buildings are quite a bit larger, especially older ones. So, if room furniture was built at 1.25 scale (for the avatars) it would still be dwarfed by the rooms. I found that much furniture, especially older furniture, was quite a bit larger than 1.25 scale. Older furniture designed primarily for display in rooms (including some of yours) tend to scale around 1.5-1.7 times larger than the largest real-world equivalent furniture, making them substantially oversized even for old megatars. However, they still don't look realistic in the old huge houses - I had a house with a bedroom that would comfortably hold two beds that were each 1.7 times the size of a RL king-sized mattress with room to spare, and six-foot tall avatars looked like children on the beds. If you still maintain otherwise, please tell us a scale factor that will work consistently with the default avatar and camera position so we can give it a proper test.

In addition to the other replies, you should know that just selling land doesn't automatically reduce your tier level - you need to go to your account and manually select a tier level that will suit your now-reduced land holdings or you'll keep being billed for the old level.

Ive done a clean install of drivers with no luck and no other issues anywhere else with graphics. Any ideas, suggestions or help is greatly appreciated! Luminous Orfan Driver 344.75 has some changes in it meant specifically for the very latest Nvidia cards and apparently there are some issues with it - Nvidia has issued a "hotfix" driver (344.80) which hasn't been officially released but is available on the forums. You may actually want to go back to an older Nvidia driver because the new features aren't supported by older cards like yours anyway.

Go to the "Textures" tab of the edit window - there will be the word "Mapping" with a big list-button next to it. That button should say "Default", not "Planar." If it says "Planar", change it. Once you get the vendor the size you want the "Horizontal Scale" and the "Vertical Scale" below the list button should both be set at 1.000. If they aren't, change them to 1.000.

I am trying to change the size of my 'vendors' in my store...when I edit the object to a larger size, they change to multiple images, and when I want to make smaller, my logo disappears on the image! What is going on??! Help! Regards, Kate It's how your editor is set for handling textures. I think what you want will work if you make sure "Stretch textures" is enabled; it may also have to do with the scaling/mapping of the textures.

Loki Eliot wrote: I'm working on a new line of clothes and fitted mesh being a new feature of 2014 is in my list to add. The thing is i'm a bit sceptical over wether adding fitted mesh is a good idea. I've heard that some clothes designers used it for some clothes then stopped. Some have said fitted mesh works great. I dont want to spend alot of work making my clothes fitted if the end result does not add anything much to the user's experience. So i thought i'd start a thread and ask users to come forward with their fitted mesh tales. • Has it made for a better or worst look? • Does it work? • or perhaps you have not yet even heard of it? • How many of you are currently wearing a fitted mesh item? It only strikes me being useful to wear over a fitted mesh body with compatible weighting. The default avatar body just scales too differently to work well with it. However, it's got real potential when used with a body like the Slink Physique or Belleza Venus body and some stores are already coming out with compatible mesh clothing for them. I see that particular market exploding in 2015 similar to how most new women's shoes are now built to fit Slink feet. I know you work with kid/young teen avatars. If you offer a fitted mesh young body with compatible fitted mesh clothes it should be pretty popular, especially since the current fitted mesh bodies don't scale down well, especially for small breast sizes.

Isn't that a TOS violation under heading 6, "User Conduct" of the Terms of Service? Certainly, the SL personality, whose video features are shown in "Featured News" in Second Life's Blog Feeds, has the right to express his opinion privately to others. But isn't open denigration of other members' countries a blatant violation of heading 6, "User Conduct," of the Terms of Service? The person in question is living in the United States, meaning that it's an opinion about something he has a certain amount of knowledge of.

Medhue Simoni wrote: Of course, the SL forums has always been unusually spammy, but this has more to do with software and programming than spamming actually being a problem in most forums. I'll refrain from expanding on this more. lol As you probably know, I sell products on every platform that allows for it. But, being that I refuse to submit to their commission fees, I'm not actually allowed to post products on their forums. For those that do submit to the commissions, and sell products on the platform's marketplaces, they are very much encouraged to post their products in the forums. Although, someone was looking for zombie animations, and of course got the standard big time creators that everyone knows, so I posted mine. The mods did not remove it. So, what you're saying is merchants should be able to post free advertising on the SL forum because "every single platform that sells 3D objects has a forum, and they all allow their merchants to post their products in the forums", when actually those other forums don't allow free posting?

Okay - this will take a while: 1) RenderVolumeLOD is for both scupties and mesh, and will have the same effect. 2) MeshMaxConcurrentRequests is only for the number of simultaneous mesh fetches that the viewer will do; it has nothing to do with the actual rendering of the mesh itself. 3) Turning up MeshMaxConcurrentRequests was a major contributor to sim lag on crowded regions a couple of years ago because people set it to ridiculous settings that would cause the server to try to send send massive amounts of data over and over again. 4) Since then, it's been capped both at the server level and in the viewer - actually I think 32 is now the upper limit for the viewers and the default is 16; it may be even lower now.
