[Prob with animation when sitting on an object]

I retargeted a mocap to the SL Avatar (using Avatar) and the animation is working fine so far. When I play the animation and then sit on an object, it works like expected. But when I sit first, then play the animation, the avatar starts hovering and moves a bit forward. Can anybody help me please?

[Issue with editing Marketplace items]

I tried editing the text for one of my items in Marketplace. The changes are persistent in the editor window, but doesn't show up in the actual Marketplace listing, so the only way to update anything would be relisting. Anybody else encountered this?

promised! You do such a great job! It's amazing to have all those doors open to new stuff to build, even apart from all those avatar animation possibilities.

This is just the first step:

now the fingers are waiting to be animated...

mh, I leave "Export with joints" unchecked, and then the bones keep the structure they have in Blender. Sounds a bit confusing for me, but you may give that a try...

have you been succesful with that setup, in the last 2 years? I'm looking into that too, and I'm not sure if it's worth the effort...

[.anim or .bvh?]

I made an animation (.anim) in Blender and uploaded it. When I want to play it, it holds the first frame and plays on when I hit the stop button...

it plays to the end, then stops, though I checked the loop button before exporting in blender. Can somebody please give me a hint?

got it, have to set the loop start and ending...

I managed to upolad a rigged object, it sits in place and can even be animated (though the hands are not in place, like they do in Blender...), I used Avastar 2.0.10



Using Avastar 2.0.11, the instrument always flips to the original boneposition (I use the wingbones and looks like this:

 

[object misplaced in Bento -compared to Blender]

I have an object, animated in Blender, making use of the wing bones with the help of avastar. It works ok in blender, but the object is a bit off in SL.

The Avatar is the same size, I imported my Avatar into Blender for this.

Can somebody point the direction to go, I have no clue at this point...

[Project Bento Feedback Thread]

after gathering a lot of information about Bento I have the imprsession that it's not only interesting for avatar builders and maybe clothes designer, but also for builders of other mesh attachments like weapons, musical instruments and similar objects that could make use of the ability to animate moving parts.

the whole rigging stuff is completely new to me, and before I'll take my first steps into that subject I'd be happy if somebody could confirm my assumptions:

 

• It's possible to build and rig attachments that are not body parts
• I don't have to care about the bones that i don't use for my objects
• classic SL avatars can wear and use that objects

if that is right it seems be worthwhile to dive into that matter...

[bringing sound in louder?]

that's my favourite subject ;-)

you answered your question yourself, basically it's the seagull, as loud as heck.

Most uploaded sounds are overly compressed and saturated, even if they are rather low in nature, so we all can't make use of the whole dynamic range (granted, that range is very limited...) and the acoustic environment is mostly playing at the top end of this range. The only way to get around is to play low sounds low and keep the top end of the range for really loud sounds...

It's very similar to the fact that many ppl make their avatar much bigger than the given scale intends, and when they meet someone who's taller, they have to make the own avatar even bigger, and in the end their houses and environment have to be taller too and they're calling for more prim allowance...

to make it short: the whole sound concept is far from perfect, like the whole thing, but we should be wise, making a better use of it and use the whole dynamic range...

 

ETA: the sound in audacity is louder than in SL because of the roll off. If you zoom in very close to the sounding prim it's alomst as loud as in your app

oh, and I remember, the beer was served in a pitcher, when I was in America (looong ago...)

and that's how they call the man who throws the ball, at baseball games, right?

edited to add: but pitch is still no no, I have to try pitcher...

["pitches" - OMG, I wrote that nasty word...]

looking at a M rating at MP I found out that "pitches" (excuse me for writing this word here) is a no-no-word.

I use it do distinguish musical notes as high, mid or low, and that's the only meaning I know of (I'm not a native english speaker)

Can somebody please explain, why this word leads to a M rating? what did I miss?

[weird permission behaviour]

oops, that sounds complicated, but I will look into that

[weird permission behaviour]

somehow the permission system is still a mystery to me.

I built an object, with all scripts and sounds "copy", and the object itself "copy" too.

In the inventory of others (I checked it with an alt) it shows up as "no copy". When I rezz it, it's gone from inventory, however my alt is able to shift/drag copy it. Once it's taken back to inventory it shows as"copy", but now it's "no mod", though it has been mod before...

I'm clueless, has anybody a hint?
