Hello dystopia!

Odysessus and The Sirens from Sophia Trefusis on Vimeo. This was a fireworks,water and dance performance arranged by the very talented and nice people at Versailles in SL for their New Years celebrations. The whole performance was 30 min long but had to be edited in the video. It doesnt take away from the experience too much I hope. It never seizes to amaze me all the different ways people can express their creativity in SL. :) Visit -Chateau de Versailles- in Second lifet

Blenders interface is like the Da Vinci code and Rosetta stone all rolled up in one IMO

Oh,Im sorry I didnt mean to imply you were... Well I am a little less trusting than before but if I help someone its because they are a genuine friends or just hopelessly newbie But its like the real world...we cant like everybody. Too bad you had such experiences I found rigging a little less harder now...But still a totally (hopelessley)newbie lol At the moment my Blender is acting up,but im sure there will be a solution to be found. Are you thinking about getting into making mesh?

I managed to rig some mesh skirts in Blender 2.49b and then I used the Collada exporter and it worked like a charm. Today I decided to make a bodice to got with the skirt,and made them into one mesh. I imported the obj. and rigged it to the armature and pressed the Make Real button.Same as with the skirts I had done before but now.... Now all the Collada Exporter does is freeze and when I check the models in the upload Model preview it say something like "model lacked subset.." or "issue with dae parsing" Im using the avatar.blend Anyone know what might be going on? Should I uninstall and reinstall Blender/Python/Collada script or what? Im a real newbie at this so I dont know what it could be. Please help :/

They nest everywhere the little critters. Its a bit weird...Im only waiting for someone to feed them after midnight and theyll reveal their true nature >

You were right But it took some hours lol First one I managed to upload became all freaky so I ended up with some white monstrosity attaching itself to me.But the 4th one came out..adequate Now only to learn those body weight paint thingies...

I managed to upload a mesh skirt that moves with me . It was hell to get it to work though.And its ugly..but it moves and is a mesh. But it was an experience. I am using Blender...thats free. I agree about not saying to people they have to "tough it out". I taught myself how to make clothes for SL, to texture and make flexi skirts etc. But I would never say something rude like that that to another person. I like to help out where I can..to a degree. People have to do some things for themselves or else its someone elses work. I had a girl who I helped out who at the beginning I was happy to be of assitance to...but soon she IM-ed me constantly asking about everything. Like "How did you do this" How did you do that?" For EVERYTHING. In the end she opened a shop and put out her designs for sale. Only when I say her designs...I mean she copied others. Without my permission she copied my custom made textures,copyboted another designers skirts and so on. So that was pretty bad. I think that there are classes out there..no idea where though

I will keep it in mind. Thanks for trying to cheer me up. Of course you can always learn something new (I have to admit my ignorance of what NURBS is though) and I want to be able do it very much.So thats a motivation I have a friend who has managed to rig clothing and told me I could ask for help...but shes on a different timezone so its hard to get in touch In the meanwhile I am struggling to comphrehend Blender.Wondering why Blender wont acknowledge that I have the Python thing installed. Did they fall out with each other or something?

Well..there is definetely smoshing Ive always prided myself on not being afraid to try new things in designs.... so it frustrates me so to think I might fall behind.

Hmmm youre making it sound easy I saw ahead of me hours and hours of banging my head against the keyboard and shouting at the screen "What?What?!" I will try it lol.

lol I havent even got an inkling about weight painting. Im still hacking myself through the mesh rigging jungle...while youre at the temple of mesh

Yes,but thank you anyways :)Its like greek to me at the moment. I feel kind of defeated. That youtube tutorial is about making a shirt...I need one that shows me how to make a skirt.And not a clingy one. I will give the tutorial by Gaia Clary a try...once ive built up my shattered patience.

Is there an understandable tutorial for mesh rigging out there? I tried following one on youtube...It was difficult to follow. I come to a certain step...then it becomes horribly complicated. Would really like to master it. It could bring my designs to another level. I can see the possibilities and I want it so bad. Figured out how to make the 3d models at least but... My textures and designs have been complimented in the past,but now I feel like from being one of the top designers in my part of the sl. (well in historial rp anyway) I could very well end up becoming a thing of the past. Its quite well to announce "weve got mesh! woooo!" But there is no official tutorial,everyone is left to figure it out on their own.I feel quite downtrodden and depressed :/ Is this end of my building? I hope not.

I managed to create this perfect skirt for one of my designs. Suddenly its no transfer :( The prims are mine..so are the textures. But no matter how i try..I cant change the permissions... Anyone know if there is a way to reclaim it?

Oh thank you very much-for both! ;-) Im crazy about poses..especially for my vendor pictures. And this idea just came to me:some girls wearing the same dress but in different colors..just running wildy down a street.lol I will have to send you a pic of how it came out That is as soon as ive taken it.

I am looking for running poses. I already have one good pose but need 3 or 4 more.The effect I want to create is a scene where some people are running to catch up with someone. Its for a clothes vendor photo. Tried searching for "running" and "chasing" on marketplace but isntt finding anything relevant. Help please?

Got a message from a girl with her email adress and an offer to get to "know her better".Ive never heard of this girl before..nor am I interested to! I googled the emailadress and its reported as wellknown scammer email.Can I report this person to the Lindens? And how?

What kind of gown are you after? Description? /Sophia Trefusis of Trefusis Designs

I am looking for running static animations. I already have one good pose but need 3 or 4 more. The effect I want to create is a scene where some people are running to catch up with someone. Its for a clothes vendor photo. Tried searching for "running" "chasing" on marketplace but not finding anything good or relevant. Help please?

I reported a post to the mods. Can the person who wrote the post see it was me? Thank you for all your answers. I just got really worried since I prone to become nervous and suddenly that idea hit me "omg what if they can see it was me who did it" As I mentioned before...that post..was unsettling... I could only chose one correct answer but they were all good :)

I tried rigging a mesh following a girls tutorial on youtube. I managed to follow as far as step 3..then it turned into something similar to the da vinci code @_@

Your profile pic is beautiful I like the contrast with the black and white with the red gloves

The nicest compliment Ive ever gotten in SL was when several people IM-ed me to tell they really liked a freebie I had put out at my shop It was kind of funny since it was a mens 18th century suit..but both the girl and guys seemed to like it equally It was hilarious and made my week. There was also the time when I was voice chatting with a girl and she told me I had a pretty accent:)

If you mean when Im inworld...I like to make clothes and visiti exciting sims
