Your friend should just give it back right away because it may be she received it from a unauthorized linden seller which could get her banned. Even if it wasn't one of those linden sellers, you can still get in trouble. 100k isn't a small amount and LL can see exactly where the money went and they can also look at your friend's chat logs.

Well, if you go to frame 15 of a 30 frame animation and move one leg up, that frame 15 is a keyframe. When you play the animation you will see that from 1 to 14 the program moves the leg until it is at the position in frame 15. So frame 1-14 are not keyframes because the computer is moving the leg. The red line in qavimator is an indicator as to which frame is currently showing in the preview window and the keyframes are marked by those little black triangles/marks. I'm not sure that you can cut an entire segment of animation. Haven't tried that in qavimator.

Yes, I thought that it may be ease in and out but that doesn't seem to work. Two separate animations works pretty well.You could control them with gestures or a hud. I'm not sure that you can put two animations to kneel and stand up into a standard AO though. I haven't seen any really good qavimator tutorials. There was one on the qavimator website. The link doesn't work and I don't recall what it contained.

You can use a gesture to combine a sound and animation. Not sure what you mean. You can't upload an animation and sound together as one file.

When you upload you need to set it to loop and then set the in% to a high number like 99%, maybe 100% in and 100% out...I don't recall. You should be able to see it in the preview. Of course as soon as you stop the animation the avatar will stand up.

I actually just went ahead and made one. It would've taken longer to type out a tutorial.

If someone did some false accusations against me like that I wouldn't just ignore them or mute them. First, you AR (abuse report) that person. Make that chat menu show as much as conversation as you can, take a screenshot, and send that form. I wouldn't expect that person to disappear on a single AR though. As someone, else said, make one for every time it happens and it'll add up. Second, I think you should respond if they are speaking ill of you in front of your friends. Don't go nuts and become another drama queen but speak to those who heard the rant and let them know that the ranting person is not saying anything true.

Three outfits for 1000L? That's a challenge right there. It's a good thing new skins and hair is not allowed. Business/formal should be easy as I've always seen free/inexpensive suits.

You should just look for a place that sells mod hair (most places I think) and buy a pink hair version or possibly a light blonde version, maybe even white and then mod the colors to what you want. For example, if you got a pink hair style you could turn most of the hair black since it would be harder the other way around turning black textured hair pink. You could also contact the hair designer and see if they could make you a custom hair. I think if it involved just changing the hair texture and not designing a whole new hairstyle that you'd get a better response.

Here's one of my faves. The Gisaci french cut bodi dress... I bought several colors!

or an alpha layer?

Wacom is the best tablet brand to get and a pen tablet IS much better than using a mouse when drawing. It does take a little time to get used to. When I first tried a tablet it wasn't exactly like I imagined it would be but after a few days it felt more natural and the mouse felt like moving a brick around. As far as tablet size, my drawing style doesn't have broad sweeping strokes and most drawing programs let you zoom in and out so having a large tablet size is more out of preference than usefulness.

There was a qavimator tutorial on that website and I haven't been able to get to it.

http://www.qavimator.org/ http://www.avimator.com/ http://www.daz3d.com/ http://www.blender.org/ Here are four sites with free programs that can make animations for SL. Avimator is really old and hasn't been updated but it still works. Qavimator is built from Avimator and was updated back in 2010. Daz3D and Blender are full 3D creation programs. There are more 3D programs out there but the rest have to be purchased. I'd recommend Qavimator as it's simpler to use and it's more modern than Avimator. Poses and animations are the same thing except poses are just 2 frames and animations have many frames. I wrote up a quick thing on how to make poses here: http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Animation/Model-Poses/td-p/700483 Knowl. I think your moving robot legs is a different kind of animation. That's prim animation. There are prim animating devices in-world like Puppeteer and others. Animating avatars has to be done with animations created in Qavimator/Avimator/etc. and then imported into SL.

I'm curious too about how this was possible. The only way I can see would be if they had the OP wear something or rez something. You can hide a script in any object.

Yay! Fashion threads!

That render lod realky works! I hate it when my prims get all wonky when I zoom out. Another thing is when you zoom in using ctrl-0 and forget to zoom out with ctrl-9. That causes your prims to look bad even without zoom.

I found these over at zero style. I think the bottom two are different styles or maybe they are the same style in different vendors...

I just bought a laqroki skin and their new a-cup layer. It looks great! Yes skinmakers, time to join the bandwagon. Who can say no to more sales?

The tat on a prim actually works pretty well for small tats. Plus the tat can have a far higher resolution than if you were to draw it on your arm.

OK, wandering around and I found a store called Clawtooth in the Tableau sim. Oldschool hair.

Have you ever seen a male avatar with nice skin, nice clothes, nice hair but he has a kind of short pudgy body? I've seen it often enough to know that it's the same shape. I think to myself, "There's now way he'd wear that skin and then use THAT shape!" It's a real mystery.

I tried making one in Photoshop and this is what I came up with. I think if you play around with your dot pattern you can make a better dimple pattern. Here's how I made it: 1. Start with small 100x100 canvas. Add small dots/spots with a brush. Avoid drawing dots at the edges. 2. Basically we are trying to make a seamless polka dot background. Under Filter->Other->Offset you can offset the image by 50 pixels which basically pushes the image halfway in whatever offset direction you choose.Here I chose offset up/down. 3. Draw more dots in the area in the space between. 4. Actually I should've just applied a 50 offset on both up/down and left/right at the same time... But for me, the next step is to just offset by 50 left/right and then fill in the more dots in the empty space. You should have something like this, a seamless image which can be tiled to make a seamless background. 5. Select the entire 100x100 area and choose Edit->Define Pattern. Then make a canvas as large as you want. I made a 500x500 canvas. Use your paintbucket and set it to pattern fill and choose the polka dot pattern that you just defined. Fill that area! 6. I really didn't plan for that pattern to show up. Now run Filter->Stylize->Emboss. 7. Select all and choose copy. You are copying the embossed dot pattern as seen above. But don't paste it anywhere yet! 8. Create a new layer and fill it solid white. 9. Here's the tricky part. while you are on that solid white layer go to the 'Quick Mask Mode'. I just press Q or I press the little quick mask mode button at the bottom of my toolbar (looks like a rectangle with a circle inside). 10. While in quick mask mode, choose Edit->Paste, or press ctrl-V, to paste your embossed dot pattern in the quick mask. It should look like the image in step 6 but it will be pink and white. I really couldn't get an image of this. Sorry. 11. Exit the quick mask mode by pressing Q again or click on the little button at the bottom of the toolbar. You will see a lot of 'marching ants', those moving dashed lines whenever you cut and paste stuff. Press ctrl-H to hide those if you want. 12. Swith to the paintbush again and choose a large brush size. As you paint over the canvas you shoudl see that the Quick Mask is masking the brush and the dimple pattern is showing. The more brush strokes you make the pattern changes. I tried black brush strokes first, then I tried white, and then I tried different colors! 13. And that's basically it! I was using Photoshop CS3.

I won't wear a hairstyle that causes my SL to become laggy or cause the viewer to slow down. I haven't really run into a bad hair like that in a while since you can usually get a demo and see any problems before you buy. I think I have had just a few hairstyles that had a huge amount of prims which caused a noticeable slowness. I don't wear those anymore. I tend to mute people who have too many prims or cause lag in some way.

Thanks all! I rummaged around my inventory and what did I see? Chip's lower body template already uploaded! I have made several invisible foot alphas previously but it's the toe area and the heel area that get very difficult to draw when you stretch the polygons. The template helps a little bit. No wonder everyone makes boots!
