Nice pants and buns ; )

Hi, IM trying to export some mesh shorts that i made I was trying to find some info on the net specific to clothes and my blender version with no luck so I figured I'd ask the forum (again):matte-motes-dont-cry: Im using Blender 2.64 with the sl support collada exporter built in. Here are my questions/problems Do I apply the amature modifier before I export? Do I select the armature and the shorts for export? In the Collada Export screen, What boxes do i tick or untick? How do i make sure the scale is right when i import. (Sometimes its too small or too big) As for the SL Mesh Import... The mesh shorts are not attaching to my body correctly. I click Add and it goes to my wrist or upper body and it obviously does not move along my bones. Good grief this is a pain. Fix one thing and another problem arises. I'm such a noob Your help, as always is much appreciated. Sorry if I missed the answer somewhere in this forum. ( I did look) Deez

Codewarrior, Thank you so much for your input. I will work on my skills... Now new problems arise..... Posting a new thread ; \

OK so i made my first pair of shorts. Simple no frills. Now I want to size it to the standard shapes. I think i have gotten the grasp of proportional editing but, it screws up my weight painting. Do I bone weight copy and weight paint each size individually or is there an easier way?

Thanks again for your time and insight. I will try this as soon as i get a chance. As for retopology, I will get there when i get there lol. Baby steps for this blender noob.

OK i know its a broad question... I know the basics of Blender 2.65 but, I dont know where to begin making pants. I can do shirts. However when it comes to the legs I dont know how to go about it. Do I start with a cube? Or, should i outline the torso of the avatar mesh duplicate and separate it. The later has terrible results because the domino mesh is a mess...vertices are not aligned and a lot of verts are not joined. I have looked all over the net and reviewed many tutorials but none explain how to make pants for SL. A general starting point would be a great help. Thanks in advance.

Wow Aquila! Thank you so much for your fast response and detailed instructions. It was exactly what I needed. It worked! You rock!

Im using Blender 2.64. I am very new to making mesh. I am trying to make some shorts. Please excuse my desription because i do not know the correct terminology but.... I outlined a basic shape for shorts from the rigged and weghted avitar.blend file, copied it and seperated it. Went into mirror modify and finished my model. I tried to apply the mirror and I got the error message. "Modifier cannot be applied to Mesh with Shape Keys" What am i doing wrong? Can someone do a tut for making simple mesh pants specific to Second LIfe? Im about to pull my hair out. Thank you in advance for your help.

Thank you for these instructions. It seems to be exactly what I need but I am having trouble painting black onto the body. I am making a shirt. So i made the upper body white per your intructions I deselected the mesh clothing and selected the body. changed my paint to black. But, when i try to paint onto the upperbody nothing happpens. I get the paint circle, I left click and the mouse just stops and does not leave any paint. It does however allow me to pain in Vertex Paint Mode. What could i be doing wrong? Thank you in advance for your help.
