Medhue has great videos on rigging with bento. Even though the videos are dated, they are still accurate.

Hiya, Ruby! You can contact me in world if you'd like a quote for your project. I will only offer the best of the best work, no matter what size project you want created.

It took me a long time to get to the point of finishing an entire project in one day. That's a great accomplishment! If you look at these other meshes you will see the extremely tiny verts and triangles showing the proof that all they did was use a smooth in Maya or a subsurface modifier in Blender. It's cheating 🤣 Good for you for trying NOT to do that. You make SL a better place.

Thank you again for your help. Trying the button with the "b7", "texture", 1,1, "diffuse_UUID", "normal_UUID", "specular_UUID", <1, 1, 1>, 64, 0, "#", doesn't change anything on the object. I tried multiple configuration methods for the buttons and nothing has worked. I once paid someone who essentially did similar code and while the code itself works according to LSL, somewhere we aren't understanding how to either tell it to change all three via the scripting itself or the configuration script. It will only ever change one texture at a time, applied to the texture face slot. The only changes it ever made with the spec or normal is that it would apply it to the main texture face, so while this is sound code, either I have my button information wrong or the code just isn't done right. I think I'm just going to have to hire someone who can execute this for me, as I can't just share the code as a part of the agreement of the original author who did the work for me. I am open to suggestions or if someone sees the mistake I'm making in my button configuration.

Thank you so much for your help! The code is solid, but when I attempted to use it in my HUD it applied the spec file as my texture with no normal or spec map. Could it be in my configuration script? This is what I used with an example of what a regular texture line looks like. "b7", "texture", 1,1, "UUID", "specular", 1,1, "UUID", "<1,1,1>", "normal", 1,1, "UUID", "<1,1,1>", "0", "#", "b8", "texture", 1,1, "UUID", "specular", 1,1, "UUID", "<1,1,1>", "normal", 1,1, "UUID", "<1,1,1>", "0", "#", "b9", "texture", 1,1, "UUID", 1,1, "#"

Double check that you don't have more than one UVMap on your model in Blender. If you accidentally have more than one, this could be your error.

I would suggest you add false parameters around your objects to tell SL it's bigger. If your items are tiny then the system doesn't know what size you actually wanted it. I recently did a project with a tiny bell on it that I needed as a link of it's own. I took a box, attached it to my bell in Blender, linking the box last. Apply the scale, with the box as your new root prim and either add a trans texture to the box or merge your vert on the box until you see nothing, but you have the parameters of that box. I'm not good at explaining this stuff so if you have problems understanding me don't hesitate to IM me in world.

Often, those are modelers who do not understand their craft. They will often use a smooth options on their models instead of learning how to manually model something with the right amount of geometry. The more they press this button and manually crank up the vertices. Since many in SL are simply learning enough to create and make money they are missing steps that a good modeler uses where you use your high poly model for your textures, but you only need to use your low poly if you know how to add geometry to the places that are needed. Not everyone is creating and trying to do it well. Many are simply creating for profit, fast.

Hello! I have a custom made HUD script made for my creations to where I can add particles, animations, and textures in my HUDs. I need to change the texture part to also include the normal and specular textures so that when you hit the texture button it changes all 3 at once. My only experience with scripting is editing or working with basic LSL commands so while I have tried things, I have gotten no where. Could someone please have a look and show me where I would add the spec and normal changing info? I'd appreciate it. I have a configuration script that you enter the details in like the UUID, prim face, and parameters. The section with the texture info looks like this: else if (cmd == "texture") { tmp = llList2List(tmp, 1, -1); integer tmp_lng = llGetListLength(tmp); while (tmp_lng) { string tex = llList2String(tmp, --tmp_lng); integer face = (integer)llList2String(tmp, --tmp_lng); integer lnk = (integer)llList2String(tmp, --tmp_lng); if ((key)tex) { llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(lnk, [PRIM_TEXTURE, face, tex, <1.0, 1.0, 0.0>, ZERO_VECTOR, 0.0]); }

I could make this happen for you as an animator. If you're interested, contact me in world.

I plan to make a puppy play AO and do have experience animating in this category of play. If you have suggestions or ideas, feel free to send them to me. If I use them, I'll send you a free copy of the product.

I'd be willing to help, but some of what you want may be on the script end. I can provide you with the animations for each instrument, but the rest needs to be done via scripts, unless I've misunderstood something. Contact me in world if you'd like to discuss this further.

As someone who currently uses Substance Painter I would have to say the answer to this isn't just one reply. My suggestion to you is if you follow basic substance tutorials it will explain the answers for you. There isn't one setting to do this. Some of this answer depends on the shader you are using. Is there an export to SL? No. Is there an export for SL? No. Is there a way to get specular, roughness, etc, yes. But, it's not one setting and click here and just export like this. You could have the proper settings to export and still may not produce the map you are after unless you understand Substance Painter. I refer you to tutorials on the export settings and tutorials on the shaders SP uses. The most basic Substance Painter tutorials that were put out officially by the company who creates the software will explain these things. Good luck!

That's cute. I've personally heard her in multiple instances declare the project belonged to her.

I completely agree with you. I purchased the Peanut No. 9 scripts and began to use them in my products until the political activism began. As a highly political person, even I don't want politics in my SL. Every creator I know who uses the scripts had angry customers. We did not agree to any of this before making the purchase of these scripts. Besides, news and activism isn't the same thing. I thought the news meant updates on the products. ( As an American, it's extra annoying to be lectured by someone who doesn't even live in your country.) As I began to learn more, I found out that there's more controversy surrounding this creator than most realize. Peanut No. 9 scripts have a kill switch in them so she has the ability to break the products of any creator or customer who upsets her. Thankfully, I found out the original OpenCollar project owner came back with some team members to update the project that is now available in Second Life again. I simply changed all of my collars to use the original OpenCollar scripts again. You can delete the Peanut No. 9 scripts out of any collar and replace them with the OpenCollar scripts. If you aren't a builder and you need help with setting it up, feel free to IM me in world. You can find the original OpenCollar project here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/KBar West/28/80/1201

The shopper can filter items in your store based on the categories you have put your items into. So, yes, there is already a system to do this. In order for people to find other "like" items you would use what the previous poster said and simply choose those items to affiliate them with. This way when someone is looking at one of the pieces they will see the others at the bottom of the page. Also, when you list the items, if you do so one after the other, they will be listed this way. When someone comes to your store page they can then filter your items by the categories you have listed your items in and can also choose to filter the items as "new". I honestly wouldn't worry about it. Just make sure you state it in your item description that other pieces are available. Just remember that people will often look to go to your store in world if they want more of a certain item you make and are curious what else you sell this way, but but lost their patience for MP shopping. I also advise you use the most specific category as possible when you list your items. Don't just use a main category.

I have two MP store fronts. Yes, it's more work if I upload everything from one avatar, but my items on my second store are full perm. I never have customer issues with someone buying the wrong item. Most people who buy from full perm brand do not buy from my main brand. It's just a different marketing area/need, so for me it works to my advantage to keep 2 stores. My main store sells a mix of things and I do admit that marketing can be a bit more of a struggle than if I focused on one specific thing. But, try to tell that to my inner child while I'm creating and it falls on deaf ears.

If there happens to be someone doing something against the TOS and getting away with it, report it and find something meaningful to do with your white privilege. For example, how about addressing the real problem in the world of human slavery that consists of all genders, including children, that are sold in the sex industry. We should be thankful that cootie virus has cancelled major sporting and entertainment events so that there's less places for these people to be sold. There really are actual things hurting people in the real world, you know. Sticks and stones... you ever hear that idea? The big problem with addressing the original problem is that most people do not understand that after launch a gaming company drastically reduces their staff and since this is the real world employment of those who have to go through your every complaint, we are talking about hiring more people. Do we want to increase the cost of SL for everyone, including upset merchants already upset about merchant fees? What platform will there be if the fees keep increasing? The moral of this story: Report what you find is offensive and don't forget there are really dangerous things happening in the real world that need your help. Something to think about after lock down. Policing speech isn't going to actually help anyone in any way other than feelings. I bet those sold in the sex slave trade are hurt by far worse.

I feel ya. When the first virus was confirmed in Detroit area they had a newspaper article that tracked where this man went. It was something like he flew in from Italy or England and ignored the talk of the voluntary quarantine. This single story turned into 4 others doing this and before we knew it cases were doubling. At first, I felt like sick people will finally realize how selfless they are when they participate in the community when they are ill. They put people at risk with just the flu and the shedding from flu shots. If they were more aware of their surroundings and their community we may not have the draconian lock down we have here in Michigan. But, sadly, people have to suffer before they understand things sometimes. Stay healthy!

You really need to eat your own advice. For myself and for everyone else, I'll do what I thought you were going to do and mute you. Just because you don't agree with me doesn't make it hostile. You just don't like what I have to say because I've not validated your feelings. My point was that this is what I am sick of and I am allowed to vent just like others are. You are the one who took everything I said as hostile because you can't handle the truth. Since I have not lived on the forums for the last 10 years to get the cred you have, I accidentally had the notification thing on otherwise I would be reading on the things I was researching in the forums. Find something productive to do.

Let me say this a little more clear because this may have been missed in my giant post. I do think we need to rely on our federal government. But, my gripe is that people are just pointing fingers and blaming. My rambling was set up by the idea that people think the federal government is supposed to supply us with everything we need for any relief, when it's our state's responsibility and in order to get aid from the federal government they have to file to declare the state of emergency with the feds. That's where increase funding happens. That's the way it's supposed to work, that we need help so the feds send us help. I feel like all I was hearing was people want Trump to do nothing because they don't like him nor his innovative way of thinking. It is uncomfortable for them to have a conversation if they don't like the person. I am all in on the idea that the money we put in should be coming back to us. I do not like centralized power and that's where my real gripe is. I think it can be a very scary thing if we have a society that never learns these things and then accepts it in our future. I am more over Trump bashing than I am hearing about covid-19 and staying home. I am totally over hearing people pointing fingers and blaming, no matter who it is. Often, it's coming from the people who don't have much to be complaining about in the first place. If there was a strong political statement that I want to make it would be that we need to hold our local elected officials responsible for everything they are doing to affect our daily lives. Many people can't even name their state senators or their local representatives. I would like to see that change. A friend of mine the other day said, " I didn't realize we had a state congress." When you write emails and make phone calls, it does something. When people point fingers on the internet it's not only pointless, but it's the very bullying atmosphere most are against. With that said, I am done on the forums now and won't see anymore alerts. Thank you for listening. That's what I thought this thread was for or I would have never posted.

Awww! I'm sorry. Did I not follow YOUR rules again? I am seeing a pattern here. You don't like when you can't control other people and their opinions. You're not used to people challenging you. I know and I'll learn to obey. We wear pink on Wednesdays, right?

Have fun, mean girl.

The point of what I am saying is that when it comes to a crisis we are not supposed to take orders from the federal government and that our states really are supposed to be responsible for an emergency. The constitution does not tell anyone what to do. It protects our rights. My problem is that people look to the federal government and it's been programmed into people's minds to do so. I stand by everything I've said.

You must have ran that through Snopes. Or maybe you just automatically agreed because you think she "got me" somehow. You really do need something to do, huh?
