Is it possible to prevent mesh uploader from splitting materials if a face reaches a certain triangle count? For example if in Blender I'm supposed to have 3 materials/3 faces, once I upload into SL, it turns into 5 materials/5 faces, because it split some of the original faces into 2.

Ah, seems the LOD generator didn't really reduce it far enough. I went back into blender and added decimate modifier about 5 times to reduce the # of faces down to about 15, then used that as the low/mid LOD's, now the upload cost is a normal 15L with 4 LI. Thanks.

I'm trying to upload some rigged attachments and I don't know why some of them have abnormally high LI and upload costs. For example: Attachment A has ~35k triangles, 4 LI, only 14L upload cost when minimum LOD set to 0 Attachment B has ~40k triangles, for some reason shows as 46 LI, whopping 60L upload cost even when minimum LOD set to 0 I tested another object and purposely made it extremely detailed by smoothing it in blender, ~120k triangles, only 4 LI and 17L upload cost They're attachments so physics is not relevant Does anyone know what else other causes high LI, other than triangles? Because that's obviously not the problem, when 120k triangles has 1/4 the upload cost of 40k triangles.

By removing the bones, do you mean simply removing them in edit mode or just making sure they're not in action editor? I checked action editor but it still didn't work, when I upload the anim I'm still stuck in the T-pose. Now I can't even get the pose to play at all for some reason, even though I clearly see it in Blender... it's as if the .anim is only uploading the first frame (t-pose), and ignoring every single frame after that. As you can see in below image only the joints affected by the holding object pose are in the action editor, everything else is blank.

Ah I see. So even if it shows priority 5/6 in bvh uploader preview, as well as animation explorer after I upload it, it's really 4? Was this a recent change? Because long time ago I remember the priority 5/6 hack (editing anim.ini or the bvh preview xml file) actually made them priority 5/6, that's how creators were able to create their restraint poses. I tried creating an anim version of my bvh as well through Blender Avastar, however after I export the anim my avatar's entire body is stiffened, seems the .anim that was exported set every single bone in the body to priority 6, despite most of them being neutral at 0,0,0, where this is simply ignored if it was .bvh file. Is it possible to do this with .anim format? Maybe set the bones that I don't want to animate as priority 0 or -1?

I tried uploading priority 5 but same thing happens.

No it's not in an AO, it's in an attachment. Yes I only posed the arms, not rest of body, so I can walk around normally. Update 1: something weird I noticed is if I try to set priority 5/6 in bvh upload previewer, set it to loop, and playback, whenever I turn/sit on couch/poseball the playback itself would pause. This is different from setting it to priority 1/2 where the playback itself won't pause, but obviously get overridden on my avatar. So the problem is not the anim getting overridden, it's pausing whenever I turn/sit. Update 2: while scripts might solve the issue, I found it's possible to accomplish this without scripts as I just checked one of Marine Kelley's cuff poses. I turned off my AO to make sure no anims are playing, then played one of her anims, it's priority 6 in animation explorer, and it's not getting overridden by anything. It's doing this without help of any scripts as I simply just doubled clicked the anim object.

I uploaded a holding object pose at priority 5, which theoretically should make sure it's not overridden by anything. But the pose is still getting overridden whenever I sit, turn, or use poseballs. Why is this? Does it have something to do with the animation only activating when I'm in standing state? How do I set it to override EVERYTHING to make sure my holding object pose is always active? Thanks.

I'm looking for ideas for a home cinema for ~5 friends, with a large screen. So far I'm ok with one of the following Skybox with 2-3 rows of seating Very large tent so I can place my own seating and rez a screen of some kind I haven't had luck in finding either of these. Mesh only, and needs to be rather high quality as I'm picky with furniture related things. The seats aren't necessary as I have a bunch of chairs. Needs to be MOD. I can't believe how many no-mod skyboxes or structures I've found on marketplace, completely ridiculous.

This is SL, they're just here to make a quick buck from their recently learned photoshop skills. Merchants can easily flag and remove any negative reviews for any reason. Already proven years ago Merchants can easily sell you an empty box and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. LL won't refund money, and you can't talk about it on the forum or the mods will think you're "naming and shaming", lmao. Let's all be shady merchants because there are absolutely zero consequences, seriously After sale service? Lol... I think you're being a bit too optimistic and naive here. Out of every 10 shops, you'd be lucky if 1 of them provides "after sale service". 9 of them will provide what I call "after sale screw you we got your money harharhar" I've had this store owner stalk me in my sim and grief (spamming my sim with objects with sim-crashing scripts and particles) after I exposed his **bleep**ty borderline nonfunctional products, true story. Expect anything to happen in a game like this.

And gift card, delivery, feedback cross grids..... No, in all my years have never found an llProtectFromIdiots( integer FACT ) plus Fact == FART Really? Accidentally cliking "gift" instead of "info" because they're so close together = idiot? In all my years I have never found an llProtectFromMoronicTrollTryHards (integer DUH). Let me guess, because you fail at scripting simple failsafe logic, you feel better blaming the customer? "Hur dur I dunno how to script a proper vendor that REFUNDS when something goes wrong, guess I'll just blame customer if something goes wrong cause I'm an idiot". Next time try harder when trolling, cause you fail at it. Seriously can't tell which one is worse, this forum or reddit. You people's logic is just baffling. I come on here warning people to be careful of the gift function in vendor scripts because it's scripted very poorly (which is your TLDR if you can't comprehend it) and get flamed, though why am I not surprised, not the first time it happened. Completely idiotic script used for vendor and I get 2 out of 3 posts blaming me for the vendor eating my money. Are you f-cking serious? Have you guys gone outside of your homes for the last 20 years? Ever heard of an ATM machine? Ever did online banking? Have you heard of something called failsafe? Ever heard of UX? If customer encounters in a bug in the system, it's supposed to simply just say "screw it"? If a customer clicks "cancel", it supposed to think it means "continue"? /triple facepalm

Earlier I went to a store and bought something via right click -> pay. It ate my money and didn't deliver. Fine I went to the redelivery terminal, guess what? Nothing. Then I went on SL website to check transaction history, yup there it is, my payment. How this happened? Because I accidentally clicked "gift" before clicking "pay", then didn't type in a name to gift to (obviously since I wasn't going to gift it). I cancelled the gifting dialogue thinking that would be fine right? Nope, it still thinks you're trying to gift someone, so when I right click -> pay, it literally sent my item to "empty name" which doesn't exist. Is this for real? We're over 10 years in LSL scripting and they can't script a proper vendor script? I mean I'm not a computer programming major but this is just common sense, like when you go to an ATM and input something wrong, it's not supposed to eat your money and say "haha sorry try again but we're gonna just eat your money". They don't know that when you cancel a gift name input dialogue the user means she doesn't want to gift to anyone? Even if that's the case, why not refund the money if the avatar name is empty or not found? I've seen vendors refund money in sales, so yes this can be done. If try to buy a group-only product without group tag, it will refund your money. I guess whoever scripted this vendor, likely CasperVend, didn't bother scripting a refund option if something invalid happens. So basically now I'm at the mercy of the shop creator, should she "feel like" delilvering the item I paid for. And you know how it is with a lot of creators in SL... log on maybe once in a blue moon to check money then log off, customer service? Never heard of it. Just a warning for people shopping in places where they use vendor scripts instead of the simple right click -> buy. Don't use the stupid "buy as gift" option, if you accidentally make a typo, type wrong name, or simply leave it blank, you're screwed and won't even register on redelivery terminal. Just pay your friend the money and let her buy it herself.

Not going to quote every post, too time consuming, but it's pretty easy to know which reply each bullet point is pointed at. I love how quick this thread turned into the following: Flaming me for wearing too much stuff. And it's your business how many attachments I wear? Don't reply if you think asking someone to spend 20sec to help a paying customer = I'm asking Trump to donate the Trump building to me. I like a bit of lighting, I like posing anywhere I go for photos, I like using two AOs, I like wearing a dozen accessories to look fancy, got a problem? Unbelievable. This forum is like a breeding ground for bigots. Just because you have 5 attachments on and look like the twin sister of Ruth Linden doesn't mean everyone else wants to. I'd love to imagine you going to combat systems and look at the fully-geared people. "oh emme gee too many attachments! All you need is a prim hair and bling bling heels!" Lol linking attachments is "time consuming"?? Lmao. Have you ever heard of something called "customer service"? Guess not. Customer service TAKES TIME, light bulb. Was I saying that I was demanding a linked version 5min after asking it? Are you saying that customers should get ANY kind of service after purchase because it "takes time" and creator is "too busy"? Lmao at "being mean to the very nice creator who offered a 50% off sale". Your logic is so flawed I won't even bother rebutting it. Let's just leave it at "typical fangirl protecting their goddess store and retaliating against anyone with criticism" not-worth-replying bullcrap. It's kinda amusing seeing fangirls upset though, gotta admit, just to see what kind of silly responses they give while holding a flaming pitchfork lol. This store deserves any kind of negative publicity it gets. I don't care if its stuff are 2x as good as Blueberry (which obviously it isn't, with flawed rigging and mistakes everywhere), with an unbelievable customer service attitude like that its score instantly gets cut in half. Would you go shop at Costco if the CSR's tells you "I'm too lazy to spend 20sec to help you lift this box onto your shopping cart, go hire a butler instead"? I was expecting a civil conversation, instead this turned into a flame war against the silly fangirls yet again. Gotta love how these fangirls interpret criticism as "being rude" lmao. I expect I have caused a few heart attacks by now if that logic is true, every time a fangirl reads my post. For today's update to the story read bottom part of my opening post. If you intend to do one of the following I suggest you click the back button in your browser because I'm not interested, nor is anyone else: Complain I'm wearing too many attachments and somehow equating the main idea of this thread = me running out of attachment slots. Learn to read pls, specifically the part where I clearly said this is NOT about attachment slots "But I love that store!!!oneoneone111, how can u say anything bad about my goddess"

You guys realize HUDs count as attachment as well right? I usually have at least 6-7 HUDs onscreen at once. Two AOs. Yes I switch between them all the time Hug/kiss HUD Lighting HUD Maitreya body HUD Omega relay HUD Inspector HUD Posing HUD There you go, 8 HUD's already. Sometimes I even have more, like texture HUDs or other RP HUDs. I also like wearing accessories. Necklaces, collars, cuffs, piercings, neko ears, tails, claws, rings, you name it. I easily get 36/38 attachments while semi-naked, not exaggerating. What's wrong with wanting to conserve attachment slots? This is SL, it's my choice if I want to look good and fancy. # of attachments does not equal ARC. I could have 38 copies of a 1-prim cube attached to me, does that mean my ARC is through the roof? NO. Likewise does it mean someone's ARC will be super low if they only have 5 attachments, each with 200 LI? Obviously not. However, that's not the point. It doesn't matter if I'm using 20 slots or 38/38 slots, it's irrelevant. The point is also not "oh creator is too busy, don't have time to spend 5 seconds to link a damn object", because the linked version is already available, they simply didn't put it into the full version's box. The point is why in the world is a top separated into 3 pieces, and why they refuse to give the linked version if they already have it (in the demo)? This is the equivalent of going to a store to demo a laptop with 3 USB ports, then after buying it, the store purposely makes it inconvenient for the customer by blocking off one of the USB ports with cement, saying, "oh I don't think customers will need that many USB ports, 2 is good enough". Besides thinking that all SL shoppers are too dimwitted to care or seeing how much he can get away with pissing off customers and making the creator himself feel like a pompous elitist, I cannot think of any other reason. Did it save them any effort/time not putting the linked version in the full package? No. Is the linked version for sale separately as an attempt to rip off more $? No. Are they gaining any popularity by purposely making it inconvenient for customers like this? Of course not. Lose-lose situation that this store's owner apparently enjoys. If you're interested in the store's name CadenzaInVivace quoted my post before I whited the name out. LOL good job.

We've already established the fact that most so-called "original mesh creators" (validity pending) refuse to hand out modifiable versions of their products because: They believe the rumour modifiable = easier to copybotThey don't want customers to play around with their stuff in case they make it look uglyThey think customers are too stupid to know how to use the edit tool then blame it on them if it breaksFine, whatever. People like me can always choose to just find stuff that are copy/mod to buy. But behold, a new level of "you can look but you can't touch our precious creation" has risen. This new shoe/clothing store (apparently I can't name and shame it, even though it deserves it) was so confident in their stuff that they turned me down for asking creator to link various parts of items that should be linked in the first place (e.g. a crop top's shoulder straps with the top itself). Really? No I'm not exaggerating. Anyone with any basic mesh knowledge knows that linking rigged mesh items does not affect their rigging. You could link your rigged hair to your rigged shoe and they'll still work. It literally takes 5 seconds to link an item to save on attachment slots - nope rejected. Reason? "We don't think customers need a linked version of this item". Oh and that's not all, their second reason was "if you use Firestorm or official SL viewer, you get unlimited attachment points" (which is absolutely 100% false but they refuse to admit it even after I linked the official wiki article). So basically bad customer service AND treating your customers like gullible dumbasses who will believe anything creators say and eat anything they're thrown at. Lmao. What's next? No it's not a problem with our texture, just wave an eggplant in your face and your lag will be all gone! Also the funny thing is, the demo is linked, with no notecard saying a linked version is omitted from the full version. So this is borderline false advertising as well. I can't be the only one here constantly struggling with 38/38 slots. What would you wear, a top that comes with 1 attachment piece, or one separated into 3 attachments for some weird reason? A harness that comes as 1 piece, or one separated into whopping 4 pieces? All that aside, I'm curious to know why? Why do they choose to purposely omit the linked version if they already have it for the demo? What harm does it do to your store to literally right click -> link an object? I wasn't asking for a modifiable version because with a creator like this that'll never happen. People who refuse to give modifiable stuff at least have (what they think are, even though most aren't) "reasons" behind it. I may not have a store of my own or do any full-time 3D design, but I do know the basics behind it and built a bunch of things. As a builder who endorses the idea that everything except scripts should be modifiable, something like this is just incomprehensible. If you had the patience to read all that, I'd like to hear your thoughts. Flaming from fangirls of this store is of course always welcome, it's an interweb forum after all. Update to the story: apparently not only does the creator refuse to link items, they refuse to correct ANY MISTAKES MADE ON ITEMS as well. One of their items, which I bought, has completely incorrect naming. The top is labeled "bottom" and bottom labeled "top". This is highly annoying for people who wear ONLY the top or bottom. It takes like 10 seconds to fix this right? And put it inside a damn redelivery terminal? Not too much to ask? Nope. Creator refuses to even fix something as simple as this, claiming "it's the customer's responsibility to remember the top is the bottom and vice-versa". Are you f-cking kidding me? This just blew my mind as well as the "bad creator rating scale". TLDR: This store will not correct any mistakes. Defective item? Too bad. We're too lazy to help customers. Avoid this store at all costs. I'd love to name it but the mods here are probably going to remove it in an hour. PM me if you're interested in knowing the store name. Let's just say the store name is the first word of a building in New York City and starts with E. Sometimes good quality stuff just isn't enough to make up for a completely f-cked up attitude.

Looking for a completely open (not semi-open or 25% open or 75% open) agent-style jacket or trenchcoat, preferably long style. Has to be open enough so that it does not touch breast area at all, tired of coats that are mostly open but touch half the breasts so that it either clips unless you're flat-chested, or entire front area of coat gets enormous if you increase breast size which looks terrible. Preferably rigged for Maitreya, but since I'm only looking for open coats other sizes probably will fit since arms/back/waist area aren't as sensitive as chest area when it comes to rigging.  I already have this one and it's perfect except it's in fur, not leather.  Pretty bad drawing but the style of the coat is pretty similar to what I'm looking for: 

Wanted: #Empire Minikini for Maitreya body, black/white/red (commons) preferredbut let me know what other colours you have. Key:  Message inworld or leave message here.

Wireframe as in it's just a thin metal wire in the shape of kitty ears. Not really looking for metallic ones like that, I prefer the leather/fluffy type as shown in the 2 pics. I'm not interested in real ears because I'm not a cat, I'm just dressing up as a neko maid..... oO

Anyone know where to get neko headbands like this (http://imgur.com/2rwpzkE) or this (http://imgur.com/j85mcBt) that's not a gacha? Looking for white though preferably comes with a colour hud. No wireframe/spiked ones, something simple like those 2. (Already searched MP. Got attacked in fashion emergency group by immature rednecks for wanting to wear a cute headband)  

My specs: Intel i7-4700MQ 2.4GHz8GM RAMNvidia GeForce GT 750M for mobileMy framerate has deteriorated severely. Half the time I dip below 10, most of the time it hovers around 10-20 which is pretty much unplayable. In laggy public sims (like hangouts or popular stores), it rarely ever reaches above 10. Is this normal for a mid-range GPU? My graphics settings:  As you can see these are mid settings at best. Anistropic filtering and anti-aliasing are both off.**Only uploaded images may be used in postings**://imgur.com/3d79a10b-df6e-4f64-9d32-efcf8a3153fe" border="0" />

I already did. No one is selling 1/3/5/7/9/11 (odd numbers). Only even numbers are for sale.

Want to buy SomeMore Saebome mesh head, #1/3/5/7/9/11. It was a gacha item from SaNaRae.  Leave message here or IM me in-game if you want to sell. Also, looking for similar Asian-style heads like this, such as the *(OO)*YUKI_(Moka) Some head: 

Anyone know where these poses used in Goji's ads are from? They're really cute. I've been looking all over SL but haven't even found a single store that sells cute girl-girl poses like these. I have a feeling they're all from the same store. Creator doesn't want to tell me where they're from, sigh. 

Does anyone know where these 2 skins are from? Also is the left one a mesh head or photoshopped to look like one?  Creator refuses to provide info. Thanks.

A lot of work goes into high detail weapons such as swords, personally I think it's a very reasonable price, especially if its scripted and animated. Sounds like you're going to need to compromise and either A) Ask the creator of the sword you like without the sheath, for a sheath and go from there. B) Cut your losses and go without, maybe even find another sheath that loosely fits it from some mesh pack. C) Raise your budget. And remember to try demos? I'm not sure what else to suggest, sorry! 1000 is not enough for 1 unscripted weapon? Fairly priced weapons would say otherwise, so would anyone with any experience in 3D modelling. Something like a sword is one of the easiest weapons to make, especially since you have a billion templates on the internet to start from. On the other hand if you want an exact replica of the Titanic then yes that would be actually hard to make. Weapons are only expensive because people are willing to pay that much for them (specifically the anime nerds), not because they're worth it, especially ones with those combat systems which I care nothing about. Just because Macbooks are $3000 each, does that mean everyone need to spend $3000 for a laptop? No, my laptop is only $1000 and it works just as good.
