I have "Iliana" - standart avatar. I wanted to create own animation of dance, using Blender 3D. When I uploaded it, was the first trouble about (Root name must bee "hip"). I renamed root bone to "hip". And I see preview of my animation, when uploaded again. After this, I wanted to send ot for L$10. But there was problem again All names of my bones were "Unknown". Where I can get standart names of bones? Or full scelet? It is desirable for free. I heard about Avastar, but I don't want spend so much money just for fun.

I'm new to avastar and I use blender. I messed up the weight on one part of my model and now I'm stuck, long story short I ended up removing all the weight on that bone. My question is pretty obvious, how do I copy the original weight of that bone back to my model, but only that bone while keeping the rest of the weights untouched. I'm desperate for answers, I don't wanna have to redo the whole process. Please help me.

So I am testing a fitted mesh custom avatar, and it was going well when I left the second life skeleton alone, but then I decided "what if I needed to adjust the bone structure slightly, what would that do?" and I could have sworn I heard that it might be possible since people talk about giant and small avatars which I assume are custom avatar bone structures? Basically the avatar looks like below, and a posed version of it in blender: (just to note, when I export it to a .dae I select the option so it works for second life, and I make sure to select both the mesh and the armature so it exports both) I was testing both major deformations and slight deformations, (the left leg was an anthro/furry wolf leg structure type, the right arm is to test what it will do with the slight deformation of the bone, and the left arm is to test if I made a major bone alteration the arm and bones are scaled to be 1.5 times longer). When importing, it looks like this in the importer, which is how it's supposed to look. so the arm looks like it will work, and I select "keep joint positions", and both "include skin weight"s, and the idle animation seems to work perfectly fine in the preview, but then when I import it and apply it to my avatar it looks as such (I'll post it with and without my avatar under it, so you can see that it's shoved the bones back up the arm, and on the image where it's edited with red lines, I've tried to outline the areas where it's obvious the lower arm was shoved back up the arm) (edit: the last one is a new screencap that shows how it's just slapping the bones back to normal positions, since on the avatar's left arm it's just forcing them back) and at this point I'm a bit lost on what to do, since the preview works but then in-game it shoves the bones back up. (the only reason the hand is longer than my avatar's is because it was scaled, but it's still nowhere near the length it should be) Any ideas or thoughts?
