Hello! I'm trying to rig a bento hand for avatar, but every time unsuccessfully. Can someone give a link to a good non - Avastar tutorial or explain in your own words what I'm doing wrong? here is the process i use: -- downloaded bento workbench from this site. -- opened in a blender. -- I create an object (hand). -- I place the object and the skeleton on one layer. -- I select object, then a skeleton. -- I hit control + P. -- I choose the Armature deform -- With automatic weights. -- I check if it works in a Pose Mode. -- I export in a collada format with object and skeleton both selected. -- These are the settings I set when exporting. -- When uploading a model, this is the screen (weights and joints are not displayed). that's all. I do not use Avastar, because I am not familiar with it. can this be done without it? what am I doing wrong? With a regular skeleton rig, everything works out perfectly, the process is the same. How is bento different from normal besides more bones? And do i need to delete unused bones? Please, help!

After an incident last night I thought this could be a fun thread for giggles. So basically share your most embarrassing SL Moment. I'll go first I was setting up a display in the entrance to the store last night for a new release which happens to have RLV. My collar is pretty much locked tight as far as I thought but I was semi afk. A 2 week oldresident appeared and I was ignoring the instant IM about what he wanted. I am sure you can guess, he wasn't asking for information on products ?. So I was half ignoring SL thinking GO AWAY and was browsing the forums when the viewer flashed. I look back and see "Cindy Evanier was captured!" I am locked to the bed and the noob is now naked. SAFEWORD SCREAMING I consider explaining his mistake but instead just decided to eject him. I typo the safeword the first time in a panic. I was confused how he had been able to capture me and start going through my collar menu triple checking all my settings and can presume that because I owned the bed demo, it was trusted. While I was doing that and distracted, he came back and did it AGAIN! So he found himself teleported home again, naked and standing to attention. I woke up this morning with it on my mind lol and decided to share it with you guys. NEXT....
