#BLENDER AVASTAR BENTO RIGGING INSTALL#

Then I’ll use what I learn to do the Default Bento Female for the next Ruth release. What I want is a replica of the Default Bento Male in Blender 2.8x, so I can use it to rig the next release of Roth, and get it exported from Blender 2.8x and into an opensimulator grid without tears.

Now that I rather painfully figured out how collision bones export from Blender so that they almost work inworld, it’s time to tackle the mBones.

While this is not wrong, we loose important information that is later needed for exporting the Collision Volumes with the correct bind pose information. Then it sets the scale and rotation of all bones to neutral (scale 1, rotation 0).

It bakes all Bone scales and rotations into the Skeleton. Technician: The Blender Collada importer makes a shortcut. Importing Developer Kits with Fitted Mesh needs Blender 2.79++Īrtist: Please Update to Blender 2.79 or newer. You best avoid the scaling of animations in first place. Note:The Sparkles Toolset contains an Animation scale tool. This can lead to major distortions of your animations. The translation part of your animations is not affected. When you apply scale & rotation then only your mesh scales/rotations are normalized. Technician:The main problem is with Translation animations. However, when you apply scale and rotation after you created your animations then you can end up in distorted animations. Apply Scale & Rotation before animatingĪrtist: While Blender supports animating your character even when the armature and the meshes are scaled and rotated in Object mode, you always have to export the meshes with scale and rotation applied. However those scalings and rotations sum up over time, especially when you use parentt – child relationship between differently scaled objects you can end up in a desaster. Techinician: Blender allows to scale and rotate your meshes as you like, in object mode, in edit mode, everywhere. Remind: Having Scale and rotation applied is always the most safe way to go. Apply Scale & Rotation before bindingĪrtist: Always apply Scale and Rotation before you bind your meshes to an Avastar Rig, Note: This is often not necessary, however it helps to avoid unexpected fitting issues in SL. This affects all children of the affected child as well. When you modify the parenting, then the relative child bone locations are taken from the wrong parent and lead to unexpected relocation of the child bone. The parent-child relation in SL is fixed. Technician: All bone locations are stored relative to their parent bone. Otherwise your imported rig becomes very distorted and the bone locations get mangled into disorder. Never re-parent Bones (SL limitation)Īrtist: You must never modify the parent-child relation (parenting) of the blue SL Bones and the purple Bento Bones. So, please read this page carefully to avoid unexpected behavior of your creations. The listed limitations do not apply to Blender/Avastar, It is important that you know what you are allowed to do and what you have to strictly avoid. This page contains a list of limitations imposed by the SL character animation system and/or by Blender.
