I might be doing something wrong, but I hope you can help me out – when I use the mirror bone weight copy tool, the weightpainting stays at the opposite bone and the bone I want to copy to is left empty on its side, which means that the weights sit on the opposite side and moves with the wrong bone…

First off Thank you so much for the videos ! it really helps alot. I do want to let first timers know that if you can not do the exact steps like Gaia does when it comes to getting the stick bones and the mesh to show together and just being able to click on the bones to weight (about 6 mins into the video or so) As I had problems with you MIGHT have Face Selection or Vertice Selection on it’s the buttons to the right of the mode drop down menu which should say Weight Paint if you have fowllowed along correctly.

I found that was my problem but with both buttons off I am able to select bones and see my mesh and go into Local View.
I am not sure if these are on by default or if I had turned them on a some point and then forgot I did.

P.S. I love the new tools !

Thank you so much for the new weight copy features! This looks awesome and will surely speed up my workflow.

I just want to make a note here that the Deformer Project is still in development, it’s not released, and not finalized. Anything you make should not be offered for sale or otherwise distributed as it could become broken by a future revision of the deformer, until such a time as the deformer project is released. For experimentation only!

I found a workaround for the “As soon as you try to change your shape it will loose some of its bones” issue on older Avastars. If you reload in your XML file for the shape (or an XML for a different shape), then you can change the shape sliders with no issue.

Hello Gaia

Is there a tutorial video for Blender 2.64 showing creating Sculpts for Second Life also making the Texture Maps using materials and Textures then baking the Sculpt Maps and the Texture Maps

When you bake your sculptie and the image in the UV editor says black just do this:

Press view Then properties(N) from the menu in UV Editor.
A Grease Pencil Panel will pop up scroll down a little bit until you see source change the drop down from Generated to single image.

Then go to Render on the top menu and bake again you should then get the proper RGB map image.

Another way is to bake the sculptie before open the UV Editor when you then open the UV Editor the RGB image map should be there in full color.

You also didn’t mention the Shape sliders now more accurately match the SL sliders as compared to previous releases.

I hadn’t noticed it in past releases. I’ll load up some things I’ve done as well as try some new work. In particular I want to try retargeting. I have yet to see that work and if your going to RC it could use some testing.

All that is affected is an inconvenient roll value on FootLeft bone, shouldn’t affect animation. The cause is asymmetric bone locations in LL’s avatar_skeleton.xml file.

This problem has only been detected a few weeks ago. Since we didn’t change anything here, it either has been in Avastar all the time, or the SL skeleton has this problem since Second Life exists and we only happened to have found it recently. Actually the problem even could be an issue with Blender 2.64

However, if you did not see this as a problem in your previous animations, it will most probably not be an issue in this update as well. But please feel free to wait for the next update, which is planned to become our Release Candidate for Avastar 1.0

Is this really right? I can’t use an animation package to animate the left foot? I’m really not sure now whether to apply the update. There are some nice changes in this release but I use Avastar primarily for making animations (sometimes I think I’m alone in that). Is it really the case that I can’t animate the left foot or is something more subtle implied here that I’m missing because if it is true that’s a pretty big bug.

Actually re-tested with imported obj model file and 636 and 639 work correctly. Must have been the dae model I used. All is good!

In 432 – Parent to Armature was checked and then you click Bake to T Pose.

In 636 – Parent to Armature is a separate button above Bake to T pose button.

Based on 432 I assume I would click Parent to Armature then click Back to T Pose.

One thing I noticed – after I click copy weights and click Parent to Armature – the mesh and avastar seem to shift/move – no longer aligned.

(Using Blender 263) I upgraded from Avastar 432 to 636. Can you explain the workflow differences. In 432 I would select the mesh and avastar then copy weights. Lastly – click Bake to T-Pose. Export to SL and upload to SL with the weight and joint options available in the SL importer.

In 636 some functions seem to have been modified – I’m not sure how to export to SL with weights correctly. I can’t seem to export with the weight/joint data. I select both the mesh and avastar – click copy weights. Then I see rigging with Parent to Armature or Bake to T Pose.
I tried each one and them both. I then export to SL but don’t have any weight data – cant check weights or joints in the SL importer.

What is the correct way to export to SL with all weight/joint data in 636?

Thanks
