Loading mesh in Second Life or Opensim from Blender
Seems no i really knowss how to go Mesh to load in SL or Opensim. Here is what I exercise.
Blender (2.79) script to set up bad mesh.
The second matter to do is to count the number of prims in your blender file. You lot can read this right from the top of the screen.
Create that many cube prims and save them as a seprate DAE. Usse that as a physics model. Go to the physsics tab in your viewer, and change the physics blazon to "From file". Load the cube model.
Animesh!
You lot may have heard of animesh: Here is a link to the main folio: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Animesh_User_Guide
Animesh actually is different - you can link prims and mesh to animesh, or attach an animesh to your avatar. My latest instance in the free Hobbiton region is a cart ridden by Gandalf, with an animesh pony linked to it. Below is a animesh man waiting for a NPC to take his order. He is non sitting there on a poseball like an NPC would. He is literally a prim I moved into identify. I can adhere him to me, position him at my side when I sit, and he would animate the same no matter where I was.
Now think about the Bento skeleton. Bento is human being, merely also much like an eight legged octopus. If you showtime at the pelvis, and spread the bones out, you take ii legs and tail bones (3), two arms and a neck/head/skull sets (6), two wings and two hind legs (10). That is 10 radiating sets of basic you can weight paint into anything made of mesh, so upload information technology. An 8-legged octopus is possible, - and you still have the head bones for his head, and the face bones are at that place , plus optics and one arm or leg set to animate the beak underneath!
Imagine the possibilities of something you attach to your avatar. No, not an octopus, though it is easily washed, just right click and habiliment it on some office of your torso. Shoulder pets obviously come to mind. Only how nearly a bird that is sitting on your shoulder, that flies off and around and lands? 100% client-side, no physics. What about dresses with long trains that flow and curve left or right behind you lot if the command keys for walk and turn are pressed? Only a simple script that plays different blitheness as yous walk and turn. At present imagine hair that flows like real hair in the wind, without flexible prims. It is fake physics, just it can be washed - it is limited only past your imagination!
A costless cross-grid database for LSL
A simple to use, defended, shareable database for all to apply to save and persist data across scripts, regions, and grids. The URL is at http://outworldz.appspot.com/ where y'all will find the basic instructions. You apply LSL to fetch a web folio with a 'store' field, and information technology will salvage a name and a value. Here is an instance to save the primal AnimalName = bunny.
http://outworldz.appspot.com/shop?service=2b307c02-2133-4dba-bcc5-3d8f7db53eee&keyfield=AnimalName&datafield=bunny
To get back the AnimalName, you change the directive to 'load' and ask for AnimalName: http://outworldz.appspot.com/load?service=2b307c02-2133-4dba-bcc5-3d8f7db53eee&keyfield=AnimalName
The 'service' is any UUID. These can be used for security, or to place a grid, region, person, prim, a project or whatsoever. If this UUID is set to the llGetOwner(), the then data would be stored where prims owned past that avatar can easily get it back.

Introducing Ruth ii.0 - a free high quality mesh female avatar
Ruth 2.0 is a scratch-built, open up-source, Opensim/Second Life compatible mesh avatar designed past Shin Ingen. She includes Blender (.blend) files, DAE exports, template textures, skins, and somewhen will include scripts and HUD. The goal of Ruth 2.0 is to make a high quality, 100% free mesh avatar that can utilise accessories from Maitreya and other quality mesh products.
Ruth is available now on Github.
Help Needed
This is a new projection and is even so under development. Delight volunteer to help! Email me, or utilise git and ship a pull asking. Collaborators can assistance in many areas. These range from general advice on what is needed, bug chasing, weight painting, skins, mesh making, scripting, and and so on. As merely one example, if you know Gimp, or Photoshop, we demand aid converting these many free skins into PNG textures, and so into in-world skins that are ready to vesture. In globe conferences are needed, too. to help spread the knowledge included in here into new products.
License
Ruth ii.0 is AGPL listed, which ways she must e'er be gratis and you lot must pass that freedom on to others. This does not prohibit you making and selling clothing, skins, accessories, hair and other parts for her.
3D Paint for Free
The Windows 10 Creators Edition has a lot of useful free 3D content in the new 3D paint program. 3D in Windows x is an like shooting fish in a barrel-to-employ paint program for 3D objects and people like me who take no painting skills. I usually employ Substance Painter which requires just technical skills. This is an all-new Paint 3D plan and a large online repository like SketchFab that allows you to create or modify 3D objects, easily change color or texture, or turn 2D images into 3D works of art.
It works a lot like Archipelis - a plan I used for many years to take second pictures and turn them into 3D sculpts. This program also supports importing of 3D objects and adding paint to them.
This steampunk gramophone is 7,931 vertexes and looks swell. The simply processing I had to do was to export is as FBX, Import the FBX to Blender, and remove the doubles.

Danger! Caution!
Danger! Caution! This sim OAR is dangerous! And it should be fun, likewise, as I threw in some funny mooFerd cows and overly friendly sheep. :-)
Danger! is a simple game of "Do Non Die". It's also "No Fly" - then no adulterous! It'southward full of deadly stuff that teleports you dorsum a pace. Try not to fight with the skeletons of those who already dared to try the swamps, deserts, and ghostly areas. If you lot can brand it past the first iv levels, it sends you to more levels at the Outworldz "Yo Fankie" sim where you tin can try to accomplish the lighthouse to fire away the fog and become out. Or maybe ride in the cow races. Whatever, nosotros won't tell anyone you got lost, you loser.
Information technology'due south available now in the Outworldz "Dreamworld" download menu at http://outworldz.com/Outworldz_installer/
Information technology'due south all CC-BY-NC-SA and CC_BY content, and so feel gratuitous to play with the mesh bits so long as y'all pass the credits onward. Danger! is complimentary to play, complimentary to mod and a good place to die.

Virunga Mountains
Jessie Campbell wrote a very fine piece in Visionz magazine on our 9-sim Virunga Mountain simulation honoring Dian Fossey and Roz Carr. We waited years for Opensim to be get the engineering working well plenty to run it, and it took two more years to make information technology.
Tinkers Flying Lesson
I've looked everywhere for open source Blender scenes that are suitable for learning animating and mesh modelling that is likewise conmpatible with with Opensim or Second Life. Zip. None. And so I made 1 for y'all to play with, and tendered a brusk video for you. This video shows some NPC players and avatars for Opensim and Second life. These are all free (or will exist soon) Opensim-compatible avatars.
Yous can practise this too, as the software I used to brand this, and all the mesh models are free!
Jewels!
I have tried very hard to make diamonds wait their all-time on Rapunzel's crown, but we accept no reflections and so they look slow and lifeless. The solution: a GIF and a one-line script!

Mixamo Blitheness Conversion to OpenSim and 2nd Life
There are many available animations in the CMU library and at web sites such as Mixamo by Adobe. You lot can convert those BVH animations to Second Life or Opensimulator format with Blender and the Avastar plugin by Machinamatrix. I wrote upwardly a sequence that you tin can utilise if you know a scrap of Blender, and have the Avastar plug in.
How to brand better Random Numbers
Sometimes when you are programming yous need "something" to happen randomly. Such as when shooting a gun at another player: you want it to not always hitting and do it randomly. Possibly yous desire to have a physical affair happen, like a ball to fall onto a spot, but y'all don't want it to hit the same spot every fourth dimension. There are lots of physical things that need some randomness. Flight of a bird, the waves that stone a gunkhole, the aim of a gun; these things need a mode to summate the center around some value and then fluctuate randomly, such every bit in this chart:
We need a Better Random Number Generator!
Phaze Dragons is ONLINE!
Come wing our super dragons in Opensim - Gratis - No other virtual globe has anything like this! Exclusively in the Outworldz at https://www.outworldz.com:9000
This is a shortie from a battle in the Outworlds, recorded In the best Flash Gordon musical and film traditions (i.eastward., cheesy). You tin tell that I suck at filming, flying, and flaming while chewing gum at the same fourth dimension, and then I blame my being shot into the sea by a daughter on my running out of chimera gum. I particularly dear that Adam Ivie and his unique light-green dragon got flamed and dunked on several occasions, especially since he always broiled, crunched, toasted, and snacked on me whenever we tried out his really fantastic addition of the flames and fire.

Make a Non Player Character walk on the ceiling ( or anything else move, hands)
This is a nifty script for moving a prim when sat on -It as well may prove useful for anyone that needs a way to get NPCs to do other incommunicable-looking things. It includes a unproblematic-to-utilise road recorder system. I accept used this blazon of script for years, for tours and magic carpets, airplanes and cars, romantic swan rides for valentines twenty-four hours, for bird rides, and even a hummingbird. This one is Opensim compatible, and relatively low lag, as information technology uses llKeyFrameMotion() , which is mostly functional in Opensim. In SL this would be simpler, with at_target instead of a timer, only well, you know... bugs. I've even used it as a teleport pad hanging off the edge of a sci-fi area - when you click the pad, yous stand on it, the pad moves smoothly around in the sky, and unsits you at a destination.
EASY NPC!
Information technology can use Aine Caoimhe'south super-useful NPC poseball scripts to brand a NPC appear to walk anywhere.
You can get it here at the free script library!
OTHER USES
You can use the All-in-I to walk a NPC to information technology, and then sit a NPC on it. Information technology can accept a crazy-upside down route, similar inside that crawly Escher firm, the All-In One tin unsit them, and the NPC can carry on nether All-In-I control to the next spot. It as well tin loop continually, which would be perfect for an Escher house. In the GIF above with my troll, I used non-loop manner, and recorded a pair of recorder boxes at each corner of a square. One touch of the base and information technology records the route. and then only sit on it. It unsits at the cease in non-loop fashion. I just ready it to sit-on-click - you lot can come across my cursor.
ALL-IN-I
To make a NPC sit on it and walk weird, record a route by following the instructions. So issue the following commands to the All-In-One NPC recorder:
@walk=<x,y,z>(get about the invisible prim)
@sit=NameOfPrim (sit down on information technology)
@intermission=30 (or nonetheless long your route takes)
...
The route prim has a walk animation built in. It will walk your NPC upside downwardly, sideways, even so its been recorded and and then unsit the NPC.
Breedable Flowers in an IAR
Breedable Flowers in an IAR - but starting time, and relevant then please deport with me ... I just received some other snapshot of a paw-built "breedable robot" living in yet another virtual world, by Grigio Horan. Breadable pets accept been around ever since Xundra Snowpaw invented them in 2009 or so. This pet is based on her work.
Information technology took a few emails dorsum and forth with Grigio to get the arms waving, only Grigio solved it and information technology'southward working now. He did information technology all - and via Google Translate, too, equally Grigio is pure Italian. Xs Pets are not so unproblematic to brand - and I know from studying his emails how very hard it is when you don't speak English.
And then pics or it didn't happen - ..and then I just got this pic - and then Congratulazioni, Grigio !
So why is this relevant? Xundra Snowpaw has surfaced again and she has breedable flowers! Xundra killed her SL avatar and disappeared 5 years ago afterward releasing the XS Pet code which is the code I've modified into this more univeral robot-and-other pet code. She released the original source lawmaking under the MIT license dorsum in 2010. It took me 3 months of hard work back then just to figure out wtf she had washed. OOooohhh catchy... and now at that place are a lot of new plug-ins and features and the lawmaking has been ported to the various flavors of Opensim as well every bit Secondlife.
And then I but searched for her and found out that *she has breedable flowers in an IAR* I take to attempt these!

More Updates to the Seamless Texture Library!
Free Mesh Avails from Blender.org
Blender.org ofttimes sponsors Open Movies and Open Games and (so far) i game, then releases the content with the very permissive Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License. many of you already know that I've used their assets to make a mini-game in Opensim, based roughly on their Yo Frankie! game in the Blender Game Engine. This zip file includes several of their wonderful characters, such as the ram, sheep, and Momo the monkey which are now SecondLife/Opensim boned avatars. if you desire to play my version, find your manner via the hypergrid to www.outworldz.com:9000:Frankie and start stomping acorns!
All the assets ported from Yo Frankie to Second Life/Opensim formats are bachelor individually or in a zip file (440 MB). The original files are also available from YoFrankie.org.All files are Copyright Blender.org
Gratis Online Normal Mapper
Second Life and Opensim both back up Normal Maps, which lets you create particular in simple 3D models without adding geometry, which makes the viewer testify 3D content without using up precious cycles rendering all those details. Creating them normally requires $$$ tools like Photoshop, Crazy Bump (which I use extensively), or Blender.
But now you can make useful normal maps for many repetitive substances such as rocks, brickwork and other textures online thank you to Ptry Christian at http://cpetry.github.io/NormalMap-Online/
Just drag a texture onto the left window and then fifddle with it until it looks skillful.
The above column texture looks like this in earth:
Costless 3D painter
A tip from De Asanta led me to this simple and free 3D painter program. It's not fancy and Windows 7 or 8 users may need to install it past right-clicking and selecting Run As Administrator, but you tin can certainly paint in 3D with it on 3DS, LWO, or OBJ files. You can convert to and from DAE with the free Meshlab.
Oprah shouts Terrains! Everybody gets a free Terrain!
Magnuz Binder of Metropolis Grid reports that there are now 1645 Creative Eatables-Aught (free) terrains available to look at and use from the Metropolis grid. They are besides available online or past clicking this moving-picture show. Sizes range from singles up to behemothic Var regions of 25 sims, or more, and anyone with a photograph editor can resize these upward to really giant sim sizes.
Phaze Demesnes is Airtight
We closed the sim Phaze Demesnes on December 27, 2014. Information technology was a wonderful six years. Phaze was well-nigh a half-robot, half-homo who brutal in dear with a magical girl that also could turn into a hummingbird. Nosotros will miss Phaze, forever.
Hither are a few of the things Debbie Edwards and I learned from running the sim.

When y'all brand one, please send a movie and I'll postal service a gallery of them.
Blender tips for Opensim and Second Life
My workflow/checklist when using Blender in 2nd Life and Opensim.
There are a lot of nice tutorials on Blender, and they cover everything you need except all the necessary steps to make a model for 2nd Life and OpenSim. Things like removing doubles, back-face alternative, and how to convert models from curves and surfaces to mesh are missing.
I hope this checklist is useful for those who have gotten bitten by the Blender bug.
Transmogrify!
Desire to transmogrify? Plough into a bat, a bird, or a dragon when you lot fly? Accept yous e'er wanted to be a kid, like CaCalvin, and invent a transmogrifier? The transmogrifier is an invention of Calvin'due south that would turn one affair into another. It looks like a large cardboard box, which we take plenty of in OpenSim. This like shooting fish in a barrel-to-make Transmogrifier will switch you into an animal when you wing and back once again to your usual aberrant self when you state.
This is a simple project to make, requires very little scripting cognition, and works in OpenSim, just information technology will not work in every case because it uses invisprims. Results are going to be just like when Calvin does transmogrify: erratic.
Non-Player Characters (NPC) in Opensim
I've collected a bunch of scripts for creating and working with non-player-characters (NPC's) in OpenSim.
The newest one I wrote to make it easy for anyone to play with NPC'due south. It is a Recorder for utilize as a NPC Puppeteer script.
It'due south a lot of fun to take tigers and elephants roaming around!

Free Avatars
I've published a group of free mesh avatars for you to make. They range from very simple to very circuitous. Many more coming soon.
Flash Scratch for Second Life and OpenSim
There is a new version (0.viii) of Scratch for Second Life with many more commands, and it is even simpler to utilize for scripting for OpenSim and Second Life. Information technology is called Flash Scratch-to-Linden-Script Language, (FS2LSL), and it entirely web-based. FS2LSLwas made past a whole bunch of brilliant people. The version I am using came from John K. Bennett, Director of the ATLAS Constitute at the Academy of Colorado at Boulder,( and many others) where he and his students have produced dozens of useful scripts that match the excellent book Scripting Your World: The Official Guide to 2nd Life Scripting, past Dana Moore, Michael Thome, Karen Haigh. I must totally agree with him, this is by far the best book on LSL scripting.
Hither is a simple Seat Positioner in FS2LSL:
FS2LSL now supports dozens of useful and piece of cake to apply script blocks, and the files can be loaded and saved to disk.
- OpenSim or Second Life syntax
- No download needed - web based
- Elevate and drop "Scratch-like" interface
- Lots of Events, Sensors, Listeners, Control blocks and Motion cake
- Compatible with all my prim animators
For case, if you want to trigger a Pim Animation named "msg" using my free Prim Compiler, merely use this block with the animation name and the number i:

Navigate to the "SecondLife" folder (or "Firestorm" or any other viewer proper noun), then navigate to your avatars' name. Locate the file proper name "Last_screen.bmp", and correct click it.
Now select "Send to", then "Desktop (Create shortcut)" as shown here. Click for a larger image.
When yous log in and come across a nifty "final film", before yous log out, just go to the desktop, click the new shortcut, and the motion-picture show volition open whatever app you have associated with BMP files, gear up to save information technology in a new folder.

Make an animated mesh frog chase and eat a problems - Best Second Life tools
OpenSim and Second Life have many wonderful artists who tin sculpt and build wonderful items. Everywhere I go I see great looking animals and objects. But those objects are merely sitting there! Maybe they movement a head or blink and center, but that's most all I come across. It makes information technology far more than dramatic when your critters move and showroom creature-like beliefs. In that location seems to exist a lack of knowledge or skill on how to do elementary movements, perhaps considering people do non know how to script, or if they do, what tricks you lot tin can use to do these furnishings with.
Pets can move about using several techniques, such as prim movement, llMoveTo physics, as vehicles using physics, and with the several new path finding commands. OpenSim has a variety of poorly behaving physics engines, and I desire to keep this uncomplicated. In honor of the people who institute a new species of leopard frog in New York, I made a mesh frog and a moving issues for it to eat and a prepare of scripts to animate them This commodity volition show you lot how to do basic brute behavior and movements effects using the simplest possible method of prim movement:
- Movement within a bounding surface area
- Pursuit of prey
- Eating beliefs
- Walking effects
- Casualty movement
- Casualty being eaten
- Prims: 6 for the frog, 2 for the bug
You tin can make this pet easily and modify it for your own uses. This is licensed and then you cannot sell this frog, only y'all are gratis to make and sell whatever products that are based on this products scripts using these techniques.
I rate this as a elementary project that anyone can build. You practise not need any knowledge of making scripts, sculpts, or meshes, except how to add together them to a prim. I am including some all-encompassing notes on how you can make your own bugs and pets using my techniques, but you can skip these steps.
OpenSim users: Because this project is based on mesh, it requires OpenSim version 0.7.2 or college

Best Sculpt Map templates for Second Life
Using sculpt templates was the only way to paint in 3-D for a long time. I finally decided to pay for Photoshop CS5 then I could paint directly in iii-D, and I figured that was the stop of need for the sculpt map. However, I realized simply at present that I still employ these sculpt maps every day, to cheque for alignment of meshes and mapping the textures in dissimilar ways.
I was just making a new mesh foot for my horse. I thought I was done, and information technology seems to await practiced when textured, but the UV map said otherwise.
I had bug with the hooves. The prim on the left has problems in the B2-B3 area, and the prim on the right has been fixed. The fix dropped 20 vertexes and 57 surfaces from the ane on the right, which reduces lag and makes it look better at the aforementioned time.
So hither are 3 sculpt maps including the 1 I utilize most frequently, from the Second Life® Wiki, Copyright © 2007-2009 Linden Research, Inc. which are licensed under the Creative Eatables Attribution-Share Alike three.0 License.

Brand a Bee fly to flowers and gather dear in Second Life
It'south time to give away a bunch of my work once more. I've always loved birds and bees and I love to make things that are unusual and unique. This bee was inspired by this sign I saw at the Texas Land fair.
I'll show yous how to make a v-prim bee that gather beloved from one-prim flowers, and takes information technology back to a 1-prim beehive. I'm giving away some difficult work here! The wing sculpt lonely took me weeks to figure out. Since I wanted this to work in OpenSim, too, I had to come up with a function to replace the (broken) llLookat() arrangement telephone call.
This projection includes several neat tricks I've learned and will teach you:
i) It uses non-physical move, so it is very low lag. Except for a small burst of script activity every 5 seconds, this script uses few resources.
2) It works in OpenSim thank you to a nifty replacement for llLookAt(). If you are a scripter, you will beloved the function face_target().
two) This bee uses a very fast wing-movement effect that has no server-side lag at all, even for very loftier wing rates. This is the same trick I have used in my freebie butterflies, fairies and hummingbird projects, and now you lot volition know how the trick works. There is a template included so y'all can brand your own wings. I've never seen it published before. This is a zero-lag effect.
