Getting my shape into blender :)
Hi 
I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum, this may have belonged in General but I'm not sure. So yeah, sorry if it is
Anyway, I was wondering if there is a way I can import my shape into blender? I noticed the avatar.blend file, but I'm assuming that's gone now because when I open it a page of random symbols opens, haha!
But yeah, if there is any way it'd be really helpful to know! Thanks

Hey there, it's probably your web-browser the avatar.blend link is working.
Avatar created by Domino Marama is a neat feature, it's rigged and you can use shape keys to get a male or female shape, thinner or fatten, etc, going to Object Mode > Editing (F9) > Shapes. (you have to select a mesh part i.e. upperBodyMesh or lowerBodyMesh).
If you want something simpler you can use a 3rd party SL viewer (i.e: phoenix viewer, I think imprudence viewer provides a similar feature) to export your avatar shape generally as .obj and then import the .obj file to blender.
Thanks again :)
Ohh okay, I will try on another browser then, thanks!
(I always forget the CAPTCHA, so I can edit my posts LOL)
It worked in Chrome! ty again
tried
I also tried saving the .objs, from phoenix, but I can't seem to get them to open in blender!
Sorry for all the messages!
I discovered that it was the file name stopping me from importing them! They work fine now, tyvm!
Avastar
My next project after Primstar 2 is going to be Avastar. That'll give full avatar shape editing in Blender 2.5x
Until then, the viewers that let you export your shape as an obj file are the best option.
Avastar sounds great.
I gave up doing something like avastar myself. I'll leave the thankless rewardless task to you.
BTW: I almost gave up trying to donate 20 USD. Conversion rates are annoying. If you could clean up the donation process for us stupid Americans you might get more donations. Just a thought.
even in blender 2.58
Very nice, avatar.blend appended, works even in Blender 2.58.1
