(The problem > exiss for LL Second Life and for OpenSim) In some of the online docs, it would seem that a specific # of bones and bone names have to be used. Somewhat surprising, as I had thought that any mesh with any armature should naturally be importable (i.e., if you wanted to build a robot arm with 3 bones) into the viewer. > > I used Linden Lab Viewer 3 to upload DAE files in OpenSim and to view them; > there is also a mesh release of the Cool Viewer but I can only see the mesh > items but I cannot upload them. Here is another oddity:
in the most recent version of Blender 2.59, if you import LL's supplied simplebot.dae file, there is no armature - it isn't there, only a mesh. If you try in Blender 2.49b (which according to the simplebot.dae header was used for export using Collada 1.4.0), I couldn't locate the armature in there either although I confess to perhaps not fully knowing the interface---the gui for Blender has changed dramatically since 2.49. Anyway, I agree that this seems not to be an opensim issue so maybe we can take it offline to see if we can investigate further to figure out what is, and is not, possible. I was thinking that a basic solution to the Evolver avatar problem was to import the armature (from simplebot which is known to import into the viewer) and then parent this bone structure to the Evolver mesh. That would be great if only the armature could be obtained in Blender... -p > > GCI > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Paul Fishwick > Sent: Friday, October 07, 2011 5:36 PM > Subject: Re: [Opensim-users] [Opensim-dev] Upload Collada Meshes to > OpenSim0.7.1.1 > > > There are some quirks, though. > Basic mesh and texture seem to work fine, but I have found difficulty in > getting > armatures working for Autodesk's evolver product - it is likely a problem > in the > specific hierarchy layout required by the SL viewer. > > > _______________________________________________ > Opensim-users mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/opensim-users
