We talked about this in the live dev meeting recently, should be easy enough so hopefully we get it done soonish. I'm afraid it will take a while though, like 1-2 months, there are so many things to do that are perhaps more critical. Unless someone out there wants to take the challenge. You can already use the editor in Naali releases to make avatars for Tundra usage, though, as it has the feature to save the av xml to a local file. That file you can then just use as a normal asset for AVs in Tundra, e.g. put the xml to some web server. The demo we've been working on (and which should be getting announced today or so afaik :) should get an avatar selector, so when new users log in anonymously they can select an AV from a few options. That's not there yet, I hope to get it done soon like in 1-2 weeks. I guess you want it as an end user tool, so that users of your service could easily modify the looks? That needs some refactoring in the code, as the avatar module is now actually a part of the rexlogicmodule which implements the LLUDP protocol against SL/Opensim and is not used with Tundra. Should be simple to make it a server agnostic avatar editor 'cause the av appearance is just that one xml file. BTW: there is a new set of creative commons avatars from Boris's Avatar project last year, to be used as new rex default AVs (bye bye Jack?). I guess he is somehow publishing them soon, but here's the info anyway. They are using a set of motion-captured animations. These ones have the clothes painted in the texture -- the ones coming to the demo are different, use clothes as attachments like Jack and Kate have done (I understood that the ones for that demo are made with Evolver?). These ones that Boris made are made using MakeHuman, and we've been planning a new av project to integrate MH to rex somehow. ---begin--- From: Boris Ramonguilhem <[email protected]> Subject: last release of the 4 avatars, ready for duty December 21, 2010 2:21:19 PM GMT+02:00 Hi!
