FAQ
Do you provide the 3D model, or do I need to bring my own?
My Standard and Basic packages require you to provide the 3D model, while my Premium package handles customization from reference images.
Will the avatar be compatible with standard Second Life animations?
Yes, because I rig directly to the official Second Life Bento skeletal framework, it will automatically support standard in-world animations, AOs, and facial HUDs
What file formats do you deliver?
I deliver a perfectly formatted .dae (Collada) file optimized for direct in-world upload, along with the source .blend file.
Can you rig custom mesh clothing to specific body brands like Maitreya or Legacy?
Yes, I can precisely rig and weight-paint custom clothing or accessories to perfectly fit any major Second Life mesh body mesh.
How do you keep the Land Impact (LI) low?
I optimize the 3D mesh through manual retopology to reduce excess polygons and construct custom LOD (Level of Detail) models.
Do you use Avastar for your Blender bento rigging?
Yes, I utilize Blender along with the industry-standard Avastar plugin to ensure 100% accurate bone translations and weight distributions.
Can you fix a mesh avatar that stretches or glitches when moving?
Absolutely, you can order my Basic package to have me troubleshoot and repair poor weight painting or broken rigging joints.
Do you offer full permissions on the delivered assets?
Yes, once uploaded by you, the model is entirely yours to use, distribute, or sell commercially on the Second Life Marketplace.
Can you create custom Bento facial expressions or shapes?
Yes, by mapping the mesh face to the Bento facial bones, your avatar will be fully capable of complex custom expressions and blinking.
What should I do if my mesh fails to upload in-world?
I offer post-delivery support; if you encounter an upload error, contact me immediately and I will adjust the file layout for you free of charge
