It's really worth watching the Youtube video: Seriously.Įssentially what this Addon does is, using heuristic and fancy calculation tricks, it densly turns/scales/packs your unwrapped Blender UV into an arrangement that makes the most of the available texture space. I want to shove this Addon down the throats of many SL Content Creators.
Great little tool, but not available for 2.8. Or "Yet Another Vertex Normal Editor", Y.A.V.N.E is a tool to quickly smoothen and fix the normals of a mesh surface You can best see the results of the tool by checking the title link, but if you've ever wondered how to fix a seemingly uneven surface (lighting-wise) despite the geometry being perfectly smooth? This is the tool for you. If you are an SL content creator, and have a really high poly mesh for SL.please, work it through something like Retopoflow first >:|
I highly recommend watching this Youtube video to see it in action - it's impressive: It has many features, from symmetry settings, to quick-stroke tools that allow you to quickly retopo around a shape, to many fine tuning and control tools. The way it works is, Retopoflow lets you paint stripes of quads over an existing high-poly model, creating a low poly model using this neat method. the conversion of a high poly mesh into a low poly variant to make things Game/SL-ready. Retopoflow is an awesome Addon for dreaded retopology work in Blender - i.e. It fixes several bugs/quirks with the DAE Import from Blender into SL, has a ton of special SL-related rigging and posing tools (including SL appearance sliders for the Avastar rig), includes extended Bento rigs, and all in all is almost a must have convenience tool if you plan to do anything SL-Avatar related in Blender.Ī version for Blender 2.8 is in the works, but sadly not available yet.įree: Yes! (Though you can aid the development by buying it here for a high price. It is a Blender Addon that is specifically tailored for SL Content creation, namely: Rigged meshes, Avatars, and SL Poses + Animations. Most SL Content Creators probably heard of Avastar Promptly inspired by the Blender News thread, I've figured it might be a good idea to collect a showcase of great and neat Blender Addons, no matter if free or for purchase.
