== Basic workflow ==
=== Create your model===

====Some hints:====

# Take care to create low polygon meshes (as few verts as possible)
# Use no more than 8 face textures (8 materials assignments)
# Avoid intersecting faces (unless intersections are intended)
# Avoid duplicate vertices (unless you want to use the split modifier)
# Avoid creating more than 21844 tris per texture face
# Avoid creating extremely small polygons (< 0.1 cm edge length)
# Did i mention you should create low poly models only ? an avatar with > 10000 faces starts getting too heavy ...
# shoes with 30000 polygons per shoe have 20 times too much faces. really!!! Avoid that!
# The same is true for hair.
# Make low polygon meshes !!!

====LOD meshes (with Blender 2.49)====
# Make sure your blender file is saved
# Export your full-detail mesh to COLLADA
# Run Poly Reducer with a poly reduce setting of 0.5 (to reduce your polygon count by half).
#* If you make any manual changes to tweak the resulting mesh, remember to update the UV map to match.
# Export your mesh to COLLADA; this will be the "medium" level of detail.
# Reload your original full-detail mesh. It's good to start from the full-detail mesh each time to prevent errors from accumulating, though this may not be a significant concern for simple meshes such as attachments.
# Run Poly Reducer with a poly reduce setting of 0.25 (to reduce your polygon count by three quarters).
# Export your mesh to COLLADA; this will be your "low" level of detail.
# Reload your original full-detail mesh.
# Run Poly Reducer with a poly reduce setting of 0.125 (to reduce your polygon count by seven eighths).
# Export your mesh to COLLADA; this will be your "lowest" level of detail. You may also want to use this mesh when defining your model's physics.

Unfortunately the Poly Reducer script is currently only available for version 2.4x of Blender. The "Decimate" modifier is a serviceable substitute but the downside is that you'll need to redo the UV map for each LOD level.

According to:[http://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/14501/poly-reducer-issues-in-blender-2-71 "Poly Reducer issues in Blender 2.71" in blender stackexchange], The UV mapping issues have been solved in recent versions.

=== Export to COLLADA ===

=== Scale to meters ===
Scaling is somewhat arbitrary in Blender 2.49. In principle you just have to know how the mapping is between your 3D program (Blender) and the target environment (Second Life). Then all you need to do is to work in the correct scale. You even can later rescale your model in your target system.

So, what is the issue with Blender 2.49 ? It is all so simple that the Collada Exporter for Blender assumes that one Measurement Unit is mapped to one real life centimeter. But the common expectation in Second Life is that one Measurement Unit is mapped to 1 Second Life Meter. Unfortunately this missmatch very often leads to the import of "tiny objects". The common fix is to scale up the models in Blender 2.49 by a factor of 100.

But there is a nicer fix, which adjust the Collada Exporter to behave according to our expectations.
See this video to find out, how you can fix the Measurement missmatch between Blender-2.49b and Second Life once and for ever:

{{KBvideo|18354783|640|370|type=vimeo}}

If you don't want to watch the entire video:

find the file <blender script dir>\bpymodules\colladaImEx\translator.py and change these two lines:

daeAsset.unit.name = 'centimeter'
daeAsset.unit.meter = '0.01'

to

daeAsset.unit.name = 'meter'
daeAsset.unit.meter = '1.00'

To find the scripts directory, do Help > System Information in blender, and look in the text file for "Default dir for scripts:". The path for me is:
C:\Documents and Settings\tapple\Application Data\Blender Foundation\Blender\.blender\scripts
and thus the file is:
C:\Documents and Settings\tapple\Application Data\Blender Foundation\Blender\.blender\scripts\bpymodules\colladaImEx\translator.py

Note that this fix is not needed in Blender 2.5x.

MLPV2 Ball Script with more flexible parameters

2016-02-24T06:46:24Z

ErikoLeo Resident: Added the missing </source> tag, removed the </lsl> and </LSL> obsolete(?) ones. The whole script now displays correctly.

As I do think that [http://creativecommons.org/ Creative Commons] licenses do not apply well to code, I prefer to license code parts under [http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html gnu GPL 3.0+] (and further), which should be used in case of license misfit. Both licenses share the same will of making quality software publicly accessible, and defend "fair use". There are endless debates and conflicts about the two licenses, my opinion is that CC licenses apply where legal conflicts with Authors rights may arise: Any kind of graphic or plastic arts, writings, choregraphy ...(all of them are mostly data), GPL is best suited for software, I mean programs and algorithms that make a machine or a program perform a sequence of actions.
