| |
| Rigged models allow you to represent your avatar skeleton as a mesh that conforms to your joints and motions. This means that you can wear a rigged model that changes the length and orientation of your avatar's limbs and animates accordingly.
| |
| | |
| If your COLLADA model contains joint position and skin weight information, you can preview how it will look with an avatar's default idle animation by clicking the {{Icon_Gear|Gear Icon}} in the Upload Model window and checking '''Show skin weight'''.

| === Wearing a model with rigging ===
| |
| You may wear a rigged model by right-clicking it in your inventory and selecting '''Wear'''. You may often wish to pair a rigged model with an alpha mask to hide your avatar's normal shape.

| | |
| == Uploading ==
| |
| === Optional parameters ===
| |
| Before you upload, make sure to include any necessary optional parameters on the '''Modifiers''' tab:
| |
| | |
| * '''Scale:''' Changes the base size of your model. Increasing the scale increases the resource cost.
| |
| * '''Include Textures:''' Includes any textures applied to the COLLADA model. The textures are automatically applied to the Second Life version of the model when it is uploaded.
| |
| * '''Include Skin weight:''' Includes any skin weight information in the COLLADA model. You must check this box if you wish to wear your model as a rigged avatar part.
| |
| * '''Include Joint positions:''' Includes joint position information from the COLLADA file.
| |
| * '''Pelvis Z Offset:''' Changes the vertical positioning of a rigged model.
| |
| | |
| === Confirm and upload ===
| |
| Before uploading, you must acknowledge that you possess appropriate rights to the materials contained in your model; check the box at the bottom of the window and click '''Upload'''. Enjoy your new model!
