The Alternative Clothes Files provide a means by which clothing items can be more easily tested in Blender to ensure they deform and articulate properly so clipping and other issues can be avoided in IMVU. Disabling one or all of them fixes selection issues where conflicts occur. There are a number of ways to enable ‘x-ray’ like features in Blender that may conflict with each other. This will mean having to re-establish IMVU compatible settings Scale in Viewport Display (set to 100.000) and Clip Start/ End in View tab of the Sidebar.Īlternatively once the file is loaded either deactivate X-Ray upper-right of the 3D View, or in Object Properties disable the In Front option under Viewport Display. To reset the Alternative Pose File so bones become fully selectable, when opening the file disable Load UI to ignore interface options that may cause issues. To fix this problem when using File » Open in the Blender File View window that opens, click the ‘cog’ icon top-right to access setting/properties and uncheck/disable Load UI (clear the check/tick). IMPORTANT: depending on the version of Blender used a bug prevents bones being selected once the Alternative Pose file is loaded – this happens regardless of the file being opened from the File menu or dragged and dropped into Blender.

Overview of the alternative Pose Starter Files for Poses (both female and male avatars), how to make a sequence that can then be exported to FBX and assembled in IMVU create mode (derived from 10945930, Empty Mood). Usage is per normal pose production select a bone, manipulate (rotate) and insert LocRot (set automatically) into an Action ( see here for more).Īdditional note: The alternative Starter File for Poses only includes the necessary components to make female and male static and animated actions or item poses – use the available Accessory Starter File for accessories and Clothing Starter File for clothes items (see above).Īn alternative set of Starter Files are available to make female and male avatar poses – avatar mesh (both female and male) is untextured for clarity with bones showing as colour-coded in Pose Mode – red for torso, light/dark green for hands, black for bones not to be animated, making it easier to distinguish at a glance bone selections in the 3D View and Action (or other) editors. Here the skeleton is shown with bones aligned to the avatar and colour-coded to make the rig easier to work with in the 3D View, Action and other editors red for main torso, light/dark green for hands, black for bones that shouldn’t be moved or animated. To address this a set of Alternative Pose Starter File’s, for both male and female avatars, are available. Due to the differences in how each product type is set up and functions in IMVU, the Starter Files are not interchangeable.ĭue to the requirements mentioned above, the Avatar Pose Files can be confusing to work with because bones are not orientated as might be expected. The Starter Files are designed to aid production of specific types, or ‘classes’, of products. They are not interchangeable ( see here for more).

In other words, the Clothing Starter File(s) cannot be used to create avatar poses because bones are orientated for clothing (armature not being needed for IMVU), whereas the Pose Starter File(s) cannot be used to make clothing because bones are aligned to produce valid poses (meshes not being needed for IMVU). Important: to avoid problems and errors on import into IMVU, Armature (skeletal) bones are positioned based on product type or class and should not be modified beyond that necessary to create a corresponding pose or product. The AVATAR Starter File includes all the core avatar files necessary to create custom products related to the female and male avatars Accessory, Clothing and (custom) Avatar Poses (static or statue and animated) for the avatar and avatar poses for rooms and furniture items. Taking a brief look at the Blender compatible IMVU Starter Files.
