It has a simple alpha capability without needing separate mesh parts. Ruth2 v4 is provided as a single mesh that is designed to work well with Bakes on Mesh. Dev Kit: Blender source, UV maps and Collada (DAE) on GitHub Ruth2 Repository.

It is built to use standard Second Life UV maps using a scratch-built open source mesh by Shin Ingen, Ada Radius and other contributors from the RuthAndRoth Community. Ruth2 is a low-poly mesh body specifically designed for OpenSimulator and which can also be used in Second Life™. Use a viewer which supports Bakes on Mesh, e.g. The neutral value is the fraction of the way along the slider range (from 0-1) at which the slider has no effect, and so leaves the skeleton in its default state.Based on Blender Mesh from (was Ada Radius Draft 11).
These are sliders that can be controlled interactively and affect bone position or scale. This means they run the risk of having the influence they have on the avatar shape being partially or completely overridden by animations that use positions.
The following bones are influenced by sliders that affect their POSITION. The following slider controls are not supported due to technical constraints.īones Currently Affected By Positional Sliders The following slider controls are supported, but only by the use of collision volume bones (Fitted Mesh) However, some of the controls are supported only by the use of collision volume bones (Fitted Mesh), and some controls cannot be supported due to technical constraints. We support most of the shape controls found under "Edit Shape". Linked to the new Alt eye joints mFaceEyeAltLeft and mFaceEyeAltRight. Called "Alt" ears because there are already ear attachment points connected to the head. Linked to the new mFaceEarLeft and mFaceEarRight joints. Linked to the wing joints mWing4Left and mWing4Right Linked to the mHandRing1Left and mHandRing1Right joints, suitable for rings and such.
New Attachment Points List of new attachment points Location If repositioned, they can also be used for a second set of arms or wings.įor animating any groin-related appendages These branch off from the main chain of the wings, to help with applications like bat wings.īy default, these bones are positioned behind the original legs and can be used as and additional set of legs in that position. This joint lies at the base of the wings, and is intended to make it easier to move and potentially repurpose the wing joints. By default these are "folded up" inside the original spine and will not have any affect, so they would need to be re-positioned in any models that use them. These allow ears, antennas, or any other head appendages of your choice to be animated.įor controlling the upper lips and mouth cornersĪdditional joints have been added to the spine to allow more flexible models.
The default eye bones are not suitable for use in animations because they are controlled directly by the Second Life viewer. They could be used to control additional eyes, or to control eye orientation via animations. The following new joints have been added to the head and face:įor controlling the upper and lower eyelidsīy default, these are in the same location as the default mEyeLeft and mEyeRight bones. They are named as follows: mHand, where fingers are Thumb, Middle, Index, Ring, and Pinky, number is 1,2 or 3, and side is Left or Right. There are 30 finger joints, 15 on each hand - 3 joints per finger times 5 fingers. The numbers in bones names are ordered such the bone that is closest to the root has the lower number. The largest number are for support of facial expressions and finger movement. For rigged content, simply omitting unused/missing bones from the skinning data is now is allowed. Upload of rigged content no longer needs all the bones specified in the DAE file for convenience purposes. 4.5 Sliders that affect Collision Volumes.4.3 Bones Currently Affected By Positional Sliders.
