However the sliders behave slightly different for bones which have been edited. Especially when sliders not only scale bones but also translate them (like for example the eye distance slider or the Shoulder distance slider) then as soon as the bones are edited, they only can be rotated and scaled. Any translation component is then suppressed!<\/p>\n<p>The Appearance Sliders in Avastar behave in the same way as they do in Second Life, but we have added a visual hint, that indicates when a slider affects one or more bones with custom joints&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"rhcol span7\">\n<p>Assume you have edited the Shoulder Bones and separated them a bit (see image). This means the Shoulder bones (actually mShoulderLeft\/Right to be precise) are now treated differently. And now all sliders which directly move the Shoulders will be colored in red.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rhcol span5\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/avalab.org\/avastar\/279\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Image434.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2152 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/avalab.org\/avastar\/279\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Image434.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"454\" height=\"277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/avalab.org\/avastar\/279\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Image434.png 454w, https:\/\/avalab.org\/avastar\/279\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Image434-300x183.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 454px) 100vw, 454px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"rhcol span7\">\n<h4>What is the meaning of red sliders?<\/h4>\n<p>One pretty obscure feature of the SL appearance slider system is that it distinguishes between bones with edited joints and bones without edited joints. As soon as a joint is edited, all sliders which directly affect the bone no longer apply bone translations to the bone. However Bone scaling remains intact even for edited Bones. Becasue of this feature we have marked all sliders with a red background when they affect bones with joint edits.<\/p>\n<p>In this example you see the red Shoulders slider indicating that it no longer translates the mShoulderLeft\/Right bones as before.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rhcol span5\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/avalab.org\/avastar\/279\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Image433.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2153 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/avalab.org\/avastar\/279\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Image433.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"208\" height=\"403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/avalab.org\/avastar\/279\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Image433.png 208w, https:\/\/avalab.org\/avastar\/279\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Image433-155x300.png 155w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 208px) 100vw, 208px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Appearance Sliders and Shape Keys<\/h2>\n<div class=\"row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"rhcol span7\">\n<p>Avastar supports the usage of Shape keys with your custom rigs. However shape keys and Appearance sliders are somewhat intertwined. When your custom mesh has shape keys defined, then you occasionally need to update the Appearance sliders data.<\/p>\n<p>This is done with the operator <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><em>Sync with Shapekeys<\/em><\/span> in the Appearance Sliders panel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rhcol span5\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/avalab.org\/avastar\/279\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Image776.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5027 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/avalab.org\/avastar\/279\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Image776.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"203\" height=\"254\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>When to use the <em>Sync with Shapekeys<\/em><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>You changed the Appearance sliders while (after) you are editing a shape key<\/li>\n<li>You renamed your shape keys<\/li>\n<li>You modified the order of your shape keys<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Tip: Set the sliders to white stickman (the icon in the top of the Appearance slider panel) before editing shape keys<\/p>\n<h3>Caveat: (Important to know!)<\/h3>\n<div class=\"row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"rhcol span7\">\n<p>Whenever you edit a custom mesh, Avastar marks the mesh as modified and adds a <em><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Rebind all Meshes<\/span><\/em> button on top of the Appearance sliders panel.

This allows you to test the behavior of your meshes in regard to the Avatar Appearance sliders, before the meshes are even exported. However, sometimes a rig becomes so complicated and the creator decides that the usage of the Appearance sliders is actually not wanted. In this case Avastar allows you to disable the sliders by unchecking the check mark in the header of the Appearance panel.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Important:<\/strong> <\/span>When you want to disable the appearance sliders, then it is best to set the white stickman mode first. This makes sure that your rig matches the neutral skeleton. While this is not strictly necessary we still recommend that you enable the white Stickman shape prior to disabling the sliders. Then you can be sure that if you ever want to enable the sliders again, you will not suffer from unwanted stretching of the skeleton.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"rhcol span9\">\n<h2>The Special Sections<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rhcol span3\"><a class=\"mamap\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.machinimatrix.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/map_appearance_sections.png\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.machinimatrix.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/map_appearance_sections.png\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"rhcol span7\">\n<ul>\n<li>We have added 4 extra sections (<em><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Changed<\/span><\/strong><\/em>, <span style=\"color: #800000;\"><em><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Fitted, Extended<\/span> <\/strong><\/em><\/span>and <em><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Skeleton<\/span><\/strong><\/em>) which do not appear in the Second Life Shape editor:\n<ul>\n<li>The <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><em>Changed<\/em><\/span> section is empty by default and will be populated by the list of changed Shape sliders of your Avastar.<\/li>\n<li>The <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><em>Fitted<\/em><\/span> Section contains all Sliders which affect Fitted Mesh Bones (Collision Volume Bones).<\/li>\n<li>(new): The <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><em>Extended<\/em><\/span> section is the collection of sliders which affect the new Bento Bones.<\/li>\n<li>The <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><em>Skeleton<\/em><\/span> section (see image) contains all sliders which affect the bone length of the Avastar character.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>On top of the list (in the Section Header) you see a Reset button.
