\n
\n

The Collada exporter exports your Mesh character or mesh attachment to a form that is recognizable by the target System (SL, OpenSim or any compatible online world). You find the Mesh Exporter in the Blender Export menu.<\/p>\n

The Exporter opens with a file selection window where you can select the file to where you want to export, or you can type in a new filename.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/span><\/strong> If you prefer to see the Collada exporter in the Tool Shelf, then you can customize the Avastar Add-on Preferences.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Hint:<\/span> <\/span><\/strong>You usually can keep the default settings and just click on the “Collada(Avastar)(.dae)” button in the upper right corner of the Window (see zoom icon in this chapter title).<\/p>\n

A File Selector will pop up. Here you can navigate to your export directory and then export your file as a Collada file (using the file extension “.dae”)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Tip:<\/strong> <\/span>If you intend to use your exported mesh for Animesh then please note that Animesh currently does not support the Appearance sliders. Your mesh will always shows as when you enable the white Stickman preset in the Avastar Appearance slider<\/a> panel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Exporter provides a couple of export options for special cases. Please use these options with care.<\/p>\n

Modifiers<\/h3>
\n
\n
\n

By default Avastar applies all mesh changing Modifiers except the Armature Modifiers<\/em><\/span> to the exported meshes. However, some modifiers offer 2 sets of options, one option set is for rendering, the other option set is for the Viewport. We offer 3 options here:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
