Open the Maytreya Mesh Body Kit Complete<\/em> Blend file that you received from the Creator. Then make sure that all Meshes are visible (display layers are enabled) and the Armature is selected in Object mode.<\/p>\n when you now open the Tool Shelf and expand the Armature Info panel, you should see something like this:<\/p>\n Maitreya – Developerkit with all Mesh layers enabled<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n You see the Rig version is outdated. Here is how to fix that and a couple of other flaws in the Maitreya file:<\/p>\n Maitreya comes with all deform bones unlocked. You want to lock ALL bones<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n This is how it should look after you locked ALL bones<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n This is actually not a strictly necessary step, but it complies to our workflows. If you have not yet done so, please proceed by taking a look at the Workflow Panel<\/a>.<\/p>\n Here is a safe way to setup the Avastar defaults manually:<\/p>\n Again: This is just optional. You might want to keep things as they are made by Maitreya if this serves your personal workflow better.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n How the 3D view should look after you adjusted the Rig Display<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Rig display as set by Maitreya<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Recommended Rig Display (select\/deselect the parts as shown)<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n In newer versions of Avastar (since Avastar-2.4) we have improved the appearance sliders to gain more precision. we have to do one cleanup step to get everything in place:<\/p>\n Important:<\/strong> When you skip this step, then your meshes will not react to any slider and your export might be distorted!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Now you can check that the Appearance sliders actually work:<\/p>\n Important: <\/strong>Once you are done with your testing, then please click the white Stickman icon in the top row of the Appearance Slider Panel. This is to prepare the next step!<\/p>\n Note:\u00a0<\/strong> Some sliders may not have any influence on the Mesh. Please refer to Maitreya documentation which sliders should work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This is the final step top get your Maitreya Developer Kit back to work:<\/p>\n Now your Maitreya Developer kit should work with the newest version of Avastar. You may want to store this blend file for future usage.<\/p>\n Optionally you now also can add your just created Blendfile as a new developerkit integration into the developerkit manager. This would give you the benefit that you can setup a new Maitreya project with just one click.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n Now you can also use the Avastar Workflows. If you are not familiar with the workflows, then please take a look at the Workflow Panel<\/a> document. It will help you to get along with Avastar.<\/p>\n Tip: <\/strong><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/avalab.org\/avastar\/279\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Image749.png\")
