Therefore the tool adds various functions and <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">user interface elements<\/span> to Blender.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"span6 rhcol\">\n<p>The full functionality of Avastar can be a bit overwhelming on first sight.

We have added a link to\nour Blog right into the Blender Help menu.\nthis link will open the main Avastar Help-page.\n\nBut there is another quick-step to our help system.\nWhen you have an early version of Blender 2.64, then\nyou can right click on any of the Avastar action buttons\nto open a selection menu. When you click on the Online-Manual\nentry, then you will be guided to a context-sensitive\nHelp-page.\n\nWhenever something goes really wrong during your work with\nAvastar, then you will get a direct visual feedback at\nseveral places. First-of-all, a message box opens up.\nThis box contains a more detailed description why things might\nhave gone wrong. And you always find a link to the Avastar\nhelp pages too. Clicking on this Help-button will open the\ncorresponding help-page in your Browser.\n\nA very brief summary about what happened can always be found\non Blender's Status line. Here you find summary informations,\nwarnings and error messages.\n\nBlender also has an embedded Session-log. You can access it\nby dragging the top-menu bar down a bit. There you\nfind a complete log of what happened during your\nactive Blender Session.\n\nWhen Avastar encounters an Error, then you can always find\na corresponding error-report in the Blender console. With Blender 2.64\nyou can open the Console from the Window menu-entry in the main menu-bar.\nWhen you use an older version of Blender,\nthen this button is located in the Help section.\n\nWhenever you got stuck, and when the Help system does actually not help\nyou to solve your issue, then you still have a couple of other\npossibilities to move on.\n\nWe offer a support forum on the machinimatrix-Blog.\nHere you can ask your questions. And in most cases\nyou will get quick help to solve your issue.\n\nIn SL we maintain the chat group Blender-Avastar.\nJoining this group is free for everybody. So even if you\nhave not purchased Avastar, then you still may get instant\nadvise or Help on Blender issues from there.\n\nYou also can send us an Email if that is your preferred\nway to communicate.\n\nso, we are doing a lot to get you informed, the documentation\nis under constant review and it will be completed while we work\non the release of Avastar-1.0\n\nFor now we wish you a lot of fun and not too many issues,\nhave a great day, and maybe see you later in the chat group.\n\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transcript Avastar is a complex addon for Blender, And if you want to get the most out of it, then it is evident to know how to work with it.
