But beware, Blender does not export the render results, but only the source images!<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>Image Type:<\/strong> <\/span> The image format is typically predefined in the Blender Render settings.

You should normally keep the options set as they are. This ensures your exports are well suited for SL. However in some situations you will have to get back here and set the options according to the descriptions below:<\/div>\n<div class=\"rhcol span6\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/avalab.org\/avastar\/legacy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/reference-059.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-907 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/avastar.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/reference-059-256x300.png\" alt=\"reference-059\" width=\"256\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"span6 rhcol\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>Apply Armature Scale:<\/strong><\/span> If you have <strong><em>scaled your Armature in Object Mode<\/em> <\/strong>for making a tiny or a giant you should not apply the scale to the armature because then the entire Avastar Animation system may no longer work (details need to be documented). But the Object Scale must be applied when you export the mesh.<\/div>\n<div class=\"span6 rhcol\">Otherwise your scaling will not be recognized in your target online world and the giant shrinks back (or the tiny grows back) to normal size. The Applay Armature Scale option ensures that the Object scale is applied in the exported Armature.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"span6 rhcol\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>Apply Rotation &amp; Scale:<\/strong><\/span> If you have <strong><em>Scaled or rotated your Objects in Object Mode<\/em><\/strong> then this Scale&amp;Rotation should be applied to all objects of an export to avoid unexpected scaling and rotation issues within the target system. However this is all so often simply forgotten and sometimes even unknown.<\/div>\n<div class=\"span6 rhcol\">Hence we have added an automatic apply Rotation&amp;Scale to the exporter. This setting does not affect the original objects.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"span6 rhcol\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>Weld Edge Normals:<\/strong><\/span> When two separate objects share a boundary line, then you typically see a boundary seam in the object texture. This happens because the vertex normals differ even if the adjacent objects share the exact same vertex locations.<\/div>\n<div class=\"span6 rhcol\">This option recalculates the vertex normals at the adjacent boundaries of the selected objects.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"span6 rhcol\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>Weld to all visible: <\/strong><\/span>Sometimes you want to only export one part but still want the vertex normals be fixed.<\/div>\n<div class=\"span6 rhcol\">This option lets the exporter take all visible objects into account when calculating the vertex normals at object boundaries.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Unsupported Options<\/h3>\n<div class=\"row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"span6 rhcol\">\n<p>\u00a0Avastar also provides some advanced export options.

We believe this number is sufficient for all weighting tasks. In cases where this limit seems to be too low we always found the real problem was due to bad mesh topology and bad rigging.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"span6 rhcol\">\n<p>Setting this number affects the maximum number of weights which are exported by Avastar. We strongly recommend to keep this number set to 4.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"span6 rhcol\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Include Deformer Shape<\/span><\/strong>: Some virtual worlds support the Mesh deformer which was originally developed for usage in Second Life.<\/div>\n<div class=\"span6 rhcol\">When this option is enabled, then an additional xml file is created that can be used as reference shape if the Importer supports this feature (currently used with OpenSim)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"span6 rhcol\">\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">With Attachment Weights:<\/span> <\/strong>SL does not allow weighting of attachment points.
