Hi! Been a busy little fur, made a bubble chair that needs a chain to suspend it by. Being furnature it needs to be prim friendly as humanly possible. So no making 10 to 20 little toroids and making the chain by hand. How best would I do this? I am thinking some sort of texture but, I uploaded a chain texture and having miserable luck with making it look right.  By the time I get the chain to look right (offsets and repeats per meter) the last link is somewere off in cyberspace and what I see on the end has half of the next link though it so it just doesn't look right once I get it posisioned so the loop is though that same link.  How do you all do chains? Thanks! Rose

Get a texture of a chain that has an alpha. Make a thin prim as long and skinny as your chain and texture it. Copy it into two or three prims, your choice. If using two prims, rotate one 90 degree to the other. If three, rotate them 45 degrees. Align in the centers. CTRL-L to link. There is your chain. Hope this helps, Jen
