Are there any free modiling programs that can import the .obj or whatever to edit these things for free?
Too bad poser's not free :(

  1. Put on sale a key mod that makes SL more like an FPS

  4. Created a way to call Java methods from LSL --> Thread

Chip Midnight recommended Tattoo, but I haven't been able to get it working on my machine. You might give it a try, though.

Tattoo works!

However, its "Non Commercial" Does that mean I can't sell the avatars for L$? :mad:

Another SLer mentioned MilkShape, which I have downloaded and installed. It is open source and imports the SL .obj format without a hitch! However, it looks like it's more oriented toward animations than for skinning. I am still working through some tutorials, most of which deal with creating the underlying model mesh (which you don't need due to the SL obj).

Anyhow, I will mess around with this some more, and let you know if it might be another good alternative.
