#AVASTAR BENTO ANIMATIONS TUTORIAL CODE#

Vir notes the solution is not ideal, but the only other way to fix such issues would be extensive re-working of the viewer code – and at least this approach avoids the need for a re-log to correct matters. This can be found in the avatar name tag context menu, or the avatar context menu, either of which can be access by right-clicking on the name tag or avatar respectively. To overcome this in the Bento viewer, there is a Reset Skeleton option, which can be used on either yourself or other deformed avatars in your view. This is due to variances in how appearance updates are received / handled (and even with non-Bento avatar models has in the past required a re-log to fix). There are occasions (when changing between avatars, for example) when those who are on a Bento viewer may see themselves or another Bento avatar distorted. Reset Skeleton The Reset Sketon option is available from the right-click context menus for both avatar name tags (l) and avatars (r) The Lab added code to the viewer some time ago to specifically prevent Bento updates from crashing the viewer, so as long as a viewer has these updates – as should be the case with all currently maintained viewers – it should not crash. In extreme cases, older viewer versions may crash if a Bento avatar / Bento content is encountered but these cases should be rare. Obviously, as the Bento code is more widely adopted and reaches release status, these issues will decline – but for now, if you’re using the Bento RC viewer (or other viewer with Bento support), do keep this in mind when venturing out in public.

#AVASTAR BENTO ANIMATIONS TUTORIAL FULL#

On the right, a Bento avatar seen respectively in a Bento and a non-Bento viewer (click for full size) On the left: a Bento head seen in a Bento viewer (note the jewellery is out-of-position on the first image as I didn’t bother repositioning it to fit the head for the photo) and then on a non-Bento viewer – note the head is now located in the small of my back (arrowed). Bento creations will only appear correctly when viewed in a Bento-enabled viewer, as shown in these two pairs of images. Anyone using a non-Bento viewer see you is at best going to see things incorrectly positioned on your avatar, and at worse, see whatever you are wearing utterly deformed. If you opt to experiment with the Bento RC viewer and Beno demons etc., keep in mind that any Bento-enabled items to you wear will only appear as intended when viewed from another Bento capable viewer. These affected the lip thickness slider, the square head slider, and the body thickness slider, together with a slight tail bone issue.

There are a number of small updates in the RC version of the viewer, chiefly typos in the sliders which were preventing them from having symmetrical effects. Cool VL Viewer already has Bento merged into its experimental branch, for example, and Firestorm has the code merged ready for their next scheduled release. This means that TPVs can now officially adopt the Bento code and release it in their own viewers. RC Viewer ReleaseĪs indicated in an official blog post, and in this blog, the Bento viewer is now at release candidate status with the release of version 5.88 – which can be obtained through the Alternate Viewers wiki page. Rather, it represents the core points of discussion, grouped together by subject matter were relevant / possible, whilst maintaining the overall context of the meeting.
