Hello i am a beginner - Bonjour à tous ! - KimBill - 12-29-2016
Hi all !
I started SL one month ago and i enjoy creating any kind of stuff. Just heard about Blender which i downloaded, that would allow me to create fashion which i am too lazy to make irl :/
The excellent tutorial made by The Mighty Ginkgo led me here, this site seems to be a gold mine !
I hope i will improve my skills quickly and contribute to the community soon.
(sorry for bad grammar, english is not my mother tongue)

Follow this tutorial to learn how to CopyBot items in Second Life and post on the forum <a href="http://goonsquad.co/thread-13228.html">COPYBOT AND POSTING</a>
**When downloading Collada/mesh files you must have, at minimum, a general understanding dealing with mesh items and 3D software like Blender, Avastar etc.... .DAE files are not beginner friendly. First you must have an account in Second Life that will allow you to upload mesh files, see here --> https://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Uploading-a-mesh-model/ta-p/974185
Two important tools you will need with mesh is <a href="https://www.blender.org/">BLENDER</a>
and <a href="http://goonsquad.co/thread-10781.html?highlight=avastar">AVASTAR PLUGIN</a>
** Items that are XML or OXP you can simply upload them into the game via XML import or Linkset import (for .oxp files). (Beginner Friendly) All the textures will upload with the item.
