 Due to many components not being available in OpenSim, the consensus is to commission the most vital components to complete the Shork Cafe setup.\\ Due to many components not being available in OpenSim, the consensus is to commission the most vital components to complete the Shork Cafe setup.\\

-First of, here we have a [[:ressources:opensim_avatars|rough design guide]] for our avatars  +First of, we have a [[:ressources:opensim_avatars|Design Guide]] for our avatars. \\ 
- +Please look it over and read it. \\ 
 +In the design guide we have a  Collada .DAE file as a reference based on an initial draft of the lion avatar. \\ 
 +You can grab it ** {{ :ressources:default-avatar_lion-parts.zip |HERE}} **  in case you missed it in the design guide. The flat-colored parts are the lion parts, the gray body is the system default avatar that SecondLife / Opensim provides automatically.  
 + 
 + Next, some technical information (also present in the Design Guide): 
 +^Year  ^Type ^# Triangles per object ^dpi Textures ^Resolution Textures ^ 
 +|2004  |Prim  / Sculptie Avatars |~3000 | 72 | 512*512 | 
 +|2014  | Mesh Component Avatars \\ Shork Avatar | ~30.000 | ? | 1024*1024 | 
 +|2024 |Full Mesh Avatar | >150.000 \\ (= Entire Body) | High | 2048*2048 | 
 + 
 +We're aiming for the technical middle ground which, by today's standards, is the low end actually. For us this ensures that everybody using our avatars will be able to enjoy them, irrelevant of internet connection and processing power. 
 + 
 +When you got to this point you have an idea of HOW a Second Life / OpenSim avatar can be built and which parts we're usually interested in. \\ 
 +When you're a 3D printable tabletop Minis artist, you can work with your normal scale: We have a solid scaling factor during import  for that scale that we can apply. \\ 
 + 
 +The file format we need for 3D models is Colladas .DAE format.\\ 
 +The file format for textures is .PNG or .JPG with high quality settings (80%++).
  
 +When you as an artist think more information is needed here, tell us please!. \\
 +Alternatively, when you think there is too much, or too restrictive instructions, tell us, too. \\
  
 +For a list of avatars we are interested in commissioning, look at our [[:avatars:avatars|Avatar List]].
