I will probably never need this, but someone might find it useful:
This is a run-through of the workflow I would use to get models rigged for Second Life upload. It doesn’t include details on weight painting or modelling, and I assume the reader knows their way around the Blender interface.
This tutorial owes a lot to AshaSekayi’s excellent youtube video series, but quite a few things have changed since then, so I wanted to give a clear and more current overview of how the rigging and export/import processes work in a recent Blender version.

I’ve tried using Blender, but I can’t use it at all (even for simple static models). Which is unfortunate – there are a few things in my head I would *love* to make if I had the skills (like blouses and mesh dresses).
I’ll try again. Every time, I retain a little more.
