I actually downloaded every similar piece of "content" that store (that has since shut down) has to offer, but I'm having trouble finding a guide that will show me how to use meshconverter and hydrastorm. I believe i need to use meshconverter to make a .dae file out of the xml and then upload it to SL, but there are several types of file extensions in the content i downloaded. Below are some examples of what the files look like:

@ZeroThe10th


youve gotta look the pics i attached :P those tutorials are cute,
but they don't cover the files I'm trying to import, like XMLs and J2Cs,
both of which arent content I ripped from someone else's avatar (downloaded it off of here)

hwarren 101, you can open j2c files with XnView software

how would i go about importing all of these files into SL though? im just looking to import the dick and its HUD.

I even have a boxed and unboxed version on my other account that I can download if necessary, I'm just not sure how I can transfer this item and use properly on my alt.

there is a dae file in that folder you must use that file for uploading
the j2c files  are textures

Is that a sculpty dick? because if it is then you just do a XML import.
Let me try to explain this the best way I can hmm..
Mesh helper can only turn Mesh XMLS that you extracted into rigged mesh. Because it takes it from your cache.
if it is acache file from someone elses computer it wont work.
So a shared xml file that is here, is usually something that pulls assets like a sculpty.
as for the Jc2 texture files you can either google a converter and convert them, I think we have reaconverter on here that does it, if not google is your friend,
convert and upload,
or take the numbers from the file names as those are the UUIDs(I think)
and apply it to parts of said dick.

Also, unless you have the scripts for the hud, you cant copy it, you may be able to get the build of the hud,  but it wiithout the scripts it'll be inoperatable


RE: Tutorial for uploading xml mesh with hydrastorm viewer and meshconverter - hwarren101 - 01-14-2023

@ ZeroThe10th Is there anyway way to pull scripts and the hud
from my main account? i actually own it there
