[IMVU] How to make chain links (jewellery/jewelry)

(1/1)

kat:



Description
Chains and other jewellery/jewelry items that make heavy use of duplication often result in FBX/XMF files that are too big to import into IMVU because they include too much structural details - meshes are too 'dense'. If chains are to have individual links modelled it is best to keep detail as low as possible so they describe the outline or profile of a link. Shown above are two ways individual chain links can be easily made from a Plain (Add » Mesh » Plain) in Blender 2.8+ that keeps the number of faces to a minimum (subject to chain length and complexity).
