Blender 2.68? New content creator for IMVU

Hello everyone :)

English is not my motherlanguage so I'll do my best to be understandable :/

I know a little blender , I only learned to make Collada . I just needed to learn the tools of modeling, the materials , apply a texture. For IMVU I tried to follow this tutorial : http://www.katsbits.com/tutorials/video/imvu-furniture-blender.php because I want to create decorative objects. I have blender 2.68 , I do not think I understood what export tool I needed ? I downloaded it https://bitbucket.org/jacobb/imvu_cal3d/downloads

I create a cupcake tower with several materials in the options on each materials I chose a 512 or 256 texture. I used this blender file http://www.katsbits.com/files/imvu/jazzkat_template_imvu_furniture.zip

When I click my cupcake tower and furniture.RIG I can not use CTRL + J it does not work . That makes me an error "no mesh data to join" But I select both. I'm also completely lost after the tutorial , it does absolutely not look at my Blender 2.68 , I do not understand the history of things and rename to 'parent' ... :(

Is someone willing to help me?

Thanks for all and have a nice day :)

You're about 70% there. First make sure you use the script for Blender 2.64, it works with 2.68 (the one you used only works with older versions of Blender). You need to "Parent" ("Ctrl+P") the mesh to the Armature, not "Join" - that is why you got the error. Select the MESH first then Armature, then use "Ctrl+P" to Parent them together. Make sure you're following or have read through the "Quick guide to making IMVU furniture" here and you should be OK.

Nilly:
Oh my god Kat you're so nice... i have understand for CTRL+P now, i have selected "object" and now when I move furniture.RIG the cupcakes moves with it !

Thanks a lot for explain me where is the good script  :'(

You're so kind really thanks again now I hope it's OK I follow next steps and be back if I have another problems or if it's successfull too, thanks again really

kat:
No worries. Just take your time and you should do OK. If not ask to join the IMVU Workshop where there are a few more resources available (you might want to join anyway).

Nilly:
Hello again kat! I have followed the tutorials and install the good script for 1.64+

The script works well, all the stuff needed is exported, but when I want to import the .XMF in IMVU, nothing happens.. the grey  basic chair "vanish".... and it's all. I dont understand because I see all my materials... the numbers of triangles... It's like the object is not here.
