Finally - Baby Prim Hair available


Finally, with the new update that makes it possible, the new mesh prim hairs are available.

Because it´s something you need to add it to the baby it come in two flavors, copy or transfer.


Transfer hair will be gone if you need to recover the baby so in some cases must be re bought to be applied again.

On the other hand if you have a copy/no trans hair, you wont have this problem but you wont be able to transfer the baby to your partner with the hair.

Its not a perfect solution but by giving both options anyone can choose the solution that better fits to their case.

All hair designs are available on the marketplace and in your favourite reseller.

Pigtail (copy or trans)
Ponytail (copy or trans)

Using the prim hair with your baby

The new prim hairs are already available but the way to apply it is a little different to how skins or clothes are added, this is because we will add a prim to the baby

To add the hair to the baby

First make shure you have at least the 2.53 version of the baby.

Rez the baby and the hair on the floor next to each other.

On the edit menu of the baby click "Hair" and accept the dialog asking if you wish to merge the two objects.

If everything went right the Hair will be merged with the baby, rezise itself to fit on your baby and move to the correct position.

This process is know to fail in some SIMS because of a reported bug. If this fails, try again on another Sim or merge it manually .

For merging the Hair Manually:

Go to edit mode / build mode on the viewer

Select first the hair and then the baby (with crl key to maintain the selection) ITS IMPORTANT THAT IT SHOULD BE IN THIS ORDER

Link them together ("Link" under tools menu or Crl+L under windows)


The hair itself uses just one prim, but the total amount of prim usage is reported as of almost 10 more prims. The actual cost on the server is currently unknown.

I will try to add a video tutorial shortly to make the process clearer

Changing the Hair color

Once the hair is merged the "Hair" button under edit on your baby´s menu is used to selecting the hair texture. Prim hairs comes with 8 texture colors plus a custome slot for bought or custome made versions.

Custom hair textures can be made downloading the PSD files available shortly on this same blog. To apply your own custom made hair to your baby, uploaded it to SL and apply it manually over the hair as any texture on SL. The hair design will be stored by the baby on the custom slot so you can change between all the hair designs.

To apply a 3rd party hair design, just apply it using the same method as if you where adding a skin. It will save it under the custom slot.

A new update on the design studio will be available shortly to add the support of selling hair textures, so make your imagination run wild and edit the hair in any way you wish.

Updates on the hair design

I can finally say that the scripting it´s almost done. So expect the new hair designs to be available before Christmas. Also I also made a second hair design you can choose.

The hair will come with 8 hair textures plus will be compatible with the design studio and I will make available the photoshop files. That way anyone can customise the baby´s hair in anyway he wants and make it available for all.

As the hair is a prim you have to add to the baby, it will come in two flavour: copy/no trans or trans/no copy. I can´t give you the price right now of each one but because of recovery the hair will be gone so it must be applied again. This means that in some cases you must buy the hair again.

On the other hand if you have a copy/no trans hair, you wont have this problem but you wont be able to transfer the baby to your partner with the hair.

Its not a perfect solution but by giving both options anyone can choose the solution that better fits to their case.

Design Studio Skin textures

Some Tatu Designers has ask me for the original skin tones to make clothes that shows some skin (like bathsuits for example) and here they are. Download them and use them on your creations.

By the way, I´m still working on the prim hair, and even I have already finish with the modelling and textures, the fact of adding a prim on the baby has prove to be more difficult than what I expected. So expect an update to make all babies compatible for this feature.

Sorry I have been away these days but I was actually working on the SL Beta Grid and offline.

And what have i been doing? Well something everyone has ask me for a while, HAIR!

Yup. its mesh hair and once its done it shouldn´t increase the prim count of the babies luckly by more than 1 prim

Sorry, this is the only hair design right now as its really hard to model hair, but it will be available in a large variety of hair tones.

Baby Tatu HUD Update 1.03

Last Friday I released a new update for the Baby Tatu HUD that includes some tweaks plus the ability to handle the baby´s list. Now its possible to remove or reset the list of babies and sets a maximum number of 12 babies to handle.

This is something asked by many clinic doctor´s where the old HUD might crash when used for too many babies, as the available memory would drop with each baby.

Now the HUD watches the amount of memory available to prevent any of those old problems.

Purple MedKit available

A new med kit its available. This med kit doesn´t heal your baby but it instantly skips a growth stage. This is thought for parents that doesn’t have the patience or couldn’t reach the amount of points needed that week and still wants their baby to reach their next stage.

It comes on a purple color and in two flavors and it will be only available on the marketplace for now.

1 shot

And 3 shots

How to use it

To use this medkit apply it as any medkit. Rez it near the baby and go to ALIFE / HEAL. A shot will be applied changing your baby’s personality. After that take your baby to the inventory and rez it again so the new stage is loaded by all the scripts.

New Toy - Balls!

Some new toys are available for the new updated baby. This time we have balls so the babies can play.

The beach ball is big and almost weightless

The rubber ball is small and solid, it falls hard but it bounces back

And the football ball, well its what you would expect for a football ball

They are all available at the marketplace and you favorite clinic


Use


Just rez the ball near the baby for the baby to use it.

The baby needs to crawl to play with the ball but the parent can also play with the ball so smaller babies can also have a laugh with it.


The ball works within a 20m radius, if it goes outside that radius it will return to the place it was rez. This should prevent losing babies and balls.


For the baby to actually use the ball it needs to be named as "D-Minuscula - Baby ***" So if you have renamed the object by using the menu you should be safe, but if you have manually edited the objects name you will need to change it.

New 2.5 Update release


Finally after 4 months of work the new update is available.

As you should know this is a mayor update where most of the scripts are rewritten so a normal update progress isn´t possible. That’s the reason that you will have to update by recovering the baby.

Please have in mind that this has been a lot of work that I’m giving for free as a mayor update and not as a new baby so if you like it, please show me some love with your lindens.

Whats new?

Well a lot of things,
New shape for toddlers
2 more stages for a total of 10
A Tutorial mode for new parents
Baby will learn to talk under certain conditions and stages
The Guide has been rewritten so it doesn’t spam guides all over the place
Breathing animation can be disabled
It can play now with balls (coming soon)
If you don’t reach the next stage by getting the needed points you can buy the new stage (coming soon)

The potty trainer needs also to be updated for the new stages, that update disc will be delivered in a few days before any baby reaches new stages.

WIP - New 2.5 Update

The new update has proven to be a lot harder than what I expected. As I told before on the group this is going to be a very big update where most of the scripts are rewritten but not with a lot of new features on the client side. Most of the updates will be cosmetic, by this I mean that the shape of the baby will change while it grows on the different stages, but believe only this is enough work.

Right now the shape of the baby is correct for a newborn but the proportions of the body parts should change when it’s reaching a toddler size. Personally I never liked the shape of other know baby builder because the proportions where of an adult human being and not of a baby, but when I made these babies grow I committed the same mistake by keeping the proportions.

I will still be using the same sculpts so all skins and clothes will still be compatible, only the proportion of the baby will change, but this means all the animations have to be rewritten from scratch.

The good news is that with the update I will make available a total of 10 stages to reach so babies can continue developing and I promise some surprises.

This is just a work in progress and for now there isn´t a release date, I´m leaving you a photo with the new shape that will be used on the high level stages. As you can notice the baby itself has a thinner and smaller head. But still the head, hands and feet are bigger than an adult shape, making it closer to what you can expect from a one year old toddler.

Update

As you can see I have been making changes on the webpage to reflect the new baby´s manual that will work with the tutorial mode I´m including on the baby. On the good news the update its coming as planed and probably tomorrow I will make available some beta testers versions for some users to debug. This also means that if everything goes ok it will be available near the 12 of July.

Its going to be a free update but if you appreciate all the work I have put on them you can show me some love and donate some lindens. Also as most of the scripts have been rewritten, and to avoid problems during the update process, the only way to update will be to recover the baby.

2.5 English FAQ - Howto

Welcome to the new Baby Tatu 2.5. Have in mind that 2.x is and upgrade of the 1.x series and even if it maintains some of the user experience and a lot of its features, is a full new baby.  

The very important things to keep in mind: 

On your first rez you will get the product registration key, don´t store the baby till you get it and save the key on a notecard so you can remember it. In the hard case that you lose the baby or it gets broken, you can recover the baby at the clinic with that key. Ask a nurse or clerk for help and they will walk you trought.

Add your partner, friends, etc. on the family list before you transfer the baby to them. If you fail to do so the baby will think it has been stolen and you will have to use the recovery key to get him back.
Only the avatar who registered the baby can reclaim it, so adoptions or baby resells aren’t anymore possible. Or at least we can´t support them if SL decides to chew them and spit them in a million prims.

Howto´s:   

Baby´s Name 

To name your baby Rez your baby on the ground, go to edit, new name and give him a new name. Its important to this on this way so the object itself will be renamed preventing some cache issues on the SL servers that can sometimes think that all objects with the same name are the same object. Your baby is unique, so give him an unique name

Your babys needs  Baby needs are represented by particle symbols on top of his head and baby noises which are pretty self explanatory.

A feeding bottle means your baby is hungry
A spiral when he is unclean and needs a bath or diaper change
An unhappy smile shows he is bored. Playing with him and toys will keep him happy and healthy
Zzz when he is sleeping
Hearts will show when he is feeling fun and loved or on level ups
A red cross appears when your baby's health is more than half down. Check his status to see what could be affecting him.
A thermometer represents a sickness. Flu and other virus will populate SL, the number of virus is short and if the babies get them, it will affect the health and fun for some days till they develop antibodies (it´s not fun to be sick). Flu virus are a random event that won't affect stage 0 babies and that can pass from one baby to another. The transmission is random and will affect more big children with low constitution as they don´t get the necessary antibodies from the mother. If you don't want to roleplay the illness a medic kit will give him the necessary antibodies for that virus.
A red cross with a little skull when your baby's health bar reaches cero and becomes sick beyond normal care. At this point the only way to recover his health back is with the use of a medic kit.

This particles as the rest of your baby can be very sensible to server lag and can even don’t show up by a particle sim limit listen to your baby or changing his speed to a lower one or check the status directly on the alife menu or by using the HUD.

The Menu 

Touch the baby and a menu will pop up

Actions Menu 

In this menu you can find all kind of interactions with your baby.

Put diaper / Take diaper – You’ll need to take your baby’s diaper first if you want to clean him. Its also useful if you want to try different clothes combinations with or without an on top diaper.

Wakeup – Morning call for your baby if he is asleep

Sleep – Make your baby go to sleep regardless his tiredness

Breastfeed – Just one of the ways you can feed your baby, but the most natural one. This option will disappear when your baby is old enough

Burp – Just some patting on baby’s back to make him feel better after a big meal

Play – Have fun with your baby and your baby will have fun with you

Hold – Holding your baby next to your warm heart feels comforting

Rock – Rocking your baby rocks!

Shoulder – Take the baby for a walk over your shoulder. All these actions affect your baby’s behavior in some way, there is no manual for these and is up to you as fathers to figure it out.

Clothes 

Is in this menu where you can dress or undress your baby Also you can find a neko ear and tail, neko ears can be use with the hat or by acquiring a different texture, as a full neko baby. Different clothes of different baby outfits can be combined to create your own baby style.

A-Life 

The heart and brain of your baby, where all the magic happens.

Heal – For healing your baby you will need to rez a medic kit near him and use this function. Med kits restore the health of the baby to a 100% and cure any sickness or flu. Each Med Kit´s color has a differnt property and some of them can bring side effects. Babies which arent a 100% sick can still be healed with only good care and some roleplay.

Speed – If you feel your baby too demanding, you are in a lagged server or you will leave him rez on his bed for hours, using an internal cycles lower speed could be the best solution. If you by the other hand wants a more challenging baby with the chance of making faster XP, ”Psico Mom!” is your best choice. And of course, normal will return the cycles to their normal speed. This works as the dificulty switch.

Have in mind that baby cycles aren’t regular, so it will be impossible to guess when the next one will be.

Personality – Your baby’s self stats, these are your baby’s personality. To have high some is better than others and will be only modified when you get enough’s XP. Stats go from 0 to 100, but no baby can be born with too high or too low stats. It’s your long work what will determine this.

Status – Here is the most direct way to check what is wrong with your baby showing values of its current status. Especially useful on lagged sims.

XP – Experience point can be worn on every cycle and this function will show you how much points are missing for a power up of that particular stat.
Every next power up will be difficult and more XP needed.
Powering lower stats is way easy than the higher ones and only with a lot of dedicated motherhood you can reach the maximum 120 stats.
Depositions and Hunger are inverse variables and you would normally won´t desire high values on those.

Since 2 .0 your baby´s growth doesn’t depend anymore on the baby´s stats but on the growth stage. Stats now can go up and down but your baby´s size will always depend on his growth.

Help File

Will bring you to this webpage

Edit Menu 

Update – Once you get your update disc, rez it near the baby and use this function to update its features. Scripts will be updated if needed and new features added when available.

Texture - New Clothes / New Skin / Reset – If you bought new baby’s clothes or skin first touch this button and your baby will be ready for accepting the new clothes. Some old clothes can be incompatible with the new ones, but its always possible to reset the, if they are not shown properly.

Umbilical cord – By default your baby will show an umbilical cord the first week of life then it will fall off and a little black button will appear in his belly which will disappear by the 2nd week of his birth. If by any reason you find this too disgusting or want to put it back, you can override it from here.

Male / Female – Choose your baby’s sex. This will change baby’s umbilical cord clip and pacifier color, show baby’s genitalia and ear piercing.

Name – Push this button and write your baby’s name on open channel. Baby’s name will appear on top of his head.If you do this while the baby is on the ground the objects name will also be changed.

AO – An animation override has been added. It adds some walk, and stand animations. You can choose between 2 different walk animations (Tired and female walk) or be completely shutdown.

Breath - Controls the breath animation. If you see a ball instead of the chest, you are having a display problem on your viewer. Turning off the breath animation is a quick way to avoid this problem.

The feeding bottle 

Just wear it and your baby will be feed. Watch out, he can eat more that he can take.

Diaper changing 

Rez the diaper box, take the old dirty diaper, then touch the diaper box. Is that simple

Bathing

Bathing cleans also the baby but by stages and only to a certain point. Bathing does not cause negative points by the fact that you can´t clean your baby a 100%. This is to reflect that even after a bath you need to dry him and apply a clean diaper.

Your baby’s health 

Always take a good look to your baby’s status and messages. High values on the stats will heal the baby and lower ones could hurt him in unknown ways. Don’t leave the baby alone unattended as it will eventually get sick, if you want to leave him rez on a cradle get one with hibernation mode. Your baby is a virtual living being and if you forget him for days without giving him any attention could result in his sickness. Take him once every 5 days so he doesn’t get sick of loneliness. Leaving the baby with a babysitter or a family friend could be a good precaution if you are planning to leave Second Life for a week or more.

Growth

How does the baby learn to crawl and advance in growth stages? This is done when your baby meets certain stat growths each week. No one on the staff can tell you what those numbers are, as we have no idea either. All we can say is be a great parent. Meet your baby's needs needs and as the scores grow so will your baby. If that week your baby does not meet those numbers don't get discouraged just keep up the good work and you will advance in time. But watch out you don't spoil him as it can backfire with some negative points as being a good mother is all about finding the perfect balance between needs and care.

On stage 3 the baby will be able to sit by itself On stage 4 it will learn to crawl On Stage 7 he will learn to walk. On Stage 8 it will learn to stand.

Right now from 2.5 version there are 10 different stages to reach and the shape and size of the baby will gradually change from a newborn to a toddler.

Crawling and Walking

Once you reach crawling stage, every time you need to pick up your baby from the ground first open the baby´s menu and touch the "Save" button. Nothing bad can happen if you fail to do so, but some prims can be shown on an incorrect size if you wear him or the baby can fall through the ground when you rez him on the ground.

The baby uses an invisible object named "Tatu Guide" to track the shape of the ground and mark the way for the baby. Its possible to pick that object by by mistake when trying to store the baby on the inventory. Depending on the baby´s curiosity it will seek the owner or other people, it also responds to writen commands to force him to follow you or go away.

Nerby Babies

Other Tatu Babies around your child as crowded places can affect your baby´s happiness in multiple ways. Low charisma babies won´t like the company of others and can even be mean to other babies at some times while charismatic ones will enjoy it more than other ones, and even try to be the center of attention.

Making sure what you baby has fun around other people or babies is the easiest way to level up his charisma.

Negative Points

Taking good care of your baby its all about equilibrium and it´s not just about keeping Heath, Hygiene and Humour up and appettite low. Don´t get me wrong, you need them on that way to make points, but you could be crossing over and spoiling your baby.

Feeding your baby when he is not hungry will make your baby fatter and unhealthy.

Playing with your baby all the time will make him tired of the same toys and games.

Keeping your baby always clean can cause a drop on his natural deffenses against sickness.

Etc.

All these negative points accumulate and will eventually lower some stats. It's still possible to obtain personalities over 100, but it will be harder to maintain it on that way. Some parents can have a really rapid drop on the personality till they reach the balance between what the baby needs and what they give to them. Personalities over 100 are much easier to lose levels than lower ones. Plus on each negative personality change a negative growth point will be added.

Design Studio - Transfer Boxes PRO

A new Transfer Box is available and this time we go PRO.

Some designers have complain that the need of dealing with each unit at a time of a given product was a big cumber stone while handling a lot of clothes and that it made it impossible to sell them on the marketplace.

The solution was to make a transferbox with copy and transfer permissions but that would mean that the price should be so high that it will turn away most designers and that it would take a lot of time for the designers with high sales to have the inversion returned.

As I always preferred a micro payments system, so designers can pay exactly for what they want to use, I will be using a similar approach for enabling this copy/transfer boxes.

This way the script itself it’s going to be free but once you pack it and make it available for sale, you need to pay L$500 for getting a copy/transfer version of that dress.

It might seem a lot of lindens as it cost as 10 transfer boxes right now. But I think designers will agree it’s a good deal. It means for example that if your dress is sold by L$250 you will get all your investment back on two sales.

It also means you can mix both systems and just invest on copy permissions for you on dresses you know you will have no problem selling and keeping the investments even lower by just using it where you know you will get the lindens back.

It will also be possible for you to sell your outfits at lower prices like just L$50 or giving them for free as a way to attract clients with freebies.

You will be able to sell them on the marketplace or use any vendor software you want and even have a sale stand not only on your shop but on other clinics by using catalogue vendors.



Remember: You need the Design Studio to use this

How To Use it 


The use itself is very similar the regular transfer boxes and you should read the Transfer Boxes walkthrought for the general instructions.

Unpack the box and place the script inside a box you created

The script will ask you for debit permissions to work which you need to accept.

If the box you created is copy / transfer the script will warn you so you don’t lose control of your product. This is just a suggestion but the script but it’s possible to create copy/transfer freebies if you wish to.

Once you click Finish it will ask you to pay a certain number to the box to finish the process and make it ready for sale. If you try to transfer it without this, the information on the script with your outfit will be lost.

If you wish to copy your outfit while rezed, remember that shift drag will reset the scripts of the copied version so your outfit will be lost. Take it to the inventory and rez as many copies as you need.

You can still use it with the no copy vendor scripts I made available if you need to, or just make the item itself sellable.

New Product - Diapers Superpack

Mother´s Day Special Offer

First of all, happy mother´s day for all the virtual and real mothers around the world.

As a mother’s day special gift for all the current and future virtual mothers and around, just for this weekend you can get a new baby with a 20% discount.

Just on the SL Marketplace

Recovery Service Issues

Due to some bugs it was possible to duplicate a baby registration and recover it again, because of that I suspect that some people where able to sell any number of unknown babies. That’s why from now on the recovery system will check the number of active babies and compare it with the original sales records to prevent anyone from having more active recovered babies than the ones bought.

I have been marking bought babies as originals since December but older records weren’t marked as such. So if that is your case and the recovery service just gave you this webpage, please contact me through https://my.secondlife.com/en/efimero.aker Private Message and please include all the information you have about the sale.

Please try to include the date when you bought it, if it was inworld or on the marketplace, and if possible the original baby´s Key, etc. The more information the better as it will make my work easier and faster.

I know this very uncomfortable for all the community and that in some cases it can pass a few days till you are again able to recover your baby and I´m sorry but I had no other choice.





To the other people who doesn’t fit on that description and tried to take advantage of this situation

F* YOU

A small update 2.122 release

A small update but it only deals with the backend of the Tatu services and with some security issues. Nothing else to say, only the people who recover their babies will notice its 2.122, even the menu will show the old 2.11 version.

Anyway im working on a large update, so large it will probably be named 2.5 but it will take some time.

Prim babies by Tatu!

Little Steps Clinic´s Blog has made an article about our babies. Its an old article but I just figure it out today.

In December of 2008 there was a revolution in SL. You see, prim babies back then were basically made of plywood. Yes, they made babies that weren’t much more than a box with a sphere on top, and you were supposed to pretend that it looked cute, cuddly, and worthy of you giving it all the childhood traumas that would make it grow up to be the next great badly adjusted adult with a desperate need for years of therapy to undo your parenting.

Then came Efimero Aker. He created these new babies, ones that went from being just a bit more interesting than a potato, to a full fledged virtual baby. A baby that no longer looked like something you buy at a furniture store, but a baby that looked like the child of Steven Tyler and Amy Winehouse.

On needed vacations

Hello loving parents

I’m going on some needed vacations so I won’t be around for 10 days. If you are having any trouble with your baby I’m sorry but I won’t be able to answer any message. I expect to be back for the 20th.

Wednesday, March 7, 2012

New Product: Na´vi skin available

Finally the na´vi skin, sorry about that, the blue daemon skin is available.
This mod consists of a 2 piece modification for changing the aspect of your Baby Tatu, the baby itself isn´t included.

1st - D-Minuscula - Baby Tatu Skins - Blue Daemon
And
2nd - D-minuscula - Baby Tatu Mod - Elf-Daemon ears

This must be applied on that order and are both inside the main box but do not unbox these items. So unbox the first box, the one that says boxed but not the second two-

Applying the skin

“1st - D-Minuscula - Baby Tatu Skins - Blue Daemon””will apply the correct skin and clothes. For that rez the box near your baby, and on the baby´s menu go to “edit/new skin” and touch the box. The skin and clothes will be automatically applied.


“2nd - D-minuscula - Baby Tatu Mod - Elf-Daemon ears” will modify the ear shape of the baby to a more elf like form. Touch the box and choose the shape you want to customize your baby. There are 4 different elf shapes available, plus an original one and one to make the ears invisible so you can use the neko ears as the baby´s main ears.


Once you have choose one of the designs, on the baby´s menu go to “edit/update”. The ears shape will be changed to the selected design.

You can use this as many times as you want, remember to keep them close as you will need it after a recover or baby update.

Hope you enjoy it!

WIP: Brace yourself Avatar´s na´vi skin is coming 2

Hi there.

The na´vi skin it´s looking great so it will probably hit the shelves in one or two days top. I just need to finish the tail, upload everything to SL and pack it. As you can see the baby brings its own na´vi clothes but it will still be compatible with the regular clothes pack. The thing is that you can´t make na´vi clothes without the blue skin background.

On other news, I will be leaving on vacations next Monday so I won’t be able to answear any mail or help any mother for something like 10 days.

Hope I can leave everything in order before that

Wednesday, February 29, 2012

WIP: Brace yourself Avatar´s na´vi skin is coming

As a lot of members of the na´vi community has asked me, I have been working the last days on a skin for na´vi babies. I still need to correct a few things and design some basic clothes to use, but the hardest work is almost done.

Because copyright infringements I won’t be able to list it with the na´vi name on the marketplace but i´m shure that the mouth to mouth of the community will take care of that.

So expect to find it with a name similar to blue navy, or blue daemon. Something like that.
Also if you can point me to na´vi clothes designs will be appreciated.

2.12 Update - Growing up

Changes

A new update is available for all parents with 2.x version.

First and most important adds support for the potty trainer that enables the bigger babies to lose the diapers.
It also includes a list of bugfixes which includes:

The burp sound its back
The diaper now hides the skirt
After you press save the baby will stay there (not crawling) till you pick him up.
Should fix some bugs on the high chair that sometimes reported that the baby wasn´t big enough.
Reports the correct number when a level is lost (before it was always reported the constitution)
And probably something else I’m forgetting.

IMPORTANT

If you need to update more than one baby, you need 1 disc per baby and do it one at a time. Don´t try to update more than one at the same time. This time anyone can make the update and the family list won´t be lost anymore on each update.

After making the update, rez your baby again (without saving the personality) for him to load all data again.

Don´t try to update unborn babies or they will be lost or update from other version that 2.06. If you do, you can lose the baby´s personality or need a medic kit to heal him.

Sometimes the update program can’t handle with all the requests. If the process stops at some point without reaching 100%, press "update" again.

If this is too hard, you can also get the latest version by recovering your baby or ask for help at your favorite clinic.

About this Potty Trainer

This Potty Trainer is build with the new mesh system; to view the object correctly you will need a mesh compatible viewer and its meant to be used only with babies on stage 7 and for babies on version 2.12 or newer replacing the use of diapers.

To use the potty trainer sit the baby on the baby´s poseball and wait till his work is done. Babies need training to use the potty so don´t expect to work from start and it could need the baby to reach 100% depositions the first times. Over the uses the baby will get comfortable with the use of the potty and have his business done more quickly and on lower depositions level. This is a training for your baby so it will take some time and various tries.

You can sit your avatar on the potty trainer to have fun with your baby and encourage him in his training.

Baby poseball can be hiden/shown as normal poseball with “/1 show-hide” command

Touching the potty trainer will bring a popup menu. This menu will allow you to update the product, sit the baby or choose one of the 6 different colors available for the potty.
