Content Creation/Mesh Import User Group

From Second Life Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Currently topics are focused on anything related to the mesh import project. Feature requests, bug reports, design feedback, questions, comments, or example content are welcome.

Priority will be given to topics that are posted in advance and are relevant to the goals of the office hour. Feel free to include relevant links to JIRA or wiki pages.

Schedule

Mondays at Noon in Pacific time (SL standard time) at 2/208/7/23 MeshHQ 2 on ADITI

Also see the calendar of public user group meetings.


Agenda

Agenda for the next user group meeting is:


Please add topics below prior to 11:50 AM. Also, please put your SL name down so we can follow up if we have questions. Thanks!

Enter agenda items here (with name, please)


  1. What SHOULD happen to unconnected vertices (which are not part of any face) ?
    1. Should they be silently removed ?
    2. Should an error message pop up ?
    3. Are they silently included but not rendered ? [Gaia Clary, Eleanora Newell]
  2. How can we force the center of an object to a specific location different from the BBox Center? [Gaia Clary, Eleanora Newell]
  3. Some "older" mesh viewers allowed you to upload a LOD without the same number of faces as the other LOD's (though showing RED before upload, it would allow it to be uploaded anyway). I've been using that alot to make extreme low triangle final LODs (like 1 triangle, with two points collapsed - rendering it invisible) for a final LOD to save on PE on some object (had I used the auto generate it would perhaps have been 8 triangles according to number of faces). Is this a problem for the newer viewers? I've seen latest LL viewer putting faces wrongly on my existing inworld mesh's and was wondering if that might be the cause of it?
  4. Do meshes use the same exact skeleton system as a normal avatar, even though the joint names are different?
  5. Is the joint orientation and rotational order adjustable, or is it pre-determined in the sourcecode somewhere?
  6. What is the rotational order in BVH files used for by SL? If it is wrong, will it cause gimbal lock, etc.
  7. Can you animate the additional joints of the skeleton when using a mesh: mAnkleLeft, mToeLeft, mEyeLeft, etc? Or is this planned?
  8. The BVH file spec page for SL says it supports constraints, is that actually implemented and a usable feature?
  9. Runtai Linden posted a mapping of bones to internal bone names for the mesh model importer, it says lFoot = mFootLeft, is that a mistake? The closest bone location to it is actually mAnkleLeft
