One of the suggestions is to use texture swapping where possible since we shouldn't/can't use mesh swap. But isn't a sculpty UUID swap the same as a texture swap? Since the sculptmaps are textures I'd assume they'd have the same impact on LL's servers. Is there more to it than that? -[[User:Adeon Writer|Adeon Writer]] 17:13, 10 December 2010 (UTC) | One of the suggestions is to use texture swapping where possible since we shouldn't/can't use mesh swap.

:Sure, in this instance the client would have to rebuild the sculpty mesh from scratch, the polygon positions, normals, etc. Re-creating the sculpty mesh 10 times every second for a 10fps object. That's like constantly changing the LOD that fast. --[[User:Nexii Malthus|<span style="color: #bbb; text-shadow:-1px -1px #ddd, 1px 1px #888;">Nexii Malthus</span>]] 23:19, 23 February 2011 (PST) | |||

RE: Falcon Linden
I can understand why UUID flipping is bad but removing the ability to change the mesh by script is a bit drastic. Couldn't it be throttled instead? Like once per 10 seconds? -- Strife (talk|contribs) 22:21, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
- Oh never mind, the article says you are doing exactly that. -- Strife (talk|contribs) 22:23, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
Sculpty UUID Flipping
One of the suggestions is to use texture swapping where possible since we shouldn't/can't use mesh swap. But isn't a sculpty UUID swap the same as a texture swap? Since the sculptmaps are textures I'd assume they'd have the same impact on LL's servers. Is there more to it than that? -Adeon Writer 17:13, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
