Next meeting scheduled for: November 3, 2010.

===Agenda===

== November 3, 2010 ==
# Will the new prim size also mean a new rule set for linking prims together, in other words, will the 30 meter limit change?
#* Andrew Linden is working on new linkability rules that simplify the equation to 54m from the center of objects being linked, regardless of scale. 54m is the current maximum linking distance. --[[User:Stickman Ingmann|Stickman]] 16:47, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
# Is this a bug or expected behavior? https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/CTS-309 Should mirroring be allowed for meshes?
# (General rendering, not Mesh) Shiny and especially pre-defined bumpmaps are broken (for me) with experimental "Lighting and Shadows" enabled (although "brightness" / "darkness" bitmaps still work). Is this intended? (Breaks some of my content, but if it's a necessary step for future Materials or something, I won't jira it.) [[User:Qie Niangao|Qie]] 13:27, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
# (Another general rendering) Experimental shadows from sun and projected lights passing through an 8-bit alpha-textured surface appear (to me) to be 1-bit alpha-masked, regardless of rendering settings. Is that intentional (perhaps for computability)? [[User:Qie Niangao|Qie]] 13:37, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
# What happened to the neck attachment slot! :( --[[User:Stickman Ingmann|Stickman]] 16:47, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
# What's the current status on UUID swapping for meshes, and custom bones at release? --[[User:Stickman Ingmann|Stickman]] 16:47, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
# Can we get a rigged avatar in more formats? DAE version crashes Maya on import.
# Your Question Here!

# updates!
## mesh viewer source code
## mesh project JIRA category
# Other Uses for UploadObjectAsset
# Streaming costs
# is it possible (or will this be considered) to let skinned mesh be influenced by the av's morph sliders
# When you give/sell a mesh to someone, will they be able to drag/drop it on a prim?
# Has anyone looked at the avatar distortion bug? https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/CTS-261
# Is there any news on mesh specific LSL functions?
# What would people like to see from a web inventory interface?
# Is the 64 Meter scale decided yet?
# Using mesh as a springboard to 'Avatar 2.0'?
# We were told windlight is in server code but viewer code hasn't caught up yet. Any ETA on viwer-side controls for estate windlight?
# could we get a water filled mesh beta sandbox?
# why do mesh beta regions do not load their map?
# There were rumors from an Aditi OH (with no transcript) that LL will not provide open source code for uploading meshes. Is this true? If so, support for open source is clearly being reduced. Please comment.
# Uploading multiple objects as a single mesh results in deformation?
# Your Topic Here!

Next meeting scheduled for: October 6, 2010.

===Agenda===

== October 6, 2010 ==
# Broken inventory (wrong icons on clothing, clothing not attaching)
# web inventory database ideas
# having trouble editing clothing in last few beta viewers
# new and improved ARC!
# Beta grid sim plan - normal Aditi with all sims for mesh?
# Triaged, but what's the result of that triage? "I can see my hair when walking, in 1st person mode" {{JIRA|SH-274}}
# Idea: Ability to attach add'l tear off menus to sidebar (ex. the build window, the rendering types menu)
# Avatar 2.0 - Current av looks good with custom skins but has some weird issues (eg distortion of wrists and shoulders), no individual toes and a lot of problems with its UV wrap that make it hard to work with. An extended consultation with the community to make a replacement avatar would be ♥. This obviously breaks existing content and would complicate inventory item types but the longer it's left the more content there is to break

Next meeting scheduled for: September 29, 2010.

===Agenda===

== September 29, 2010 ==
# Collada geometry origin not used? Will cause problem with LODs being off center without hacky work around?
# Will vehicles use the prim count of the physics hull and allow use of over 31 prims on the visible mesh part?
# Will scripting support changing an object between different meshes?
# Will mesh import support normal maps ? Or any other normal storing system ?
# Question about viewer technology: what data is in a "Shape", other than form and size? Reason for question: The "Shape" exported by TPVs that adhere to the ToS/TPVP rules contain 4 UUIDs that appear to correspond to textures (one or two seem to be eyes, despite Eyes being a separate wearable, and another appears to be related to the Alpha wearable). What is actually in a "Shape", officially?
# Bulk Reset/Compiling scripts doesn't show full feedback anymore: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-18027 & https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-17976
# Update on UI changes for content creators
# Fairwell to Aimee and the rest of the Brighton office...
# Information on size affecting prim count? What kind of scale is it likely to increase count?
# Will Rigged mesh attachments support linked objects?
# Purpose of submesh? Can they be treated as separate links, EG rotate, position etc different to the root?
# Any planned scale limit? large mesh is excellent for terrain, buildings, most sim building use. Mega prims are already used in this function
