| # One contributing factor to lag is textures. We already know that making an object with numerous 1024x1024 textures is a daft practice when it comes to building, even though it's appallingly widespread. The thing is, what we do know is that Second Life only supports bitmap textures (.tga, .png, .jpg format). These are formats that don't scale well. Put a texture on any prim's face with one repeat only, make that prim really big (retaining only one repeat of the texture on the face concerned) and watch it lose resolution and definition. Therefore, the temptation to use exceedingly high-resolution textures is strong. But really, for wood, metal, marble etc textures, do we need to rely ''exclusively'' on bitmap textures? Wouldn't it be a good move to provide support for procedural textures as well? These are only a couple of KB, they're really what texture makers use in order to finally make the resulting .jpg, .png or .tga files and they're infinitely scalable.

| # Latching on to the best practices discussion, is there a way to encourage better awareness of polycounts over and above LI as a means of promoting more efficient content? As it stands, render info exists, but you have to know where to look. It seems like LI is too often an ineffective way of defining the costs to the viewer, especially given the difference in LI just due to scaling alone.

Revision as of 17:24, 1 July 2013
Come discuss any issues around content creation - its challenges, limitations in the tools, workarounds and successes. Land is provided next to the office build for rezzing example content.
Bug reports and feature requests should have JIRA ticket numbers if at all possible, as it makes it easier to collaborate on issues both internally and externally.
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.
