1. Workflow flaw: I have an outfit 'basic body' (containing shape/skin/eyes/hair), an outfit 'huds' with all the HUDs, and then any number of 'clothing' outfits. Now to dress the avatar, I replace whatever I wear with 'basic body' and then add 'huds' and the clothing on top. When trying to update the outfit now I can either 'save', which will save ALL the stuff to 'basic body'. That's bad. Or I can 'save as'. But when entering the name of the clothing set I added last, before adding/removing single pieces, that outfit is not overwritten but the client is saving a second outfit with the same name. Both ways are rather ugly.
2. Workflow flaw: to remove an item from an outfit you have to switch from "My Outfits" sidebar tab to "Inventory", why not allow removing items on the Outfits tab?
3. Let's talk about mesh, baby... lalala... *sing*
   1. What kind limitations meshes have? How they are converted to prim counts?
   2. Can you create your own avatar mesh?
   3. Can use current bones/armature of LL avatar mesh in your avatar meshes?
   4. Can you hide part of verticles by textures (like using alpha texture)?
   5. How are physical collision handles with meshes?
   6. Is your bear going to be mesh bear?
   7. Will open beta start in 2 weeks, or later?
4. VWR-22972
5. Bluesteel - what's in the new sim?
6. ADD YOUR TOPICS HERE!
