# {{jira|VWR-23500}} - Seamless sculpted prim transitions/updates - [[User:Haravikk Mistral|Haravikk Mistral]]
# your topic here!
# Qarl's "Prim Alignment" Tool - will we be getting one? http://www.qarl.com/qLab/?p=66 ({{jira|STORM-468}})
# Licensing issues concerning mesh import. This is a matter that may considerably slow down mesh adoption. It would be in the interest of LL to provide advice to TPV devs on how to resolve this issue.
# There are reasons why many creators use TPVs rather than V2. It sure sounds like TPVs will have a hard time supporting creators as we move forward. For example, in the move to OpenJPEG some/many Mac users lost the ability to upload sculpts in one viewer. To whom should our viewer/creator-concerns be directed, how do we reach those individuals and what should we be doing to assure that our voice is heard?
# In deferred rendering, 8-bit alpha textures are omitted from shading and don't match up to alpha-less textures. Are their plans to eventually fix this? Alot of content depends on varied partial transparency. - [[User:Adeon Writer|Adeon Writer]]
# As we all know, there are countless online resources for mesh online. So, the chances of stolen content appearing will be greater than before. What are LL's plans to make users more accountable for the mesh they upload?  Will there be account limitations? Pricer upload fees?
# A lot of avatar heads and faces have for years now had blinking eyes and basic expressions as the norm. The status quo is currently to do this via swapping sculpts. While there is a resource drain, not having an equivalent functionality in mesh is a real problem, and the 'proper' solution (custom bones) seems a long way off. (Or are they?) Alpha setting of submeshes is problematic due to it requiring far more states to set which can get out of order. This leaves meshes in a state of limbo as far as functionality equivalent to sculpts in avatar creation. This aspect may be more important than and more used than LL realizes. If LL is getting rid of UUID swapping, will there be a stop gap measure to allow equivalent functionality? [[User:Michi Lumin|Michi Lumin]]
# Do we know what happened to Mesh Sandbox 1? [[User:Drongle McMahon|Drongle McMahon]] 19:09, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
# [https://lists.secondlife.com/pipermail/opensource-dev/2010-October/004364.html mesh-development viewer build broken].
#* Well on 64bit, which isn't officially supported (yet?), but still ...
#* Some fixes available (see issues in linked mail)
