1. Clouds and grey and blurry avatars, oh my! [Nyx Linden]
2. Viewer upload issues since v3.2.5 Darien Caldwell 08:42, 5 March 2012 (PST)
3. A question and a complaint I often see is that "Include textures" doesn't seem to actually upload any textures and apply them, as would be expected. It's a minor point for most, just upload separately and apply manually, but why have an option if it doesn't do anything? Is "Include textures" supposed to upload the related textures for the model and apply them? Or does it do something else? - Feynt Mistral 08:49, 5 March 2012 (PST)
4. Another question I hear often is whether SL supports normal/bump/specular maps. During the closed mesh beta we heard talk of a future materials system. Is there any word on whether that's even in planning? If it's "on the stack", is it at least somewhere near the top instead of near the bottom with more and more being piled upon it? - Feynt Mistral 08:49, 5 March 2012 (PST)
5. Collada 1.4 isn't well supported when using more than one texture per mesh (they get mixed). Collada 1.3 still working fine. This problem is easy to reproduce. An OBJ file can be exported using Autodesk FBX Converter 2011.3.1 and FBX Converter 2012 to Collada files. One is possible to upload the other one have errors on textures. I also know some people had this problem too using Maya 2012 and Max 2012 aswell as in olders versions updating the plugin to 2012 version. [Kitsune Shan]
6. The mesh importer dont show "edges" when you check the box. It seems to show them, but in white wich is the same color of the mesh so is impossible to see teh difference. Also happens with the physic shape. It should be also less restrictions to move, zoom and pan the mesh. (An only wireframe option could be useful too) [Kitsune Shan]
