# Concerning triangle counts reported on the statistics bar: Turning of everything except Simple and Volume in Advanced->Render Types and looking at just a single subdivided cube with 12288 triangles: with Shadows off, the triangle count is 12KTro, as expected. Switching on shadows adds 50KTris (approx 4x 12288) giving 62 KTris. Then adding each of two projected lights adds 12K per light. Given that there is an extra set of triangles per shadow-casting light source, and allowing one for the moon (it was midnight), where are the three extra sets of 12K triangles getting used?

Revision as of 16:00, 10 April 2014
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.
Mondays at Noon in Pacific time (SL standard time) at Borrowdale on AGNI
Also see the calendar of public user group meetings.
