Agenda

Agenda for the next user group meeting is:


Please add topics below prior to 11:50 AM. Also, please put your SL name down so we can follow up if we have questions. Thanks!

Enter agenda items here (with name, please)

  1. It has already been explained that scripts add to the PE count. The question remains: how much _exactly_ do they add? What's the underlying calculation? [Domsson Lean, PMan Parabola]
  2. Joining submeshes prior to upload results in a higher PE than uploading them as a linkset. This seems to be due to the more differentiated LOD calculation; still it is confusing since you would assume that one joined mesh would result in less PE than several meshes, linked together (= more server load). Is there some documentation (or any additional information) available on this topic? [Domsson Lean]
  3. When uploading a mesh made of several submeshes, it seems their dimensions have to match exactly across all LOD models - otherwise they are sized to match the highest LOD model, will can result in unwanted distortion. Is there a way to avoid that resizing, other than to join the meshes before uploading? [Domsson Lean]
  4. There is a "Texture" option in the upload dialog, but it never seems to upload or apply textures automatically. I'm forced to upload manually and apply textures. The COLLADA file shows the texture names applied in the file itself, though it would appear to be using a relative path rather than an absolute one. Is this a placeholder option for now, is the uploader just not liking relative file names and paths, or is there some other trick to getting textures to upload and apply? [Feynt Mistral]
  5. In a recent JIRA I posted (SH-2433) regarding the COLLADA format change in the newest versions of Blender from graphicall.org, I also mentioned that animations don't update in real time in the preview window and that clicking the joint positions option doesn't update the preview window to use those positions, forcing us to upload a mesh to get a true view of how it looks. The final activity (according to the jira bot email updates) for that entry occurs after I mention this issue. Does this mean they will work again in a newer client? [Feynt Mistral]
  6. When can we expect a new stable version of viewer 2 to be released? [Feynt Mistral]
  7. I can't set Medium and Low LOD Collada file which have single face. When I set Medium LOD Collada file, "Culculate weights & fee" button was turned to unenabled. I can uplead it on Viewer 3.0.0, but I can't upload them on Viewer 3.0.5. I can upload Collada file which have multiple faces on Viewer 3.0.5. [Yuzuru Jewell]
  8. Why can't we log straight into Mesh HQ 2? [Drongle McMahon]
  9. How long will there continue to be be a separate Mesh Project viewer? [Drongle]
