- Charlar Linden "I do not expect resource weights calculations to change". I heard from at least 3 Linden over the past 2 weeks that they started the PE limits high because its easier to lower them down later... and obviously now they are not being lowered at all I and MANY others are not satisfied at all. With the current costs and no hope for them coming down sculpties seems vastly superior to anything non AV related... So I guess my question is why did you guys even make mesh if it is inferior to the current stuff in SL? (Moo Spyker)
- Status on maptilegenerator, is the result i see in aditi the final way you want to render meshobjects on maps? (the bunny)
- Which viewer should we test? Which is the latest maintained viewer? Is it mesh-development or snowstorm_viewer-development or Second Life Beta Viewer? [Yuzuru Jewell]
- WE WANT NYX BEARS [Dahlia Trimble]
- I am now on Viewer 3 and, as with the last mesh viewer, there is no mesh upload in mesh enable areas, nor am i able to IM, tp without crashing, or view profiles. This is preventing me from moving forward with mesh. https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/CTS-768 I don't know how many more are in this situation, but it is major for those of us experiencing it. [Eleanora Newell]
- When you say that you can change the joint position, does that mean you can scale the bone? I've tried translating a bone to a different position and that didn't seem to work. [Ashasekayi Ra]
- What is the purpose of the SLM file generated upon upload? After having problems, I found I needed to delete this manually, or else the problems got worse. (Tiberious)
- OS Lib update (Wplfpup Lowenhar / Jusden Jonstone)
- Any chance of CTS-631 being considered after release? It can solve the big mesh = big PE problem.
- (insert question here)
- Explain again the joint offsets/bone lengths, or lack thereof, or how you cant move or rotate bones in a rig...? you can't make quads or anything unless they are in human T-position? you can't make creatures with shortened legs or lengthened arms?
- Any chance we will be able to use the new physics setup for objects made with prims/sculpties, without being "punished" by our objects suddenly being treated as if they was mesh objects? [Motor Loon]
