Content Creation/Mesh Import User Group
Currently topics are focused on anything related to the mesh import project. Feature requests, bug reports, design feedback, questions, comments, or example content are welcome.
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)
Next meeting scheduled for: August 22, 2011 at Mesh Sandbox 5 on AGNI
Also see the calendar of public user group meetings.

Agenda for the next user group meeting is:
NOTE: You must join the group "Mesh Volunteers" in order to access the mesh sandboxes.
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!

- Mesh objects with physics shape type prim switch silently to physics shape type convex hull when any dimension becomes less than 0.5m, but standard prims subject to PE accounting by linkage to mesh do not. This allows extremely high physics costs. I was able to make a linkset with more than 15,000 PE by linking a simple mesh cube to three 4-turn, hollow, profile cut toruses. It was immediately returned and could not then be rezzed in an empty sandbox. Is this a deliberate difference? or should this switch be applied to PE-accounted standard prims to prevent catastrophic returns? [Drongle McMahon]
- I know it is too early in the process for the materials project to start. But, I just wanted to let you guys know that there is a material/shader wishlist on the forums [Ashasekayi Ra]: http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Mesh/Materials-Project-Wishlist/td-p/1057107
- Which mesh features are currently being worked on since mesh has been officially released? [Ashasekayi Ra]
- Recently I made a post in the mesh "forums" about not being able to upload my tree, measuring at its longest 241m (the Z axis). This object was giving me crashs rather than reporting errors most of the time, but when it finally did remain stable and show me an error box, it stated it was over 256m. The reasoning was mentioned in patch notes I learned, but I wonder a) Why it says 256m when it should now be 240m (unless an importer fix is forthcoming to allow 256m on a side per upload), and b) Why it bothers to check the Z axis at all when importing, since we've got essentially unlimited height to work with in a sim.

- mesh sandboxes being retired; we need to find a new permanent home for this user group. Any ideas/preferences? [Charlar Linden]
- Does Charlie have time left for anything but manuall enabling peoples's mesh capability? [Drongle]
- We still can't edit people's attached, rigged meshes. Will this be enabled at some point? Seems like a picking issue. [Feynt Mistral]
- MESH (Moo Spyker)
- Who do we offer potential knowlege base stuff to? [Drongle]
- I found the case that the PE of big object is Smaller than the PE of small object. [Yuzuru Jewell]
- PE, y u no consistent? http://www.myfacewhen.net/uploads/605-y-u-no-guy.jpg [Feynt Mistral]
