Overview

Prim Mapper is a UV mapping program for Second Life primitives, designed to sit somewhere in the middle of a workflow between Second Life and professional texturing or modeling applications.

Status

A proof of concept has been developed far enough to lay out the roadmap, but a lot of development is still ahead. The code can be found in the libprimrender module of libsecondlife SVN if you want to preview or help with development. Once some of the major features are working binaries will be released for different platforms.

TODO

  • [libprimrender] Per face rendering
    • Add*() functions and using them
    • Better PrimMesh class/struct that stores everything
    • CreateVolumeFaces()
    • Option parameters to GenerateMesh() for generating faces and normals
      • Setting faces to false could instead generate a single "face" that is the entire prim vertex and index lists
  • Show each of the prims loaded and each of their faces in the GUI dropdowns
  • Color the currently selected face differently
  • Simple (non-material) OBJ export
  • Export actual textures with ExportCommand
    • Export objects and textures to a folder
  • Read JPEG2000 images instead of TGA
  • Texture mapping in OpenGL that matches the SL viewer
    • Fix edge case texture mapping bugs
  • Selection rectangles
    • Load selection rectangles from decoded TextureEntry data
    • Modify TextureEntry and texture mapping by modifying the selection rectangles
  • Full OBJ export with mtllib
  • Save selection rectangles to texture
  • Save Prim XML with modified TextureEntry
