This video is loaded with meaty good information. A lot of how things are working is explained. Well worth the time to listen if you are trying to work with Bento or non-Bento animations.
0:00 – Troy Linden talks about fixing mesh uploader’s LoD generator.
3:30 – Vir Starts meeting. Notices new avatar models. Continue reading
This is an interesting update on the current bugs and progress on the head bones. Matrice Laville, the programmer for AvaStar speaks about several issues.
One of the people working with Bento is totally frustrated. She provides us a textbook case of victimization and projection. Wow. She is having problems with the Bento Collada file in the SL Wiki dated Aug 6th. Even after several people downloaded and checked the file during the meeting then told her the file was complete but had bone position issues, which were talked about earlier, she couldn’t hear them.

I couldn’t make it to the Bento meeting this week. Inara did and wrote a good write up with audio bits: SL project updates 16 29/2: viewer, Bento week 20 with audio.
Vir Linden, lead on Project Bento, is on vacation this week and next. But, other Lindens from the project made it to the meeting.
There was a roll out to the main channel this week, Tuesday. This is another of those minor internal improvements.
We stand for pee – Nal: It’s a new world…

This is the post user group meeting. This is discussion between the various developers. Matrice Laville, AvaStar programmer, is speaking. Cathy Foil, MayaStar developer, is there.
There are some places where I’ve time adjusted the play back to shorten the play time.
I finally made it to a Bento Meeting… YAY!
There is a second video of the post-meeting. Also for the next couple of weeks Vir Linden is on vacation. There will still be UG meetings. These will be mostly for user-developers to discuss problems. Coyot Linden (not a furry) will be there to pass along issues and question to Vir.
I’m uploading the post-meeting now.
Medhue has another video showing how sliders are working.
As I understand it, one has to use the Bento Experimental viewer to see this as it is in the video. The Experimental viewer is different than the Project viewer. See: AvaStar Update: 2.0 Alpha-4 & Project Bento.
AFAIK there was no Bento meeting this week. I was stuck in traffic as Cal trans repaired guard rails today. So, no video.
However, there is movement. See the article: AvaStar Update: 2.0 Alpha-4 & Project Bento.
