2013/04/04 by Nalates Urriah

For some months now there has been a problem of some prims not rendering. You can walk into them or on them. But, you cannot see them until you right click on them. With this current server release the problem seems to have gotten worse. Inara Pey has an article up with more details: Missing” … Read more

I see this morning that Loki Eliot has a post up titled: The Secrets of Mesh Landimpact. If you are not into the techy details and math, this would be a good article to read to get an idea of how the new Land Impact Costs work with mesh objects. It isn’t that Loki doesn’t … Read more

Mesh Deformer Update 2013-14

2013/04/02 by Nalates Urriah

Don’t get excited. There is no ETA on the Deformer nor is the project moving. However there is a new Project Viewer out (273384). You can find the link to it on the left column. (SL Mesh Deformer) Oz merged in the CHUI code.

About the only thing that has changed is the drama in the JIRA thread STORM-1716. We get more and more uninformed people commenting. Anyone reading the last couple of screens will be completely confused now. I tried to correct some of that mess.

Some think the Deformer doesn’t or mesh clothes won’t work with Avatar Physics. That is just plain old uninformed. It works just fine. Yay, Karl!

Some think they have ‘tried’ it and seen it NOT work. I’ll have to ask if the old deformer clothes have been removed from Hippotropolis… or wherever it is they are. Because those old clothes do NOT work with the current Mesh Deformer. Only the clothes uploaded with the latest version of the Deformer work. Then only when the clothes are uploaded with the Deformer flag set to enabled, which is not the case for most mesh clothes. That shows even more how little some of the comment contributors know.
