Marcthur Goosson Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 There is new design of the upload UI in the mesh project viewer.I want to reflect my thoughts about that:- the UI is very very big, it fills up almost half the screen. I so like the compact UI of public viewer.- there are too many mouseclicks to be done and a long way from topleft to bottomright- all the options and buttons are visible in the UI, some of them less used would be better in a pulldown- PE is gone and is now called Land Impact (who will rewrite my manuals)- why do I have to choose "This model represents"? What is the functionality- in my line of work the defaults are always From File, maybe a general chechbox to activate that for all tabs- if the UI has to be THIS big than give the preview more space and place all the buttons closer to eachother, I see a lot of useless space- a tooltip would be convenient to show the filenamepath when hovering over the filenameAny more thoughts or ideas?Marcthur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashasekayi Ra Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I don't have a problem with the size of the UI. But, I would like them to improve the preview window. - Add a real preview for joint offsets along with an example ground plane - Give the user the option of testing skin weights in the preview window with an animation in their inventory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arton Rotaru Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 It took me a long time and many uploads since I noticed the "This model represents" label at all. :matte-motes-bashful-cute-2: At that time the default answer was set to "Avatar mesh" or something like that. So I uploaded a lot of avatar meshes which infact none was an avatar mesh :matte-motes-zipped:. Since today, I forget to choose a category when uploading a mesh in 99 % of the uploads. I just don't see it is there, because I'm so in action clicking so many buttons, dropdowns, tabs, that every unnecessary click will be avoided, for sure. So I think, as long as "This model represents" isn't a required setting to be able to complete the upload, it will be pretty meaningless in the big picture anyway. I think I'm not the only one who is ignoring this, unintended, or not. Reducing the number of clicks would be appreciated. Like when I click on "From File", the dialog should be opened directly. Clicking the Browse button every time as well is pretty annoying. Or a checkbox, as you suggested, to set a default method would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
