Chic Aeon Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 (edited) Original inworld building blocks that come as part of the viewer. These are not as efficient as mesh that can be made in a 3D program BUT the viewer has a built in recognition system so they still work well. The prim cube has many more vertices than a simple mesh cube made in Blender or Maya etc. This was so light would refract more realistically. Prim count can often be lowered by changing the default PRIM status to CONVEX HULL but that only works well with simple shapes (not hollowed or cut) as those can end up having areas you cannot walk into (bad physics). That's a start. Prims are still a viable form of building but mesh has taken over in the "high end" market. http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Primitive Edited May 12, 2017 by Chic Aeon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Deakins Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 (edited) 'Prim' is a shortened way of saying 'primitive'. They come various shapes. If you are on your own land, you can click the ground, or object, and then click 'Build'. You'll see 3 rows of prim shapes in the Build box. If you click one to select it, and then click somewhere, the new prim will appear. They can be manipulated for size and shape, and linked together to make things.

If you are using the SL Viewer type "(worn" without the quotes in the top search area of your inventory window. See if anything sounds odd, something you didn't intend to wear/attach.

LittleMe Jewell Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Still not sure how that would cause you to get kicked off of land. One possibility, if you have scripted items attached and your total script count was too high. I had that happen to me, but I did first receive a pop up window telling me my script count was too high and I would get booted if I didn't reduce it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if landowners start discriminating against prim owners/wears. "MESH ONLY".. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
