what's up with the latest viewers and sculpty?

[Jonna Korhonen]

I am seeing multiple problems with sculpty not rezzing correctly. Others are reporting alpha problems too.

Sculpty will rez and de-rez depending on camera distance and server, also showing up as just a black blob on other servers.

Here is a pic of a pair of shoes I love that use a sculpt transparent mask and it is showing up as a black blob now.

What is your LOD set to?

You didn't really think that LL would manage to implement mesh without breaking something else, did you?

[Catwise Yoshikawa]

oh, nice, still have alpha problems? I had to go back to 2.7.2 cause 2.7.4 have this problem with alphas and none of my sculpts load, but still this bug in the last one? :matte-motes-angry:

Take a look at https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-26347? If that's your issue, it's a bug in the current V2 download (v2.7.5 (235722)).  You may want to add your own good documentation to help LL's developers figure out how to fix it.

I did some poking around and it is the basic shader snafu.

Basic shaders off resolves the problem but then, no shaders...

Second Life 2.8.1 (236154) Jul 20 2011

Yup, that's what I suspected.  It's apparently fixed in the 2.8 beta, and was never broken in the third part viewers, so there are alternatives if you don't want to limp along without basic shaders until LL does a full release of 2.8.
