Physics: 32 Object limit

[Zamboi Bracken]

Previously limits for physics were 32 objects/prims. So if I wanted 2 seated avatars I would have 30 objects/prims for physics to be enabled. I remember LL planned to exclude avatars from the 32 object/prim limit for physics. Can someone confirm if this is implemented??

This limit has been lifted a long time ago already. Physical objects can have 32 prims plus (in theory) 224 sitting avatars. I however don't know how things turn out with the new physics-less prims/meshes, i.e. if they are counted against that 32-prim limit or not. (Beware that using physics-less prims implies counting things in Prim-Equivalent.)

Thanks for the info Boa, I did not know that limit was lifted.

The new question is can I have say 200 mesh prims with no physics shape attached to a Main prim with a physics shape and still be physics enabled?

[Zamboi Bracken]

Just did some test and basically the Physics weight needs to be 32 period. You can have as many mesh prims or non-physics mesh prims as you want. Thanks again

I have also confirmed this.

I created a mesh motorcycle that was 60 PE.   I set everything in it to None, except the root prim.

Physics weight was now 1.2 while PE was 60.  The bike functioned but the fact that the tires were not physical was a problem.  I then set the tires to convex hull, physics went to 4.9, and road it again.  Bingo!!  The bike road like a dream.

I also noticed that when I rez this new mesh bike it rezed almost immediately verses a similar sculpy bike that took up to 30 seconds to rez in the same location.  My conclusion is that Mesh and the new Physics limits is going to work very nicely for vehicles.
