I am not saying right now but way down the road. It is totally a possibility. OK, once more. Prims ARE mesh. Everything in SL is mesh. However we say prims vs. mesh to distinguish between the inworld creating method and the outside of SL creation method. I don't think anyone would argue that it would be wonderful if the inworld building system were improved. But your original post is advocating doing away with anything created inworld and using only mesh created outside of SL. That is what I was responding to. Nooooo, lol. My original post didn't come across as well worded as I wanted it to be. I will never say do away with the ability to create your own stuff because I love that concept. But my first response to you was what I was trying to say.

Oh, youre talking about CLOTHES. This whole time I have been talking about furniture, houses, home decor, trees, landscaping, etc.

And yeah, laying out a box (or a shape from the building tool for that matter) and is way too easy and simple. Same with stretching and such. The basic build engine is incredibly simplified. Yeah, I don't think I'd like to come in here and post a load of rubbish, and then have someone find me inworld either. Sort of takes the fun out of it a bit. But seriously, have you ever tried building with prims? It isn't just stretching. You need to put in values (twist, taper, top shear etc) to get just the right shape, and for flexi (something you can't get with mesh) you need to play around with gravity, softness, wind etc). It takes learning and practice. All my old prim items still sell very well, and whenever I think of converting them to mesh I decide no. My boats can be seen from a far distance, and they have that solidness about them. I also have many offsim structures made with prims (and sculpties). The point of offsims is that you want to see it at a distance. It has to be big, like an island, mountain, shipwreck or a lighthouse. It's not easy to get this effect with mesh because big mesh equals high LI, and if it isn't high LI then it will vanish too quickly. People are still buying old prim and sculptie items, and they are happy with it, so this speaks for itself. Oh. It takes learning and practice. Like Blender? Seriously, I'm not against people buying the old stuff still. I simply think mesh should be the way to go.

Deltango Vale wrote: Haha. Sure, mesh is easy to learn if you have an undergraduate degree in computer science from MIT and a Master's in object design modelling from Stanford. No problem. It also helps if you are independently wealthy to afford the leisure time to spend 20 million hours learning Blender. As for the rest of us normal proles, not a chance. Or you could, ya know, watch some tutorials on youtube and even google some more. Here, I'll help get ya started https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=blender+tutorial https://www.google.com/#q=blender+tutorials I would do at least 1 tutorial a day.

Now I am a bit biased because I'm a hardcore mesh addict and I like to have my items, objects, clothes and myself look nice. But a lot of people it seems still prefer (and alot of designers continue to make) non-mesh stuff. Why? Mesh is more realistic, better looking, resizeable, and is much lower in prim/land cost. Do you think there should be a push to make SL 100% mesh? So many assumptions and part truths here. You sound like a graduate from the school of "If It's Mesh Its Got To Be Good." For every crappy prim you can find I can find you a piece of crappy mesh. Maybe you just haven't seen a lot of what a truely talented Prim Artist can do. Sadly there seem to be fewer and fewer in SL. How much I wish the Nemo or Alpha & Omega Sims were still here. Thye were technically marvelous works of art. And while granted you may be able to do more for lower Land Impact with Mesh, Land Impact is a server side measure. It does not tell us what really should be our bigger concerns, Avatar Rendering Complexity and Mesh Rendering Weight. That's what's happening Client side and where people really have the problems they encounter. Oh, I could go on and on here. In fact I could postulate that Mesh has done more to hurt SL than it has helped and make a pretty good case for it. In fact in some if not many cases Mesh has degraded and not enhanced peoples Imagination. eta:Shpelling Honestly, I have NEVER seen a piece of "crappy" mesh. Compared to prim-made objects? ANY mesh made thing would look 10x better. Now, thats not to say ALL Prim Artists are terrible. I'm still a fan of AXL Pro. The guy has skills in home building and I own A LOT of his homes. BUT... Compared to Maven Homes? Yeah, no. I switched to Maven because the houses cost less in prim and looked a bazillion times better. Sorry im not sorry. I still buy AXL's cars though...which are 100% mesh, lol. I'm not saying mesh is perfect but c'mon...You seriously cannot stay in 2007 forever. Mesh is a very much needed graphic upgrade.

Christin73 wrote: There are just some things that you just can't do with mesh. For instance, certain mesh can't be linked. and when it is linked it ups the prims considerably. Also one thing bout some mesh buildings is it won't let you rez inside the building. Some of the newer mesh buildings have gotten better about rezzing inside but still some out there that cant. I think a combonaiton of mesh and prims works out the best. Alot of my buildings are a combonaiton of the 2. Mesh is still relatively new and yeah, there are a few annoying kinks. I'm not particularly fond of partial mesh but I have bought a few things when all other options were prim which is really unnacceptable to me. To me, most prim stuff looks way too old school. I mostly go by looks and prim count. And mesh wins both by far. As for the linking, I have found that prim cost varies. Sometimes it takes a lot of prim and sometimes it doesn't. Like fences and walls. I also know that some 100% mesh looks way better than others. Those are the ones I typically buy and iv'e never had a problem with high prim when linking. Also sometimes, with fences and walls for example, its better to use individuel parts than linking them all to keep prim count down but overall, still cheaper in prim cost than using prim stuff mostly.

You didn't seem to be in the mood to chat, as you kept asking how I found it when I was looking for the now-vanished club you were advertising the grand opening of two months ago. Spawning shapes, clicking and stretching is actually a not-uncommon way to use professional 3D programs - it's how Vectorworks behaves, for instance. And, after I took a quick peek, Blender itself for that matter, right down to the tri-colored vector display. There are no style points for making something unnecessarily complicated. The measure of a build is the build itself. Most tools can seem simple once you learn how to make them work, but are difficult until you do. It's the same with scripting a door, or running a club. You cannot be serious. If someone is talking to you in IM, that generally means they are, in fact, in the mood to chat. And I have had a lot of visitors so was curious. I see now harm in that. I wasn't being rude or anything, simply inquiring. You just completely ignored me which is rather rude.

Its too easy. Too simple. We need to keep expanding our minds and learning new things. That's not what you are saying at all. You are saying:- "Do you think there should be a push to make SL 100% mesh?" (See your opening post) But it's good to see that you are now backtracking as a result of the replies to your post Um no? I'm not backtracking at all. I fully stand behind everything ive said. When I asked that question, I was not meaning LL. I was reffering to the community. Because, you know, SL is a user generated content community so it would make sense to push mesh WITHIN the community itself.

Mesh is most certainly NOT easily learned and it IS a very difficult thing to grasp -- except for those who only upload rather than make it. 2. Who is this "we" ? Expand your own mind and learn whatever you want but in SL people can do what they want, not what someone else says they "need" to do -- unless you are talking about something that breaks TOS or in some way prevents others from enjoying their SL. For some, not all. And "we" as in, ALL of us. Are you actually saying that its not a good thing to learn new things and expand your knowledge? Really!? Yeah, you can do almost whatever you want here in SL but that doesn't mean you have to settle for something that looks like it was made in prehistoric early 2000's. Like Day 1 SL.

I will pay someone to come over to my sim and help me with my gate...I have messed with it for hours now and I just can't get it to work. Ive bought numerous scripts and none work because the gate door always open up or down and never actually swings outward like it should. I think it may have something to do with the axl or something, I dont know. Please help me because its driving me up a wall. PM me in-world and give me your price: chrismaky Thank you.
