Hmm the only difference between both files is in the scale of the boxes/phys planes. Try scaling all down and resetting the xforms. Other than that .. mystery

Did you clicked "Analyze" and set it to Prim ? Mine are blue. I will quote Drongle here: “I don’t know the actual numbers, but the color indicates the magnitude of the physics weight, that is the strain it puts on the physics engine. Blue is nice and simple, going from green to yellow to orange to red as the weight becomes excessive. It shows you that the default convex hull is smaller than it should be!”

Hello, There is no need those two planes to be separate meshes. Attach them together and all will be okay. One box <-> one phys shape. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/62119361/box%20party.rar (created in Max) Regards

So I was able to increase my teapot linkset to 9.3Mil tris. (yay). I've set my RenderVolumeLODFactor to 0.00 and was able to attach it 20 times ( just for test ) on the same attachment point - right hand. The resulted tris count should be 186Mil. When I made my RenderVolumeLODFactor back to 4 and tried to zoom , I crashed on 20Mil tris. So I can walk around with this "bomb" with my LOD factor set to 0, and anyone who is stupid enough to zoom at me is down.. This will be great for jumping out of a cake and crashing all guests

Haha yea, I've made the test on an empty sim Still, I see no reason for designers to make optimized meshes for attachments. I always thought lindens are trying to make new users to stay, but how to explain to a newbie that he/she is lagged like hell because the freebie he/she is wearing is 2Mil tris... Attachment limits need to be placed. This will force designers to make better and more optimized meshes.

Hello, Now I know there are no limits with attachments but this is insane.. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/836/snapshot001i.jpg/ The PE of those rezzed is ~11K. I've noticed that some of the teapots disapear when I zoom-in, so I assume some sort of render limits kicks-in. But Show Render Info still shows 7840K tris. So I'm walking around streaming vertex positions for 11K PE....

Can't upload Mesh - hangs after Calculate Weights & fee

Holy cow, it's fixed ) Great job, thanks!! -
Can't upload Mesh - hangs after Calculate Weights & fee
Maniac Choche replied to Fianna Idora's topic in Mesh
I'm having the same problem with one of my test objects. Here is the Jira: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/CTS-707? Problem is still present with the latest viewer build. Best regards -
[Feature Request] Skinning with Dual Quaternions
Maniac Choche replied to Maniac Choche's topic in Mesh
Actually there is no need for support inside your 3d software of choice. It's cool to have one to be able to see the result in real-time, but the method only interprets the data that is already inside the COLLADA in a different way ( current is linear ). That why the implementation should be easy ( *guessing here* ), because the changes will be only inside the SL Viewer's vertex shaders. Because of the more complex calculations this can slow down the rendering a bit, but in comparison to the other available methods ( log-matrix and spherical blending ) this one is really fast. The current practical fix for "candy wrapping" problem is to add extra bones ( twist bones ) to the skeleton. This can't be achieved in SL at this point. So dual quaternions can be a cheap way to avoid those problems and it can be available only to users on Ultra graphic settings, for example. -
I've already created a Jira about it. According to the papers the implementation is very simple and only on a shader level. Most of the leading 3D packages already have plugins to support it. https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/CTS-724 Share your thoughts :)

Provide more info. Viewer version , 3d soft used , cube resolution etc , or people will start guessing Best regards

How are we supposed to market Mesh prim count?
Maniac Choche replied to Flea Yatsenko's topic in Mesh
Hello, One other choice is to provide demos of your products. Demo textures, no mod with resize script. Mesh objects are much more difficult to steal and even if the thief is successful he/she needs to have "payment info on file" in order to reupload the model and to pay for it. So providing demos will be much more safer. Best regards -
Okay my uploading tests (same steps like in your second comment on SH-2045): Five attempts: 1. 3.196 2. 3.196 3. 3.167 4. 3.595 5. 3.869 There is definitely something wrong .. Best regards
-
I see the exact same numbers in Mesh City ( like in your object descriptions). Didn't tested the upload, yet.

Seeking a bit of info/resources for mesh development
Maniac Choche replied to Psistorm Voxel's topic in Mesh
Hello Psistorm, On question 1 try this: http://wiz-bg.blogspot.com/2010/12/second-life-avatar-to-autodesk-3ds-max.html or http://www.lldexler.com/forum/ Best regards -
Well no matter what is merged, the streamed information for a 1024 vertex mesh is several times bigger than a 1024 vertex sculpty. With a sculpty you get only vertex positions for the highest LOD all rest is calculated by the viewer. That's why sculpties was invented to ease the streaming cost not the FPS. It's logical that LL cares more about their internet costs than our FPS. Best regards

Gaia Clary wrote: But how does this match up with the fact that i can make meshes which use much less resources in terms of triangles, LOD, etc... compared to equivalent builds with regular prims/sculpted prims. Maybe the problem is related in the amount of streamed information? For example: - regular prims have fixed normals , fixed UVs , all those are not streamed - all information related to a sculpty object is hold in a very compressed image file I've made a very rude test with a sculpty: In it's native JPEG2000 format the size is ~4k. Same sculpty in uncompressed .dae is 1.05Mb. Since i have no clue what type of compression LL will use internally I've used RAR just to see how much i can compress it. I came up with something like 57kb and best possible compression settings. The differences are quite big , but the amount of information is more too. And let's not forget custom created LODs and Physics all those have UVs , normals , vertex positions etc. It's not just one DAE. Best regards p.s .dae file have tons of tags that are probably ignored and not streamed

Help Us Test the SL Web Viewer Beta
Maniac Choche commented on Kim Linden's blog entry in Featured News
Hello, The most probable reason for rejecting is the response time to Gaikai servers ( actually Amazon Cloud servers). Some ISPs , even in EU have direct peering to amazon, that's why some EU users can participate in the beta. There is no matter if you have 5Mbits or 50, if your latency to Gaikai is >100ms. Just go to http://www.gaikai.com/demo/login and signup for beta tester , the site will tell you why you don't qualify. And LL , please clear those things in the initial post. Many people will get offended from the rejection. Best regards -
@DanielRavenNest.Noe please stop pasting this link. It's a Russian website created few months ago. And it's a clearly a scam. http://whois.domaintools.com/crystal-downloads.com

You keep give the avatar mesh for example. Not sure why .. The mesh limit is 60k for polygons. Is there will be prim limit for attachments ? If not i will use 60k mesh for my whole new human avatar and this will be my higher resolution, second LOD 30k, second one 15k , and the last one 7500. Nobody will care about prim count , like nobody cares that avatar hair is 255 prims. I won't argue more on this topic , it's pointless , i don't have the first hand information Time will show. I really hope that economy will survive and LL looked at all those issues and have ideas.

Hah , and why i should lower it to 900 , when one prim will equal 4096 vertices ? I never said automatic optimization is better than manual? But it's there .. and it will help people to bring up hi-poly models in SL. And that is the topic we discuss , not precission or clean topology.
