Pamela Galli Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I uploaded a sofa yesterday, made in Blender. Everything went fine. Today I tried again after making some changes. I get the "Missing" error. Can anyone translate this or suggest a possible cause or solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela Galli Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 I dismantled the sofa into separate meshes. Over half of them get the error when I load each individually. I Googled and only came up with a bunch of posts from this forum. No answers. No Guide to Error messages. I don't know what to do to get some kind of guidance or information from LL. I made a JIRA but I would be very surprised if anyone at LL looked at it. https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-28033 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hibit Spad Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 a couple of possibilities: you left out the medium, low, etc.. LOD level. Apparently SL doesn't like not having an LOD defined. your couch had 3 textures/materials at high but you only had 2 assigned at lower levels. SL needs those same three assigned throughout the lower levels. There is supposed to be a log file that stores these errors try looking for it and see if you don't get more info about the error.

Pamela Galli Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 Thank you. Each object has one material. Yes, the log is mentioned but it does not say whether this is an uploader log or what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwakkelde Kwak Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 It's the SecondLife.log file, force the error then read the file. Last changes are on the bottom, so you'll find the errors there. Finding Log Files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drongle McMahon Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Perhaps this is the problem... By default, when you re-upload a file with the same filename, the uploader will use an ".slm" file, stored on your machine, to fill in many of the details, including the low-LOD meshes. If you have increased the number of separate meshes in the main file, then there will be no equivalent of the additional meshes in the .slm file and you will receive that error. In a single case, you can work around this by finding and deleting the .slm file (it has the same name and location as the main file, but with .slm instead of .dae). For a more lasting solution, you can turn off the slm mechanism in the viewer choosing "Show Debug Parameters" from the Advanced menu, typing MeshImportUseSLM in the box that appears, and setting the value to FALSE. This is a sticky setting that will last until you do a new install. I always turn it off because I find the slm mechanism to be more trouible than it's worth. It's supposed to save you a little typing and clicking, which is negligible compared to the time taken to edit your meshes anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela Galli Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 Thank you Drongle and Kwakkelde. I have discovered what the problem is and, I believe, the definitive fix. The problem is that the meshes in Blender get corrupted. It has happened to me before and I spent much longer figuring out that, no, it was not me, it was Blender. I won't go into all the details of how I determined through exporting and importing into various programs in different formats, but the fix is:' 1. Add a new cube mesh. 2. Apply the data from the corrupted mesh to the new cube mesh. Here are the instructions: http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?189696-One-mesh-won-t-render-%28noob-issue-%29-...-%28 WHEN AND IF LL EVER GETS AROUND TO EXPLAINING ERROR MESSAGES AND GIVING CLUES WHAT TO DO ABOUT THEM, THIS SHOULD BE NEAR THE TOP OF THE LIST. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwakkelde Kwak Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Hmm guess you got negative values here and there then:) ...adding and removing a box is my fix for that anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela Galli Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 Don't know what you mean about negative values. Or adding and removing a box. This fix is effectively the same as rezzing a cube inworld then pasting size data from another prim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela Galli Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 Okay scratch that, as far a definitive. It will work but apparently if you do any editing at all, the mesh becomes corrupted again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwakkelde Kwak Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I guess we were talking about two different things then...thought you made a box in blender, added the other object that was corrupted to it then removed the box again..that will reset some weirdness in the original object (such as a negative volume as a result of mirroring or negative scaling) ... nvm:) Since you apparantly didn't find a satisfying solution...can you post the error(s) from the log?

Pamela Galli Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 Ah did not know about adding a box. The last entry I have from SecondLife.log is Oct 2009. Am I supposed to turn it on somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case is it possible you are using a third party viewer with its own logfile? the thing is updated every time you use SL.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela Galli Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 No, using the beta viewer 3 (along with Phoenix sometimes but not today). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phineas Acker Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Thanks for this thread... I was just getting a similiar thing exporting from 3ds Max. I had an object exported from Revit, cleaned it up in Max, and then imported it. Had to use Tools->RexetXForm, then Collapsed it. That made SL happy. I had checked the log as mentioned above for more details, but it only had listed the framerate recently. Nothing related to the uplad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will work but apparently if you do any editing at all, the mesh becomes corrupted again. I know this is old, but I'll mention this anyways. Of course, I have no clue what might be wrong, but 1 way to kind of reset everything, would be to save the mesh as an OBJ. You can then reimport the OBJ, and the mesh will be devoid of any of the artifacts from previous editing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irvin Schnyder Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I was having the same issue, "Missing Required Level of Detail". I was used to upload mesh and even complex riged models into sl, someday, this weird mensage appears on the upload window. After many tests I realize the problem was not on my model but on the name of the folder my model was when i converted it to collada. The folder name had a '#' characther, i changed the folder name and the upload works again pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaiaGabe SLSGO Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I am here reading this post because I had the same issue in Blender. My fix is , select object in Blender : CTRL A - Rotation.Scale- It worked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callistanull Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 IME in Firestorm if the problem is having missing textured faces, it tells you that specifically; it's a different error from missing level of detail. I get the texture error sometimes on low or very low LODs when I forget to make a triangle of the ones I didn't otherwise need in L/VL - oops.
