[New Feature]: Bounding Box Physics for Linked Mesh Sets To Reduce Upload Costs and Land Impact

Environment

[Release Alchemy Beta 7.1.9.2492 (64 Bit)

Description

What does this feature do? This feature ensures that the selection physics for the bounding box viewer with applies to the entire linked set of meshes, rather than just one linked item. It replicates the behavior of the original Firestorm viewer, where the bounding box accurately encompasses all linked items during the mesh upload process.

Why is it needed? Currently, in the Alchemy Beta viewer, the selection physics for the bounding box is only applied to a single linked item instead of the entire set. This results in significantly higher upload costs and increased land impact for creators who rely on this functionality for their primary tasks. By addressing this issue, creators can efficiently use the Alchemy viewer (without having to switch to Firestorm every time) without incurring additional costs or land impact penalties, thereby facilitating a smoother and more cost-effective workflow.

I've attached a screenshot of the example Alchemy viewer / Firestorm Viewer

Oh okay awesome!

However, I just checked the latest SL viewer (Second Life Release 7.1.9.9555137545 (64bit), and it seems they have not fixed it. Unless I am doing something wrong...

It should be in this https://releasenotes.secondlife.com/viewer/7.1.9.9981869229.html which is still a release candidate.

Oh okay thanks!, didn't see it~

This has been fixed upstream and will be releasing in the future. Closing.
