side note Why is it if i created a mesh box, cylinder, sphere, triangle, exc why is the mesh upload being triangulated when creating a raw prim in game is not? If you guys would stop the system from triangulating every area and creating more polygons the LOD would be able to remain at a "Normal LVL" by triangulating every area on a build big or small the polygon count's are doubled so a sphere that has say 100 polygons now becomes 200 polygons there for rasing the LOD and the Prim count do to complexity of object.
What just happened?
Every time i go to upload a mesh build in to Second life 1) it keeps giving me different prim counts each time i go to re-upload the object without changing the settings. Even when i lower the LOD a little or generate normal the prim count goes up instead of down like it use to do. 2 ) there is no way to keep a 3d model at a reasonable detail when we have restrictions placed and the system placed a higher prim count then before.
What were you doing when it happened?
uploading mesh
What were you expecting to happen instead?
I expected that with firestorm claiming that the builders are slowing down computers with dive bombing the LOD on server side that you guys would make it where our builds would come in at a reasonable prim count without having to lower the LOD in the uploading process.
Other information
Ever since Phoenix Firestorm created an attack on builders. And it is an attack by saying that 1) We are slowing computers by lowering the LOD of mesh uploads. and 2) By placing a warning when people using firestorm raises their LOD to see our builds proper that they should not raise their LOD and should instead find another object that will look proper without raising the LOD. My friend and i have to go back to every mesh model we made and re upload it costing us more money to try and make people see it correctly without having to screw with the LODfactor on their end. Now i don't know about you but when purchasing something like furniture, vehicles, exc the lower the prim count the more willing they will go for that item when they are living on a sim that is not giving them 30k prims but 1500 prims for their little area or even full size community sims where every prim counts. I have taken this up with Firestorm developers that brushed it off and in so many words made it sound like i am an idiot for stating that there is no evidence of a long term effect by raised client side LOD and slowing a computer. There for what i will expect if this is to be the norm is that you guys will need to compensate for the disruption they are creating and now the time and stress and extra cost the builders have to change every thing in our stores to match their ideals of forcing a 2.0 LOD on their users. We tried their new viewer and it failed so now we need you guys to step up and make a difference either by lowering the prim cost on all mesh uploads or allowing us to lower the LOD and make the 3rd party viewers play ball and on client side LOD set to 7 where they can see the lowered LOD builds properly.
