Description

Many of my glTF test meshes show issues in Atlasaurus (Second Life Release 7.1.9.9620320242). The issues are present in many meshes of various sizes from small to large. They include missing mesh parts, out of place and wrongly scaled or rotated mesh parts (see example Pisten Bully), single faces not displaying (front textured face of Blast wall), etc. The meshes display wrongly whether freshly opened onto a prim, or whether uploaded, saved to inventory and rezzed from there.

Two simple (full perm to allow for testing) examples illustrating the issues are located on the Beta grid at secondlife://Aditi/secondlife/Rumpus%20Room%202048/150/145/23

The glTF meshes all display fine in Blender 4.1.1, the Khronos glTF Sample Viewer and Windows 3D Viewer, and also in the current release viewer (with local preview fresh upload mode), and some earlier glTF development and test viewers with GLTF Upload capability up to around 20-June-2024. Example working viewers include:

• Second Life Project Gltf Development 7.1.9.9491082776
• Second Life Release 7.1.9.9555137545 (Maintenance C RC)
• Second Life Release 7.1.9.9604591078 (WebRTC RC)
• Second Life Test 7.1.9.9648196823

Reproduction steps

1. Go to secondlife://Aditi/secondlife/Rumpus%20Room%202048/150/145/23 (as at 27-Jun-2024)
2. Observe glTF meshes are not displaying correctly. They are full perm so may be copied for testing.
3. Blast wall, examine front face, which is missing.
4. Pisten Bully - many parts missing, moved, rotated and scaled incorrectly.

Just a note that the glTF meshes are still broken in world in the recent Second Life Develop 7.1.9.9895347634. This occurs on even very simple glTF meshes (154KB .glb, 1 mesh part, 2812 triangles, 2 materials, no transparency).

Retested and issue still present in Atlasaurus RC - Second Life Release 7.1.9.9981869229.

Full perm examples that display incorrectly are still available on 23-Jul-2024 at secondlife://Aditi/secondlife/Rumpus%20Room%202048/150/145/23

An extra relatively simple NASA 3D Model of the Mars Ingenuity Helicopter also added. Full perm again to act as a test model. Only 2.7MB .glb, 11 mesh parts, 9K triangles. But it does not display correctly.

As at 9-Aug-2024, the glTF models works fine in the WebRTC RC (Second Life Release 7.1.9.10084807842 ) but not in Atlasaurus (Second Life Release 7.1.9.10220184061).

[aiaustin]

Update: 7.1.9.10325451220 - WebRTC Voice RC at 14-Aug-2024 is okay to use. But Atlasaurus 7.1.9.10326512121 at 13-Aug-2024 is broken.

I think that RunitaiLinden (Davep) over on the Discord channel said this was due to some limitations introduced in handling transforms (via the GPU) that he was exploring and a separate issue related to textured faces missing due to the handling of vertex normals.

If its useful, an earlier glTF Development viewer continues to work properly... including with glTF meshes save to inventory and rezzed back in world... Second Life Project Gltf Development 7.1.9.9491082776

Update 26-Aug-2024. Checked out Second Life Release 7.1.9.10515727195 - Atlasaurus (26-Aug-2024) and this issue is still present.
