Meshes!

Ok Guys as you probably noticed , Meshes have been arrived at the Aditi Grid , the Test Server , you can upload your Meshes which must be in Collada (.dae) format easily , its toooootal simple , just make your object , export it as collada and upload it , no more preparing a UV map doing stuff here and there and watching the Vertice Limit....its gone people...ITS GONE!, you can even Rig the Mesh to your Avatar!!! that means ....yes! new forms ,shapes ...whole new Avatars much more detailed than the LL one ever could!, the dark side of this Feature is its cost , Meshes will cost much L$ depending on how complex your Mesh is (how much vertices/triangles it has). You can make own UV Textures , you can make one whole avatar with one Mesh! or with a few!, you can make new awesome deforming clothes which will bend and stretch with your body if they´re rigged! AWESOME mh? , yes! Meshes are extremly less Hardware hungry , even with Meshes at the Limit (65.000 vertices) didn´t impact my FPS that much like a single Furry Avatar with sculptys (awesome!) and the best , those meshes can be edited like normal prims , even if they´re rigged to your Avatar! means ...yes! Shiny and Glowy Bodys! xD but ok enough Info , see it yourself!

Thoughs about Meshes + MOAR

You´re probably wondering "oh Niran is unbanned in Kirsten Forums and seems to be active anyway O.o" yes!, i am , because im bored hehe. As we all know (hopefully), meshes will come on 13 Oct. , but how would Avatars look when they would be Meshes , i´ve made a nice Snapshot that probably "fakes" the look of those Mesh Avatars , its NOT edited , its shot in Second Life with Custom Settings

Normal

Can you see those ugly Prim Edges? , you do? really? i too.... they are ugly , VERY UGLY , but luckily its time for them to go , it will take some time but maybe Avatars will look like the Screenshot below in the near future...

Shadowed one

You don´t see those ugly Edges anymore? don´t worry , you don´t need glasses , they are REALLY not existant :) i know its totally "faked" because im standing in Shadows which lightens everything on the same way , but thats how Future Custom Avatars could look like if they´re done right

now the MOAR

ever visited Doomed Ship? No? No Problem! i´ve checked it out , and its build for future graphic settings too! means it contains Projected Lights! and its build not too Light intensive as normal Builder would do, i´ve made Snapshots for all who can´t see it in Maximum Graphic Settings :)
