I realized I haven't written in this blog in quite awhile but life in both worlds kind of grabbed me lately. I apologize for that to my readers.
Now I would like to touch on the new SL Viewer 3 that enables that mesh which is being spoken about a lot these days. I recently had to return to SL Viewer after being on the third party viewers for such a long time. However as this mesh part comes into play it is ruining the experience that is Second Life. I feel they have forgotten that not every user has top of the notch computers with amazing graphics on their computers so the mesh begins to effect everything on here. I know it is the mesh because I was on on the SL Viewer 2 before SL Viewer 3 with mesh came into existing. There are quite a lot of things I have noticed take longer to load or they don't load right at all. Everyone who knows me notices that I own a whole bunch of Truth hair and since mesh started then I have had like one-third of my Truth hairs in my inventory when I wear them begin to not load completely like they used to. I had to trade cat trees for my KittyCats breedables recently due to the fact that it was showing as nothing but 3D lines and balls which is unacceptable to me. Even my furniture in my home has suffered as they look like strange shapes instead of the smoothness I was accustomed to. You name it and I have pretty much been fighting with the way things look on and around me now. Luckily my loved ones still look good on my viewer because otherwise I would be on the support forums complaining about this so much that they will wish they kept those support tickets on the site or live support for us premium members. I mainly writing this blog in hopes that Linden Labs will see this and hear my plead to give up on this whole mesh thing. Sometimes evolving a 3D social network is not for the best. In some ways, I feel the mesh is a ploy to ruin all third party viewers and if that is the case then it is a total fail because they hurting those on SL Viewer as well. I am sure I am not the only one who misses the good ole days before mesh on Second Life. Believe me, when my neko tail and ears begin to look wrong on me due to them not rezzing all the way then I will be on those support forums complaining. No one messes with my neko stuff! Messing with my cats, hair, and furniture is just nearing me to the edge of perturbed. Say no to mesh! Say yes to Second Life without mesh!

Agreed with the comment. Mesh might be good for buidlers and sellers to add features directly shaped from 3D software, but since it was released SL have became an unplayable thing. I am staying with firestorm (no mesh) since it seems to be the unique viewer that will keep the multi layer feature and not pushing us to use mesh.
ReplyDeletethankies for your words...i have found my way around mesh problems since this post but the lag and crashes are still horrid although that has always been the case with Second Life since i joined lol...i noticed yesterday when i was installing a mmrpg game online that it mentioned "mesh textures" so i figuring that perhaps the mesh environment they are trying to start in SL may make it one day more stable...i still have the annoyances of crashes and lag with the mmrpg games i play but never as bad as Second Life has always plagued me with...last i knew mesh is in Firestorm since it is why it was created and Phoenix will soon be obsolete 'cause they are bringing the mesh from SL Viewer 2 later versions into it...there is now a SL Viewer 3 now that i have been using which is stable in some ways but they still need to make it compatible with newer computers that have the Windows 7 'cause when it crashes then you usually have to restart your computer which when you work on SL it can become stressful...hopefully mesh will be a good thing but we just have to wait for them to shake all the bugs out of having mesh now
