Mesh, The Good the Bad and the Ugly

Addendum: Today 9-6-1 I heard Firestorm came out with a Mesh beta ... 'haven't tried it yet, but I will. Then I read Carrie Lexington's blog post about it just now and she has good things to say. Her pics looks good and she says the mesh outfits are fluid with no prim parts sticking out and the clothes move with the body.. wow.. that sounds great. I want! Anyway.. check her blog out here: http://slifefantastic.blogspot.com/ or direct link here: SLifeFantasticHere.

I'm on Phoenix viewer... I hope to stay on Phoenix until the other viewers become more stable and user friendly for me. I have tried, really I have. I see some good points in V2 or 3, whatever that I REALLY want for myself. But even still...

Mesh

porto_015
(WTF Mesh?)

So I thought I'd check out this "Mesh" everyone is talking about lately. They had some freebies and things with Mesh demos at a store so I went with a friend to check it out. What I saw amounted to avatars with boxes on them. That was seriously what I saw. Short avatars had oddly shaped colored box looking bodies and taller avatars were strange shaped boxes with their head sticking out. Nice. So a friend switch to a couple of different mesh enabled viewers and saw the outfits perfectly fine as intended. In another store the Mesh model looked like a big 3d oval ball. The moral of this story is.. if all is going Mesh some day.. Phoenix won't let me see it at least for now, meaning if a person wears the mesh outfit Phoenix viewer people wont see them. This can't be fun for the wearer of the Mesh outfit, or for the Phoenix viewer people. The logical question was could Phoenix viewer people see the um.. bits.. under or through the box?.. and the answer is no. God only knows what products will look like. So maybe Phoenix has an update or an adjustment to see Mesh but I have not heard about it yet and therefore probably most other people have not either. If anyone knows of this please please let me know.

Today is Phoenix Viewer's one year birthday. Jessica talks about this and all things SL and Phoenix on her site here: http://www.phoenixviewer.com/ direct link here: PhoenixHere. Thankfully she fully addresses the Mesh issue and also indicates Firestorm will soon work with Mesh. I am still not overjoyed with losing Phoenix to Firestorm or any other viewer at this point. For me Phoenix is easy to use, has all the wonderful features and interface I love and takes great pictures and machinima for me. Some of my fav features, specifics in radar, stability (a biggy) and photo quality is lost on some of the others at this point. Maybe viewer changes are being released before they are ready???

Blogger Seraphin did a wonderful interview and got a pretty good explanation of Mesh out of an exceptional SL builder Maxwell Graff here: http://seraphimsl.com/?p=6322 or direct link here: SeraphimHere.

Abbottabad in SL

slurl.com/secondlife/Avatrian%20Central/97/169/3502 or direct link here: AbbottabadHere.
Metaverse development team Avatrian built a scale replica of Osama bin Laden’s compound in Abbottobad, Pakistan with info. from Google Earth and other sources.
blog

When entering the notecard reads, "The Abbottabad compound in Second Life was created using RL scale measurements based on Google Earth data and other publicly reliable information. It is an on-going work in progress so you should see improvements to the model over time. For optimal use, please adjust the size of your avatars to only between 5.5 and 6 feet in height. In this way, you will be able to experience the space in relative proportions to the RL compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

Please note that this space is a non-commercial development intended only as a 3D visual guide and for role-playing. It is opened by Avatrian for use by the general public. But, please be mindful of your actions and conversations while in the sim. Treat other visitors with respect. Avatars who are found to be engaging in abusive behaviour or griefing will be banned from the sim.

Enjoy your time here. We are open to any feedback you might have. You can IM Chenin Anabuki or email info@avatrian.com for any comments or suggestions."

My buddy, Lowe Runo, put on his Tonktastic military wear and we snapped a few pics. It's interesting all the things you can find in SL.
