Description

« Hide

To continue to achieve increased growth, diversity and complexity of content creation in Second Life users will need additional tools and expanded functionality. It is our opinion that many users are pushing against the limitations of the current toolset and find that limitations and lack of features stagnate their experience and potential.

We recognise and appreciate the recent relaxation of some building restrictions and addition of sculpts, Havok 4 and Mono but feel these are stepping stones on a longer road.

The linked issues are those which we think provides a well rounded toolset.

I wish this to remain as a roadmap style metaissue. I do not think individual subissues such as implementing a specific script function or primitive property would be appropriate and would rapidly bog us down. if you are linking something please make sure it is something "big picture".

I've added a few. COLLADA is an interchange format that can enable skinned models (skeleton rigs) meshes, animation. It is already a format supported by game engines (Unreal) and is an open standard.

I'll probably move normal maps off to a big picture graphics issue, still looking if one has already been posted. We need a materials system actually, and normal maps would only be part of a generally more improved texture and materials toolset. So that really needs a new meta-issue to be linked to here. If someone else beats me to that, great.

finally I put in the sculpted prims metaissue for improving and extending them to the next level.

Another thought on advanced toolset.
