~~VWR-1372~~ Sculpt prim topology reverts to sphere unexpectedly

This issue is related to by:

VWR-5647 Meta-Issue: Sculpted Prims Need More Linden Lab Development

Description

« Hide

Currently, the topology of a sculpted prim is limited to spherical topology. In LSL you can change (via llSetPrimitiveParams) the sculpted prim topology to a toroidial topology (aka a donut). However, this is not reachable via the UI, thus most people are ignorant about this feature.

It's also generating bug ~~VWR-1372~~.

Linking bug ~~VWR-1372~~ to feature request ~~VWR-1445~~, since they are related.

for now, i think we want to leave "alternate sculpt topologies" to the advanced users.

but yes, ~~VWR-1372~~ is a definite bug, and will get fixed soon.

I don't agree that it should be an advanced-only feature. The alternate topologies are not inherently more complicated or harder to understand. And it's ridiculous that the ONLY way I can make one is to cobble together an annoying little script.

Agree with Mano. Epsecially since heightmaps use PRIM_SCULPT_TYPE_PLANE and yet they're the simplest kind of sculpty to understand

It is very annoying to open my inventory and hunt down that script every time I want to do this. It needs a UI control.

Not sure if I should be marking this as "fix pending", but we now have a GUI control for stitch types in 1.20RC
