Parts 3&4, Andrea |
| 15:04 |
Ember (emberell) |
With that, though, I'm going to open the floor to you, our lovely audiecne1 What questions do you have for us today? |
| 15:05 |
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane) |
i'd just like to say, if i may, i'm working on a new set of classes to teach about mesh, and could really use your help. if you can think of things people would want to know, i'd love any and all suggestions |
| 15:05 |
Gronk Seriman |
Until I get my desktop going again, I'm stuck on a laptop. Firestorms works OK, but I heard of other viewers that concentrate on performance. Any suggestions? |
| 15:06 |
Ember (emberell) |
Hmm. How does the default viewer treat you, Gronk? |
| 15:06 |
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane) |
i already have a lot of ideas, but i find i can always learn something from other people, so i'd love any suggestions you all may have about what you'd want to learn about if it was you :-) |
| 15:06 |
Gronk Seriman |
Ewww! Hated it on the desktop. Doubt I'd like it any better on the laptop. |
| 15:06 |
Ember (emberell) |
A question I hear a somewhat frequently is, what's needed to be done to make mesh 'optimal' for second life, Tora |
| 15:07 |
Ember (emberell) |
But that may be too advanced, depending on the scope of your class |
| 15:07 |
Ember (emberell) |
I hear some recommendations for Alchemy, or the CoolVL viewer |
| 15:07 |
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane) |
thanks ember. that's a good one, i can devote a paragraph or two to when and how mesh works best |
| 15:07 |
|
Gronk Seriman withdraws her conversation till Tora is done. |
| 15:08 |
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane) |
lol, no. please mz Gronk. |
| 15:08 |
Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane) |
i'm just asking people to IM me with suggestions. i'm done :-D |
| 15:08 |
Gronk Seriman |
Your topic is professional. Mine is merely personal. |
| 15:08 |
Ember (emberell) |
Alchemy is one I'd recommend if you want to aim for performance first, I think. |
| 15:09 |
Ember (emberell) |
Your question is good, Gronk,. It's something a lot of people ask - and there are a lot of options for viewers |
| 15:09 |
Ember (emberell) |
I've heard mixed reviews on Catznip, that it's fairly buggy lately |
| 15:09 |
|
Agatha Macbeth doesn't know Alchemy |
| 15:09 |
Gronk Seriman |
Alright, I've heard of Alchemy. |
| 15:10 |
|
Ember (emberell) nods |
| 15:10 |
Ember (emberell) |
IF that doesn't work for you, you may prod at some of the others here: https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Third_Party_Viewer_Directory |
| 15:10 |
Ember (emberell) |
I can't recommend any personally, though I've used black dragon at times |
| 15:10 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Kokua is good |
| 15:10 |
Gronk Seriman |
Ah! |
| 15:11 |
|
Ember (emberell) nods |
| 15:11 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
best suggestion I could make is to reduce graphics, and derender non friends and reduce complexity |
| 15:11 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Kokua stopped working with my computer.... |
| 15:11 |
Ember (emberell) |
Hm, how odd! |
| 15:11 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Erk |
| 15:11 |
Ember (emberell) |
There are definitely some good fronts to try, though |
| 15:11 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
and I think it is still mostly violet |
| 15:12 |
Ember (emberell) |
Any other questions? |
| 15:12 |
|
Katie the Scamp (katie.canningham) raises a paw |
| 15:12 |
Ember (emberell) |
Katie! |
| 15:13 |
Katie the Scamp (katie.canningham) |
Is the Goblin cave movie on Saturday now? I thought it was Sunday - did it change? |
| 15:13 |
Ember (emberell) |
It may have changed, let me double check |
| 15:13 |
Katie the Scamp (katie.canningham) |

| 15:15 |
Ember (emberell) |

| 15:15 |
Ember (emberell) |
Andrea, do you happen to know? |
| 15:16 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Sadly no. But, we can find out later |
| 15:16 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Cynthia will be on. Should be Sundays though |
| 15:16 |
Ember (emberell) |
My information says Saturday, but it's possible that's incorrect or outdated. I'll reach out to lady Farshore and see if I can't get you a better time |
| 15:17 |
Katie the Scamp (katie.canningham) |
okies - thankeee! |
| 15:17 |
Ember (emberell) |
I'll let you know when I hear back. |
| 15:17 |
Ember (emberell) |
Other questions? |
| 15:19 |
Ember (emberell) |
It's alright if there are no more questions. I'm liable to wrap up early if so ❤ |
| 15:19 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Thank you for coming |
| 15:19 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
