[opensource-dev] Mesh uploads in OpenSource SL viewer

[Neil Canham]

Hi - I've been experimenting with building viewer 3 lately (based on
pulling code for 3.3.0-release (rev 22667) a while back.  I have the viewer
built and running.  However, on trying to upload a mesh although the
'calculate weights' button is there, my mesh previews ok and all LODs have
green ticks, pressing the 'calculate weights' button gives a disabled
'upload' button that never becomes enabled.  I assume that this is related
to the need for Havok to perform the convex hull decomposition?  But even
if I provide a physics model manually the same thing happens.  Is some form
of decomposition essential?  I've seen that some of the TPVs have mesh
upload capability, and that there are open source initiatives for this, but
I'm not entirely sure how to go about building them into the viewer.  Also,
how does one go about building the havok-based decomposition for use with
SL?  Is that switched off by default in the build?
