AVASTAR BENTO HAND LOCATION UPDATE

The BUG-40672 issue as seen in the Bento viewer, and apparently the result of вЂњbadвЂќ joint overrides defined in the pre-Bento model, and changes made to how overrides are handled in the Bento viewerДЇor Bento, this restriction has been relaxed to make it easier to produce meshes only affecting part of the avatar (wings affecting wing joints positions, head that affects only head join positions, etc.), making it possible to вЂњmix and matchвЂќ different meshes. Prior to Bento, these joint position overrides were not applied, because the Lab was enforcing a 20-joint minimum: if a sub-mesh was rigged to fewer than 20 joints, then it was not treated as rigged, and the joint positions were ignored. The problem appears when a sub-mesh contains bad joint position overrides for various joints that the model is rigged to. The second is a report instance of pre-Bento content being deformed when viewed on the Bento viewer вЂ“ see BUG-40672. The first of the bugs mentioned by Vir in the audio is that the scale locking capability recently added to disable shape sliders from having any influence over joint positions has been reported as working intermittently at times. It is performing well crash-wise in comparison with the current release viewer, so the hope is вЂ“ bugs allowing вЂ“ it might not be too long before the viewer moves up to release status. The Bento viewer is now on its third version as a release candidate (version 5.60 at the time of writing). Rather, it represents the core points of discussion, grouped together by subject matter were relevant / possible, whilst maintaining the overall context of the meeting.
