<sarcams>If the efforts are so minimal, what about doing it yourself ?...</sarcasm> :-P I mean, why keeping the llconvexdecomposition stub at all when HACD is available and used by all OpenSource viewers based off LL's v3 ?... LL could even drop Havok for mesh convex decomposition: HACD actually provides much simpler (from the users' point of view) and no less cost-effective decomps than Havok's, and it lowers the number of steps necessary to upload a mesh. > Separating out the two parts would just result in havok libraries that > are shared between convex decomposition and the pathfinding > functionality being linked in twice for the main viewer. And gluing them together causes issues for people using HACD (i.e. all existing TPVs)... Not that I care much myself since I don't use LL's v3 repository and build system, but others will appreciate your "minimal efforts" to keep things easy to cope with... ;-) Regards, Henri. _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
