Here’s yet another mesh to replace prior prim work.\u00a0 (^_^)<\/p>\n

A friend had 3 rounded steps made from 3 cylinder prims.\u00a0 As we were looking into the prim budget of the sim, the curiosity came as to how much we could reduce it.\u00a0 (^_^)<\/p>\n
This is what I plan to do a lot of.\u00a0\u00a0 Reproduce pre-existing prim builds in order to improve efficiency and save on prim counts.\u00a0 =^-^=<\/p>\n
So, what did I achieve here?\u00a0 Well… For one… a PE of 0.75.\u00a0 Just on sheer face count alone combined with 3 LOD models and a hand-made physical form, I made what was once 3 prims less than a prim! XD<\/p>\n
Also, like my picket fence, I took advantage of the capabilities of UV mapping to provide surfaces which would take on pre-existing inworld textures just fine.\u00a0 =^-^=<\/p>\n
So… Project is a success! (^_^)<\/p>\n
I’m sure other mesh builders will feel free to make super-high-detail beasties and epic fine-grain meshes to do things prims and sculpts have never done before.\u00a0 As for me, I’m going to make simple utilitarian items to replace prims with far more efficient items.\u00a0 (^_^)<\/p>\n
Gonna munch me some lag! (^_^)y<\/p>\n
Oh… Just for the heck of it… Here’s a copy of the Blender project for the steps. =^-^=<\/p>\n
