random prim STUFF.

site managed by - heatherhawncontributors - drzzter, thezi

here, u can find some things outside of Basic Primming Knowledge;
quirks of the Build Mode, strange yet useful Techniques, and other CRAP.
who knows . . . . . some Mesh could sneak in . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

the site is organized as follows;
stuff - smaller things & individual techniques or guides.
guides - much larger guides
primspo - prim creators, historical sims, etc. [ WIP ]

note on land impact.

TL;DR,prims with materials can skyrocket land impact
set ur prim linksets to Convex Hull, then None.
if u NEED the prims to have accurate collision, change individual prims back to the original physics shape

initially, Land Impact = Prim Count

but after playing with the Materials or Physics Shape Type of an object, different calculations will be applied.

in Build Menu, with an Object Selected

find the More Info button > it should be under the Land Impact total

Weights of Selected >

* Download :* Physics :* Server : 0.5 always(?)

the largest of these numbers will determine the Land Impact. Physics weight varies based on parameters & scale.

Physics Weight can be a problem, especially in Link Sets, to lower it go to ;
Features >

Physics Shape Type >

Convex Hull or None } this will set all except the Root to None

Convex Hull does come with its own side-effects.

as an example, if u had a Torus as an Arch, it would no longer be passable with Convex Hull.

Torus with Materials*

in this case, u could place an Invisible Hollowed Cylinder without Materials to act as the "Physics Shape" of that Torus.

also, the Land Impact shown outside of the More Info window is not always accurate.
