I am a Mac user who builds and create sculpts. My last two months in SL have been horrid from a viewer standpoint. When the Phoenix viewer moved away from KDU, most Mac users lost the ability to upload sculpts in that viewer. I'm at least led to believe this IS an OpenJpg issue. (I don't consider it a bug, as I have at least formed an opionion that no one bothered to check for this functionality prior to release.)
I am told the Phoenix developers have found the problem and have a fix, however, that fix has yet to be included in a beta. The "broken" Phoenix-Mac viewer has not been a small issue, although it effects a subset of creators (those who primarily create sculpt maps and also use Mac computers). The work around for me, and for others, involves the user moving back and forth viewer to viewer. For me, its multiple round trips per trial/test, and many occasions of same before I have a finished sculpt. It's time consuming (and often expensive) enough to produce sculpts for Second Life without the added pressure, frustration and plain old hassle this issue has created. I can not count the number of uncompleted projects in my inventory. At the time Emerald was banned, I was among those who wrote to LL pleading they not effect the ban until a replacement viewer was available for users of current PC and Mac systems. That supporting release for the Mac was sure short lived! Such a VERY unhappy bear. --GJ On 11/11/10 6:28 PM, "Tateru Nino" <tateru.n...@gmail.com> wrote: >So that would seem to imply that either texture transfers are short, or >the buffers are being erroneously truncated before they can be properly >handed off to the decoder, yes? > >On 11/11/2010 11:10 AM, Carlo Wood wrote: >> I thought that the big problem with openjpeg v2 is that it doesn't >> deal with partial streams correctly.
