How to create a mesh alpha texture?

[SLthrift]

How would I go about making a mesh alpha texture? For example, I want to create eyelashes similar to ones on a prim alpha texture, but instead have it as a mesh.

An alpha texture that goes on mesh is the same as  goes on a prim. You need to MAP the texture to the mesh face and assign materails etc. But the TEXTURE is the same.  So for example if you made a MESH plant base that looked similar to a prim or sculpt plant base, they would ALL take the same texture.

I probably should add that most of the mesh eyelashes that "I" have seen do not use an alpha texture but the eyelashes are made with very small mesh objects joined together.
