Question About Uploading Mesh Objects

[Darla Hadisson]

Is it possible to upload mesh.objects (.dae's) to SL with textures already applied, or do textures and mesh objects have to be uploaded separately?

[Drongle McMahon]

It is possible, although there are sometimes problems with the file links. Also, there are some disadvantages - each time you upload the same texture (eg weith an altered mesh) it will make another texture asset with a new ID, and this will be hidden in an unobvious place in your inventory. It also wastes space on the asset server. And you get charged for the texture upload each time upload. Therefore, I always strongly recommend uploding the textures separately.
