WADE1 Jya Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 In quick summary, everything you see in SL (or most 3D environments) is mesh -- except particles & text I guess. A mesh in simplest form is a flat plane, think like a sheet of paper. Just like paper, you can fold it and cut it anyway you wish to form shapes. Prims are meshes, they are just superlimited ones. Sculpties are meshes too, they just also have their own severe limitations. "Mesh" coming to SL, it really just means removing the inherent limitations of prim & sculpty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronometria Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Mesh - Something apparently banned from the latest linden fashion show, oddly enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielRavenNest Noe Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Snarky reply: The reason the forum keeps past messages is so you can read and search them. So yes, go back and read every single post. Helpful reply: Mesh in Second Life is a new asset type with different features than prims or sculpts. It is created in an external 3D program and uploaded to your inventory for a small upload fee. Once uploaded, you can rez it on the ground, texture it, scale it, or wear it, similar to the other asset types. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusalka Writer Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 That is like saying "I'm going to France and I don't want a big hassle. Just tell me how to speak French." I learned Calculus faster and better than I learned mesh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJayy Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 Very clever. I'd like to know how to do that with Google. but the thing I 'm a bit confused with is 'mesh avatars' sounds like a whole new bunch of body parts and hassle.

DanielRavenNest Noe Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 A mesh avatar is a replacement for your standard avatar. Generally it would be three items to wear: The avatar itself, an alpha layer to hide the standard avatar, and a body shape of the usual SL kind for fitting animations better. If wearing clothing with mulitple parts is too much hassle for you, then yes, this will be too. If you can deal with putting on an outfit with multiple parts, you can handle a mesh avatar with three parts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJayy Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 I think I'll stick to the avatar I have. less hassle. I do have a choice. yeah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
