Everything 3d in SL right now is a mesh, regular prims are meshes, sculpts are meshes, our avatars are meshes. The “Mesh” that people keep talking about coming to SL now, is just industry standard meshes. Most things in SL are very specific to SL, sculpts are only in SL, but mesh allows a wider variety of content because people can create in standard 3D mesh.
Mesh Clothing and accessories:
Wear a mesh attachment is a little different than wearing an attachments now. Mesh attachments that are rigged (meaning programmed to react to the avatar bones) automatically position themselves to the avatar remember how they were programmed. The rigged mesh will change some to fit the avatar, it will accommodate differences in length and width of an avatar but not all sliders. Meaning a mesh will adjust to avatar height, arm length, hip width etc.
most times you do not have to rez mesh objects, for clothing and accessories you just have to wear the item.
This item is a mesh preview item. I am still learning mesh so it is a work in progress. Just wear from your inventory like any other attachment.
What is needed to wear mesh…
You need a mesh compatible viewer
Either the official 2.8.3 Viewer or the 3.0 Viewer will work on the Second Life web page.
or KristensViewer.
The viewer released on July 22, 2011, 21(9) works.
You need to be on a mesh enabled sim.
Urbanista is running mesh, and has a park like atmosphere you can explore.
All of the Magnum sims are running mesh. The Mesh sandbox sims are also running mesh.
Mesh will be available on all sims before the end of August.
If you are wearing a mesh outfit and you can not see it, you are either on a sim that does not have the mesh server running or you are using a viewer that is no mesh enabled.
If you have any questions about mesh? Visit the Second Life Wiki.
