On average, we found that the "Scaling Factor" of 10 during import gave perfectly sized components for OpenSim / Second Life.\\ 
-When you modify the scaling factor to a different value than 10,  you'll get items outside the default avatars size. +By now, we try to prepare the packages more thoroughly. As a result, you should always check an avatars pages instructions. In case you're unsure, try importing the mesh parts in OpenSim, find out the perfect settings for your needs, and only then upload them in Second Life. \\ 
-For beginners we recommend to use the scaling factor 10, but when you know what you are doing and why, you can change the import setting as to get the components directly in the desired size.\\+Scaling issues affect only the Avatars from Ironwood115 (Shark & Lion; Scaling factor x10) and from Silverim ( Dark Dragon and Light Dragon, scaling factor should be fixed ).
  
-So, as a summary in List form:\\ +Other steps typically include:\\ 
-  * Model Name: Give each component a meaningful name. Their internal names just aren't meaningful. +  * Model Name: Give each component a meaningful name. Their internal names just aren't meaningful. When it is a complete avatar pack, i.e. several components in one package, you have to rename the parts when you "Edit" => "Unlink" the parts. 
-  * Tab "Upload Options": Scale: Default Scaling factor is 10. For the head, this results in a "male" head. In the packaged versions, the scaling factor for a female head, jaw and the right and left earfins was changed several times between 9.5 and 9.0.  In the end we adjusted the size inside OpenSim manually. +  * Tab "Upload Options": Scale: Default Scaling factor is either given on the avatars page, or you can find out your optimum setting by trial-and-error in OpenSim.  
-  * Tab "Upload Options": Checkbox "Include textures": Per default, we marked the tickbox. Seriously, none of us knows what actually happens when we do not select it other than that we get white instead of black default meshes in the end. We got that one from a Youtube Video on how to import mesh into Second Life.+  * Tab "Upload Options": Checkbox "Include textures": Per default, we marked the tickbox. Seriously, none of us knows what actually happens when we do not select it other than that we get white instead of black default meshes in the end. We got that one from a Youtube Video on how to import mesh into Second Life. Some Avatar packs might try to include the textures, but we haven't found out yet how to make that automatic ourselves, so best to assume you'll have to upload the textures later on yourself and apply them.
