===== Mesh Components and UV Maps =====

To import the meshes correctly into OpenSim / Second Life,  you need to select the following import settings:\\
{{ :avatars:shork_import_settings.jpg?nolink| Mesh component import settings for OpenSim}} \\
The UV Maps can be used as a transparent overlay to create your own individualized Skins.\\
\\
Or in List form:\\
  * Model Name: Give each component a meaningful name. Their internal names just aren't meaningful.
  * 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": 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.

===== Textures =====

As a note on the eye textures: \\
After uploading an eye texture, applying it to an eye of a Shork avatar needs one adjustment:\\
{{ :avatars:eye_texture_settings.png?nolink |}}\\
In the Texture tab of the Edit window,  "Horizontal Scale" should be equal 1 and "Vertical Scale" should be equal 2.
Again, it just works best this way. When you want a different effect or create your own eye textures, play with these values to find your desired effect.\\
Also remember that, when designing your own eyes for a Shork Shark, the vertical pupil on the avatar needs the texture to have the pupil horizontally. It rotates by 90°, but given we put a lot of effort into the eyes by the time we realized our error, the group decided to leave it as a quirk.

===== Textures =====

As a note on the eyes: \\
You can re-use the eyes from Ironwood Shark Avatars. You just need to scale their size to the size of the nordowl shark eyes and maybe rotate the eyes for the desired looks.  \\ 
Or apply the the textures from a Shork Eye Texture pack to the eyes of your Avatar.
