Mesh Components and UV Maps
To import the mesh master component correctly into OpenSim / Second Life, you need to select the following import settings:
The UV Maps can be used as a transparent overlay to create your own individualized Skins.
Or in List form:
- Model Name: This is the default name for the mesh master component.
- Tab “Upload Options”: Scale: Default Scaling factor is 1 .
- 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
After uploading the mesh master component, rez it in-world. Edit and then “Unlink” it. Now rename each individual component, apply their textures, then take the components.

Side effects may include a heightened sense of admiration for mystical creatures with either hoards of money or loads of booty and bounty, an increased interest in draconic lifeforms from D&D kobolds to wyverns, and an overwhelming desire to protect rare and exotic species.
