As of version 1.1 we are still working on streamlining our packaging process, so differences might still occur.
We will make a version 2.0 package when we have a streamlined process and meaningful upgrade components available.

To help people that got older avatar packages or got their avatar pre-assembled from a friend, we deploy optional upgrades in their own boxes. These packages should be located at our main distribution locations, first of all Shork Island in OpenSim. Their hover text and object name should carry the keyword “Shark Avatar” or “Shork Shark” somewhere as a loose indicator. Also, this will be the way we deploy upgrade components until we get to our v2.0 main avatar package milestone (see above).

To import the meshes 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: 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.
