What is mesh and how will it affect Second Life? I’ve noticed a lot of the same kind of questions being asked about the upcoming release of “mesh” in Second Life. There is a bit of confusion about it, how it works, and how it will impact on SL. I’ve compiled some of the questions and answers here in a huge braindump! Feel free to ask questions in comments and I will add them to my list and do my best to answer them, or find answers to them. Also if I have gotten anything wrong or missed anything here, let me know :) There is a wiki here about mesh specifically in SL that will provide much more information. Q: What is a mesh? A: A “mesh” a collection of points, edges and faces used to define the shape of a 3 dimensional object in virtual space (wikipedia) It is built in polygons (quads are 4 sided polygons, tri’s are 3 sided polygons, ngons are 5 sided polygons) in a program like Maya, 3DS Max, Zbrush, Blender (there are several other options, but those are the most used) Sculpties are technically meshes. Q: Why do I need it? A: Yes.
