| Uploading a mesh is a fairly straightforward process, similar to how you would upload an animation or texture. This walkthrough will cover the workflow for uploading a basic object with basic properties. If you're new to mesh, this is where you'll want to get started. This walkthrough will bypass a lot of the more complex customization and advanced features of mesh; we'll get into some of those in later walkthroughs.

| SL's mesh import is able to read [https://collada.org/mediawiki/index.php/COLLADA_-_Digital_Asset_and_FX_Exchange_Schema COLLADA] ("''.dae''") files.
| |
| * Download a COLLADA model file to your computer:
| |
| ** Download [https://collada.org/owl/download.php?sess=0&parent=126&expand=1&order=name&curview=0&binary=1&id=698 duck.dae] from https://collada.org/owl/download.php?sess=0&parent=126&expand=1&order=name&curview=0&binary=1&id=698/
| |
| ** Alternatively, you can download any "''.dae''" file from the [https://collada.org/owl/browse.php?sess=0&parent=28&expand=1&order=name&curview=0&sortname=ASC COLLADA public repository], where "''duck.dae''" came from.
| |
| * Stick this file anywhere on your hard drive.
| |
| | |
| == Upload the mesh file to Second Life ==
| |
| [[File:MeshWalkthrough-Import_Model.png|right|300px]]
| |
| * Open the main menu "''Build''" menu, choose "''Upload''", click "''Model...''".
| |
| *: (Alternately, open your Inventory View, click the "''+''" menu button, "''Upload''" > "''Model...''").
| |
| *: This will cause a file dialog box will open.
| |
| * Find and select the "''duck.dae''" file from your computer. The Import Model window will then appear.
| |
| * Click the "''Generate LOD''" button at the top of this window.
| |
| *: The viewer will take a moment to process this, then the Upload button will become clickable.
| |
| * Click the 'Upload' button.
| |
| *: You will see 2 assets inserted into your Inventory:
| |
| *: One will appear in the Meshes folder, and one will appear in the Objects folder.
| |
| *: These will appear as "LOD3spShape" for the duck object (if you're having trouble finding them, go to the "RECENT" tab in your inventory.)
| |
| *: We only care about the Object right now.
| |
| | |
| == Add your mesh object to the world ==
| |
| [[File:MeshWalkthrough-Rez_Object.png|right|300px]]
| |
| * Drag the new object from your "''Objects''" folder to anywhere on the ground where you have permissions to build.
| |
| *: A duck model will appear on the ground.
| |
| * You can use the duck mesh as you would any other object -- scale it, texture it, attach it, script it, whatever you like.
