<h3> Update changes</h3>
Bakes on Mesh is a new feature to allow system avatar baked textures to be shown on mesh attachments. Currently you will need a special project viewer to use it. Bakes on Mesh also requires updates to the simulator, baking service and inventory service to support the new universal wearable type, so it will only work in some regions on some grids: currently everything is enabled in the "Bakes on Mesh" region of Aditi. Creating universal wearables will be disabled if you are in an unsupported region.
This viewer introduces a revised updater, replacing the current Viewer Manager Process (VMP). Instead of running the VMP before every viewer session, we now run the updater as a child process of the viewer. Viewer notifications are used to alert the user to a pending update.
This viewer starts more quickly than with the VMP. It displays only one Taskbar or Dock viewer icon. Pinning that icon should behave exactly as expected, going forward.
===Basic features===
* Any face of a mesh object can be textured using one of the server baked textures.
* The corresponding region of the system avatar is hidden if an attached mesh is using a baked texture.
* 5 new bake channels - leftarm,leftleg,aux1,aux2,aux3. You can use the new bake channels on face of a mesh
* A universal wearable type
* New tattoos for universal wearable type -
HEAD_TATTOO, -> baked to head
UPPER_TATTOO -> baked to upper
LOWER_TATTOO, -> baked to lower
SKIRT_TATTOO, -> baked to skirt
HAIR_TATTOO, -> baked to hair
EYES_TATTOO, -> baked to eyes
LEFT_ARM_TATTOO, -> baked to leftarm
LEFT_LEG_TATTOO, -> baked to leftleg
AUX1_TATTOO, -> baked to aux1
AUX2_TATTOO, -> baked to aux2
AUX3_TATTOO, -> baked to aux3
Pinned icons for the VMP or the VMP-mediated viewer may need to be deleted and recreated.
===Benefits===
* Avoid the need for appliers -> easier customization workflow
* Avoid the need for onion avatars -> fewer meshes, fewer textures at display time
* Avoid the need to sell full-perm meshes. You can customize any mesh you have modify permissions for simply by setting the flags and equipping the appropriate wearables.
We still run the updater before _first_ launching a newly-installed Windows viewer, to address the potential problem of installing a 64-bit viewer on a Windows system that does not support it. Similarly, if you install a 32-bit viewer on a Windows system that can support the 64-bit viewer, it retrieves the 64-bit viewer instead.
Avatar wearables are baked into eleven different textures (BAKE_HEAD, BAKE_UPPER, BAKE_LOWER, BAKE_EYES, BAKE_SKIRT, BAKE_HAIR, BAKE_LEFTARM,BAKE_LEFTLEG, BAKE_AUX1, BAKE_AUX2, BAKE_AUX3) by the baking service. You can now apply these textures to your avatar’s object attachments' diffuse texture slot. Right click on the attachment, click edit and from the edit face menu select textures. Click the diffuse texture icon to open up the texture picker. The texture picker has an extra radio button mode called 'bake' for selecting server bakes. The 'bake' radio button mode has a dropdown for selecting BAKE_HEAD, BAKE_UPPER, BAKE_LOWER, BAKE_EYES, BAKE_SKIRT, BAKE_HAIR, BAKE_LEFTARM, BAKE_LEFTLEG, BAKE_AUX1, BAKE_AUX2, BAKE_AUX3 server bake textures. When an attachment is using a baked texture, the corresponding base mesh region of the system avatar is hidden.
<h3>Bugsplat</h3>
If a mesh face is set to show a baked texture but is not attached to an avatar, you will see a default baked texture. If you are using an older viewer without bakes on mesh support, then faces set to show baked textures will also display as the default baked texture, and base mesh regions will not be hidden.
If this viewer crashes, the crash report is sent to BugSplat rather than to Linden's internal crash reporting system.
(Third party developers: the existing Breakpad crash-reporting code is still present in the code base. BugSplat integration is enabled by a CMake variable.)}}{{GreenCheckbox|title=Resolved Issues|body=* {{jira|INTL-318}} New translations for Windows viewer installer messages

Second Life Project BakesOnMesh Viewer version 6.0.2.524367
Bakes on Mesh is a new feature to allow system avatar baked textures to be shown on mesh attachments. Currently you will need a special project viewer to use it. Bakes on Mesh also requires updates to the simulator, baking service and inventory service to support the new universal wearable type, so it will only work in some regions on some grids: currently everything is enabled in the "Bakes on Mesh" region of Aditi. Creating universal wearables will be disabled if you are in an unsupported region.
Basic features
Any face of a mesh object can be textured using one of the server baked textures.
The corresponding region of the system avatar is hidden if an attached mesh is using a baked texture.
5 new bake channels - leftarm,leftleg,aux1,aux2,aux3. You can use the new bake channels on face of a mesh
A universal wearable type
New tattoos for universal wearable type -
HEAD_TATTOO, -> baked to head
UPPER_TATTOO -> baked to upper

Avoid the need to sell full-perm meshes. You can customize any mesh you have modify permissions for simply by setting the flags and equipping the appropriate wearables.
Avatar wearables are baked into eleven different textures (BAKE_HEAD, BAKE_UPPER, BAKE_LOWER, BAKE_EYES, BAKE_SKIRT, BAKE_HAIR, BAKE_LEFTARM,BAKE_LEFTLEG, BAKE_AUX1, BAKE_AUX2, BAKE_AUX3) by the baking service. You can now apply these textures to your avatar’s object attachments' diffuse texture slot. Right click on the attachment, click edit and from the edit face menu select textures. Click the diffuse texture icon to open up the texture picker. The texture picker has an extra radio button mode called 'bake' for selecting server bakes. The 'bake' radio button mode has a dropdown for selecting BAKE_HEAD, BAKE_UPPER, BAKE_LOWER, BAKE_EYES, BAKE_SKIRT, BAKE_HAIR, BAKE_LEFTARM, BAKE_LEFTLEG, BAKE_AUX1, BAKE_AUX2, BAKE_AUX3 server bake textures. When an attachment is using a baked texture, the corresponding base mesh region of the system avatar is hidden.
If a mesh face is set to show a baked texture but is not attached to an avatar, you will see a default baked texture. If you are using an older viewer without bakes on mesh support, then faces set to show baked textures will also display as the default baked texture, and base mesh regions will not be hidden.
The new bake channels and tattoos can be tested on "Bakes on Mesh" region on Aditi.
