<videoflash type="youtube">wel81CfKgRw|480|380</videoflash> The Mesh Project Viewer is a chance for all Second Life Residents to try an early implementation of mesh import, an upcoming feature that enables creators to model objects using external tools and bring them into Second Life. To participate:

1. Download and install the mesh project viewer (as of 2011 February, 14 a Mesh Development viewer build is required. The "stable" Mesh Viewer is out of date and will provide invalid results).
2. Enable your account on our Aditi grid (see Updating Your Account on Aditi for instructions).
3. Connect to an appropriate mesh-enabled region.

Detailed instructions on downloading and installing the mesh beta Viewer are on the setup page.
