Mesh/Getting started

Getting started

Mesh is in the early stages of being enabled on agni, and is not generally available there yet. For now, you can test it on several mesh-enabled regions on aditi as follows:

1. Download the Second Life Viewer Beta from Second Life's Downloads page.

   Look for the Second Life Viewer Beta installer in the Other Viewers section. Be sure not to install the beta Viewer in the same folder as your existing Viewer 2 installation, or you will likely get a "application failed to initialize properly" error upon startup.

2. Import your SL account to Aditi (see Updating Your Account on Aditi for instructions).
3. Install and run the Viewer.
4. Enable the grid selection dropdown in Me->Preferences->Advanced->Show Grid Selection or by typing CTRL+SHIFT+G.
5. In grid selection, choose the Aditi beta grid.
6. Go to region Mesh City or any of the other Mesh-enabled regions.

   Note that Mesh City and its variants can get overloaded with Residents during peak hours, which may impact performance. You may want to check the Mesh Sandboxes if you're having trouble logging into Mesh City or if everything there looks like large triangles instead of meshes.

7. See what people have been working on, or try uploading some sample content of your own!
