[Opensim-users] rendering meshies

[Justin Clark-Casey]

Vanilla SL1 will not show mesh content, you will see exactly the "shards of
floating glass interconnected by random lines." that a student described.

Later versions of SL2 will show some beta mesh.  This is an older version of mesh that was never fully released.  They 
will not show the newest mesh.

SL3, I believe, should show both current mesh (definitely) and I think the beta mesh.

0.7.3 should behave similarly to 0.7.2 as regards mesh, though 0.7.3 now has collisions for mesh turned on by default. 
One thing to always try is to clear your viewer cache.  Different versions of viewers have also been known to corrupt 
each other's caches.
