abstract: In second life Meshes can have up to 8 texturizable areas, so called texture faces. And each texture face can be assigned to a different texture.

In this tutorial i show you how to achieve that.

Bone Weight Copy is a Blender Addon for copying WEights from one Character to another. The tool was originaly introduced with Blender 2.49, but meanwhile it has been ported to Blender 2.5 Since Blender 2.66 it no longer works.
