-:1. Give it a unique name which also credits the original TS2 mesh maker - I've used ''porkypine_TS3-conversion-of-Macarossi-DragonTree'' for my file name - It tells my username, the username of the original TS2 creator and the name of the object.
-:2. Change the ''catalog name'' to your descriptive Mesh name
-:3. Change the ''catalog description'' to something which tells who your are and where you got the original mesh.
