CharacterMesh.BaseTextureContent

The Content-typed equivalent of CharacterMesh.BaseTextureId, holding the base texture applied to the R6 body part's mesh. Supports asset URIs. Can be overridden by Shirts, Pants, T-Shirts, and CharacterMesh.OverlayTextureContent. Defaults to empty Content.

Underlying storage for legacy CharacterMesh.BaseTextureId: the two stay in sync. Like the rest of CharacterMesh, it only affects R6 characters.

CharacterMesh.MeshContent

The Content-typed equivalent of CharacterMesh.MeshId. Loads a mesh and applies it to the body part given by CharacterMesh.BodyPart. Supports asset URIs. Defaults to empty Content.

The Content-typed equivalent of CharacterMesh.OverlayTextureId. The overlay covers Shirts, Pants, T-Shirts, and CharacterMesh.BaseTextureContent. Supports asset URIs. Defaults to empty Content.

Setting either OverlayTextureContent or CharacterMesh.OverlayTextureId updates the other; both reflect the same texture. Like the rest of CharacterMesh, it only affects R6 characters.
