You can split them into or combine them all, when the multitool converts them they will all get merged together anyway. This seperation is for viewer ease as they can become very long. For our needs we are putting them into 2, a meshes and a texture/material one. | ||

<attribute id="Name" type="LSString" value="CircletMaterialName" /> Again this is never referenced anywhere else, but it is best to keep it as unique as you can to prevent clashes. | |||
<attribute id="SourceFile" type="LSString" value="Public/Shared/Assets/Materials/Characters/CHAR_BASE.lsf" /> This is a fairly standard material without transparency or glow. Transparent materials have 'alpha' in the title. | |||

If there is anything wrong, your item may simply refuse to show up, so it is worth double checking everything here. | |||
