Rez Objects

I apologize if I should find this somewhere else. I am new and have been learning prims and scripting, which is not too foreign since I work in vb, sql, html and xml. I am trying to understand what it means to rez an object. I see information all over the place about creating and editing prims and scripts, rezing objects, but not what rezing is, why and how you do it.

Thanks!

there are many ways rez can be used, it is the same as when you spawn a object (taking object from inventory and puting it on ground) it is the same effect, but with rez you can have a object make a object anytime you like

with the script on the wiki, when you touch the object it will spawn a object that is in the inventory of that object, they can be very usefull to peaple that can think of what to do with them

wiki.secondlife.com is the best place to start out learning on scripting or exsperiment with freebie script

The word "rez" or "rezz" around here is used to mean "resolve", and can refer either to an object, or to a texture.

So, to rez an object is to make it appear in world (by building, placing on ground or wearing for example), which is what Mrc refers to above.

When people refer to "slow rezzing" it usually means when you first login or teleport and all the textures are gray and gradually the correct textures appear, or you cannot see the people/objects around you until they appear.

Thank you both. I guess I was just thinking that I was missing something. When I make an object it is on the ground, so it seems that in creation it gets rezz'ed. Anyway, I think I feel a little less lost.
