[Opensim-dev] realXtend vs OpenSim

[Dirk Krause]

I should give it a whirl then for sure.

It's some time ago that I tried Ogre3D ... is it possible to have multitexturing/baked lightmaps in Ogre3D and consequently in realXtend?

Can I bake a models shadows in, say, Gile[s] and import these in realXtend?

Hi,

About the viewer being windows-only:

The crossplatform realXtend viewer is coming soon:
http://www.cybertechnews.org/?p=565And the current viewer can be run in
Linux (and os X?) with Wine: http://www.cybertechnews.org/?p=267
Also, the realXtend team is planning the new cross-platform viewer:
