[Opensim-dev] TSB Feasibility Study: Online Virtual Worlds for Urban Regeneration Consultation

[Charles Krinke]

Dear Mic:

I have heard from many folks that realistic terrain is an objective for a number of projects to represent real-life regions in a simulation, so I would vote +1 for any class, written details, tutorial, demo *or* whatever might get this knowledge spread around the Metaverse a bit.

Charles

FWIW...

There are two "plazas" on ScienceSim that use terrain built from GIS
data (Yellowstone National Park and Mt St Helens volcano... should be
one more 4x4 plaza coming soon). Feel free to come by and take a look
(hypergrid info for sciencesim is on the opensim wiki).

If there is interest, I would be happy to do a "class" on the process
I used to make those regions.
