[Opensim-dev] The state of content tools

[Impalah]

Hi:

I'm the creator of the Autocad importer (Henshin). It's not open source,
right now, but it's free, except the Second Life builder (around 3 euros).

For opensim there is a region plugin for building/cleaning, quite simple,
but actually it isn't working. Was developed one year ago and the APIs
changed :-) I have pending the migration, I am too busy now with another
project, but maybe in september there will be a working version.

The opensim builder will be open source, as soon as I can take some time to
resolve the "bugs" and upload to forge. the Second life builder won't be
free.

And, as the rest of importers (blender, sketch up, prim composer...), it
works with predefined "sl prims", so you can't import anything directly; you
have to convert the existing 3D stuff to "sl stuff".

Greetings
