Since Diva published her posts about her exploration in the
Unity3D<http://metaverseink.com/blog/?p=73>world, some of the us, the
users
who are using more in the last times, Unity than OpenSim in our projects,
that we are really interested in what the OS developers are thinking on this
great opportunity to join OS and Unity.
Actually Unity3D has a limit in 65000 triangles for a meshe to import in it,
but in the next 3.4 release, asset bundles and even complete scenes can be
downloaded on demand and cached locally.

Best regards.
