(actually in reality it’s in the hundreds because of the extra points for
lighting). That means your scene polycount is at minimum *6 for people viewing
the converted version. May be fine for small numbers, but for large numbers I’d
really just stick to in-viewer meshes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>I'm not sure if this is the
tool you're referring to, but something similar is illustrated by this LSL
script: <a

<p class=MsoNormal>I've heard of a tool that once existed that could recreate a
tri-mesh (all polygons are in the form of triangles) object and reproduce it in
SL with triangular shaped prims. I think it was a combination of a blender
script and a LSL script. The problem with such an approach is the relatively
high cost of prims in SL. I cant remember the name of the tool but I suspect
some careful googling and/or searching the SL forums might get you there.<o:p></o:p></p>
