[Opensim-users] Blender as an Opensim client for scene editing

currently not at all. this was just a first quick proof of concept hack 
i did in some 4-5 hours yesterday. it doesn't deal with geometry at all, 
just positions.

to vanilla opensim i don't know if modifiers would make any sense, is 
there anything corresponding?

was thinking this could be an opensim client, supporting things that 
sl/opensim does, and meshes of course with rex. and might be quickly 
useful for better placement of objects, and could integrate the ogre 
export so would have seamless (and mass) upload of meshes too.

Dahlia also told / reminded me that she did the initial primmesher work 
in Blender in py. So it might be possible to get some level of prim 
support easily .. at least enough to recognize what the diff objects 
would be so you could actually work on the positionings :p

for the future, i think we all would like to have something like this in 
all the tools ..
