[Opensim-users] Multiregion Terraforming

[Len Brown]

This is more or less a generalized question.  Earlier today I spent a few
hours in Second Life doing nothing but flying through one region after
another and the one thing that struck me was how does Linden Lab do their
multi-region terraforming?  I know it's pretty simple to splice a terrain
map over 9 or 25 regions in a grid, but when it comes to something as large
as Second Life, with many thousands of regions, how is this accomplished?
Any ideas?

I'd also like to locate a (or some) free 9 and 25 (3X3 & 5X5) region terrain
maps - anyone know of a place where such may be obtained?  Maybe a main
small continent and some small islands scattered around its edge...

I'm currently maintaining a 25 region 5X5 grid on my home OpenSim server and
am looking for some variety.  Currently most of the regions are perfectly
flat at around 21meters.
