[Opensim-users] transitioning assets from Second Life to OpenSim

Thu May 7 01:13:34 UTC 2009

Hmm, many of the builders I know in SL create all their items in SL and have
no idea how they would be able to sell or even give away their items from SL
to other grids. None of them have any interest in buying or using Second
Inventory (I am not sure why). Maybe a good question might be, "Can a tool
be created within the viewer to allow the easy sharing of prims or groupings
of prims along with their associated textures that have been created in SL?"
