[Opensim-users] Can Awesomium be used in OpenSim?

[Stefan Andersson]

Actually, what one _could_ do, is to create a module that serves up a texture on a prim rendered from a web page, then accept x/y grabs on the surface to re-render the texture.


html-on-a-prim, it's been done before, but not cross-platform, afaik?

 

So yeah, sure, go ahead. ;)
 
Best regards,
Stefan Andersson

The viewer already has html/js/css integrated using Gecko on Linux and native facilities (IE backend) on Windows. On OS X I'm not sure whether Gecko or native facilities are used; OS X native being webkit-based just like Google Chrome.
