[Opensim-users] moving large build from opensim to Second Life

[Jason Shipley]

Just remember, any prims created in grids supporting sizes larger than  
10x10x10 will snap to that size when imported to SL.  The only way to work  
around this is to find megaprims from the usual sources in SL (or use this  
site: http://prims.streamgrid.net/, or grab this hud:  
https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/SALT-Free/334272) and replace the  
ones that have shrunk to the default SL limit.

Imprudence will in fact export textures along with the objects  
themselves.  You'll wind up with an XML file containing the prim info and  
a series of encrypted image files, one for each texture (I believe they  
are JPEG2000 files).  Once in SL, you must select "File > Import + Upload"  
which will push the textures up along with the prims and re-apply them.   
Each texture will, of course, co$t you 10L to upload ;(
