[Opensim-users] Draping aerial photographs on terrain in opensim

[Tony Moore]

Hi there,
I have been trying to find a way to drape digital aerial photographs on terrain in OpenSim and wondered if there is already a simple solution or if support for this is planned in the near future.
In my search the nearest anyone has got to this is creating a megaprim textured with a photograph, stretching across an entire tile. Also, looking at Second Life there is support for repetitive texturing of terrain, so you can drape a photo over a portion of a tile; this pattern is replicated many times to cover the entire tile. The photo you can load in for this has a size limit (I think 500x 500) - if this limit was lifted then conceivably one photo could stretch over the entire tile? Or are there any other solutions out there?
Thanks for any advice you can give,
Regards,
Tony
