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

[Diva Canto]

The code is available here:
https://github.com/diva/TerrainTools

I hesitated in making this known, because there is absolutely no 
documentation *whatsoever*, not even a README file. Whoever wants to use 
it needs to read the code in order to figure out how. This code exists 
because I need it, not because I want ppl to use it; it's in a public 
repo, rather than a private one, because the core of it came from Adam 
Frisby, so I thought I'd make it public. But I don't have any time to 
answer any questions about how to use it.

If you manage to use it and -- better yet -- improve it, patches are 
most welcome.
