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

[Shaun Erickson]

Maybe those who figure out how to use it could write at least some minimal docs for it. I know I want to try it, so I'll make sure to take notes when I do. If everyone does that, we could make a reasonable README at least.

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.

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?
