[Opensim-users] Can a script be written to periodically upload textures from a server?

[Justin Clark-Casey]

The Dynamic Textures facility is only available in OpenSimulator scripting (OSSL).

However, there still wouldn't allow you to dynamically update a COLLADA model from an external data source.  It would be 
possible to pull the data and generate a new mesh with region module code (and even update the original object I think 
though that would be rather messy).  The harder part would be transforming the model - the SL viewer translate COLLADA 
into its own data format before uploading to the simulator.  One would need to emulate this and I'm not sure that's been 
done yet in libopenmetaverse or elsewhere.
