[Opensim-users] PC vs Mac OS Viewer Issue (with a Solution)

[Kim Minuet]

I'm currently looking at using microdem to convert DEM data into grayscale heightmaps, which I'll import into L3DT to convert to .R32 format (there maybe a shorter path here, still looking into it) ... if someone else has been here before then let me know, otherwise I'll post my progress in this thread.
