[Opensim-users] what is the quickest way to import an avatar into opensim?

[dogwomble at exemail.com.au]

I  assume the OP knows that Imprudence will only export items where you
are the creator of all parts.

In saying that you may be able to get away with placing all parts of the
avatar into a cube and then using Imprudence to export the cube. You can
then reimport into OpenSim and reassemvle the avatar.  I think theres a
limit to how many nested levels Imprudence can expirt but for simpler
avatars this might well offer a solution.
