<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">I have been trying to find a way to drape digital aerial photographs on terrain in OpenSim and
wondered if there is already a simple solution or if support for this is planned in the near future.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">In my search the nearest anyone has got to this is creating a megaprim textured with a photograph,
stretching across an entire tile. 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?</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
