Hi dol0b, Just want skinned terrain on OpenSim from earth? Sure thing – but it’s not easy and it doesn’t go onto the terrain. Thank the folks at Linden Lab for making a very limiting choice back in, say, 2002.
The prim you saw might have had 30×30 terrain elevation points on it. I’ve seen similar in SL.

If you are referring to a prim with http:// links, and those links go to Google Maps — well, maybe they’ll even go to Google Earth. But that’s still just a window and not quite the same as having a 3D virtual space, is it?
I don’t have special magic with the terrain. Just lots of hard small steps. These are documented on my blog and very little is not described. That which isn’t is probably clear to anyone following along the steps.

Comment on Terrain on tap – OpenSim on deck by Anjin Meili

I recall when sculpties were released to SL back a couple years back now. Inside the first 30 minutes I had quickly coded an SL terrain to sculpted prim mapper and released it to opensource.

Since, I have worked on many projects showing people how to convert data from nearly anything, into sculpted textures. And a passion has always been GIS information.

Lots of sample code and the like at http://www.skyhighatry.com/ Dig thru the forums.

I have quite a bit of unreleased code as well, including work for NASA and NOAA to bring RL GIS information into SL as ‘sculpted carpet’.

Cheers

In my Ubuntu 8.04.1 x86_64 server, I should compile libode with:

./configure –with-trimesh=opcode –enable-shared

using trimesh=gimpact will cause segfault while running OpenSim.exe
