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 30x30 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. Hi dol0b, Just want skinned terrain on OpenSim from earth?
