----- If you are referring to "Blue Mars", they do not have lots of anything yet, since it is still early beta, but I tested moving objects from SL to Blue Mars early on. It is possible, but not easy, since you have to convert prims to editable polygons in some 3D program, and textures from .tga to .dds format. The texture settings beyond the filename (repeats, glow, etc) are entirely different, and scripts are in LUA language rather than LSL, so are not compatible. So the work involved is a significant fraction of what it takes to create an item from scratch, and to do it you need the kind of knowledge a content creator needs to have. To limit (but not 100% prevent) illicit content from flooding their world, they are: - using encrypted 7zip archives to deliver content to end users - only allow registered developers to upload content and cash out - require renting a shop to sell items - do not have user-to-user item transfer How successful these limits are remains to be seen. _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
