Impressive video on that site you linked. Is your intent to be compatible with both Second Life and Opensimulator? How are you communicating PBR parameters with the server? I did the original Materials implementation in OpenSimulator but left the project several years ago and I'm not aware of the current state of that code, but I remember the protocol at the time should have been easily extended to add more parameters without requiring changes to the server code. I wonder if this is still the case and/or if it might work that way in Second Life as well? Of course if you wanted to extend it it would probably be best to do it with LL's inputs and blessings.
If you aren't concerned with SL compatibility and are overwhelmed with the complexity of the LL protocols, it can be easier to add new protocols to OpenSimulator via a "region module" but then again you would probably want to consult with Ubit first. There's probably quite a few reasons why he might like or dislike such an approach. I did quite a bit of work on from-scratch viewers during my time in the project. Unfortunately I never got to the part of varregion terrains or sizes so I can't comment about your questions in your other message. However I did solve quite a few other problems so if you get stuck or want to compare implementation ideas, feel free to contact me. Nice to see the results of the work you've done so far. Best of luck with it! -D On Sat, May 13, 2023 at 9:28 PM John Nagle <na...@animats.com> wrote: > I have a request pending for access to the wiki. > > na...@animats.com, user name "animats". > > I'm developing a new viewer, Sharpview. > > http://www.animats.com/sharpview > > I'm into documentation, and want to improve the documentation > as I explore dark, undocumented corners. > > John Nagle > _______________________________________________ > Opensim-users mailing list > Opensim-users@opensimulator.org > http://opensimulator.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/opensim-users > _______________________________________________ Opensim-users mailing list Opensim-users@opensimulator.org http://opensimulator.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/opensim-users
