A RealXtend+OpenSim+SketchUp+Ogre Meshes can be found here. Every house you see here is about 6 prims and every 6 trees is one prim. Hooray for meshes. :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWfnNqf7x0s Textures are not baked unfortunately, but applied manually in the REX texture tab. If anyone can explain in plain English (or Dutch) how this works, I'd be him/her forever thankful. ^^ With kind regards, Peter PS. do not hesitate if you have questions regarding to meshes. Since it -is- the future I'm happy to help out. 2010/1/15 John Hurliman <jhurli...@jhurliman.org> > I had Verse+realXtend Viewer+Blender+OpenSim working as a prototype at one > point.
