There is an example plug in in indra/test_apps/llplugintest called demo_media_plugin_2.cpp . It does track mouse movement on the media prim and draw "à la Paint" on it. It's primitive but it's a demo. I tried it some months ago and it worked fine then, I haven't tried recently I need to confess. The trick would be letting > everyone else in a sim see them. Yes, that's the problem: if you're trying to get a user to paint in a texture IW for his/her own enjoyment and profit (may be saving and uploading the texture), mediaplugin should be fine. If you're trying to do collaborative painting, that's another story. There's no mechanism to p2p share the texture built in, though, as I'm saying this, I'm realizing that creating such a plugin should be possible (see Aimee's VNC plugin demo for an example of p2p texture sharing). > Other alternatives would be some kind of VNC on a prim ala Aimee's > Recursive Life demo.

For sure, a collaborative p2p paint plugin would be a pretty cool plugin! Cheers, - Merov
