Have you released the source to allow you to easily pull in Google Earth data to OpenSim? It'd be awesome to play with!

@Rocky1138 - I only wish that I could have something like that! The technique for getting Google Earth-like data into OpenSim is somewhat painful and tedious, using commercial off-the-shelf ESRI ArcGIS and ERDAS Imagine to get it all done. If I'd written something to bring Earth into OpenSim, I could be proud. As it is, I'm just tired!

Hey, Iamjust starting m7y adventures with OpenSim, is there a way i can get a copy of this UC Berkley campus to run on my machine locally? i want to see all the full renderings and test how they run locally on my machine.

This would give me an idea of how my world will run when I finish building my virtual world for my in house home network.

Thanks!

Wow. That's cool.  I'm very intereested in this.

Can you give information on how you imported GoogleEarth terrains into OpenSim. Step by step if possible. Tnxs

Thanks, it really is cool to have a real-world based virtual world, mirroring a familiar space (at some scale) on what is basically a good workstation-class machine.
