I hope this message isn't filtered out because you might think this is
an ad. But there is a product in Secondlife I would love it. if it was
also available in Opensim. I bought one and it works incredibly well in
SL. It is at
https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/LandMap-Change-your-ground-texture-without-land-powers/236734
on Marketplace. It is called JVTEK's landmap. It lets you put out a
device that gives you options to move markers over a land area as big as
32m x 32m. Once you select the area it reads the shape of that land and
produces a sculpty on a web site and give you the link to download it.
You then drag and drop from your inventory to the device and it places
it right on top of that area of land and lets you make small
adjustments. When you're done you remove the device and the post
markers go to. Then you can use any texture you want on that sculpty.
He gets $L 1500 each, so I doubt they will just hand it over to Opensim,
but I heard he made it from some avaialble source someplace. Maybe
someone could figure out something like that for Opensim? Who ever does
it, will be a hero to so many in the Opensim metaverse. ;)
Somebody, anybody?
Your friend,

it quite differently. This is really a deficiency in the design of
the basic terrain system. If you want something more consistent or
better in some other way, you might *consider using a mesh (or
multiple meshes) for your terrain*.
I am intrigued by your suggestion -- "consider using a mesh (or
multiple meshes) for your terrain." That is, I always considered the
terrain in SL and the OS to be the one built-in mesh (rather than
requiring the need for additional mesh uploads). Still, my findings
plus your explanation (re: the limitations of the blending of the
terrain textures "viewer side") does point to the need for an
alternative that is more consistently viewed by all users.
Does anyone know of any examples of mesh terrain uploads in the
OSgrid? Needless-to-say, I am eager to see what an uploaded mesh
terrain appears (on both a Mac and a PC!).
