From Erik Mondrian on June 29, "A topographic model I made showing Sansara [https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Sansara] and Heterocera [https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Hete...], Second Life’s two oldest mainland continents — with 982 and 433 regions, respectively. You can get a closer look at Heterocera in one of my previous videos: • Terrain Model of the Heterocera Conti... You can also see a model of the atoll inworld [http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife...] by going to my exhibit parcel for SL21B [https://community.secondlife.com/blog...].
I gathered each region’s elevation data at half-meter X and Y intervals using an interconnected set of LSL scripts — feeding that data to my computer via a series of HTTP requests — then (re)constructed and textured the terrain model(s) in Blender using its incredibly powerful Python API [https://docs.blender.org/api/current/...]. The textures themselves were downloaded from SL’s “Picture Service” [https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Pict...], with UUIDs available thanks to Tyche Shepherd and her indispensable Grid Survey database [http://gridsurvey.com/api.php]."
