Two Words: Prim Imagemaps …

Ok go play :) - that’s going to get us over the hump until we have true surface clicking..

Thats is one things we have to be careful of; rendering lots of html pages can take up a lot of processing power. So with that it mind, I've now made the system more modular. There is a general dynamic texture module that manages all the update timing and the putting the texture image onto the prim etc. But now there are also render/converter modules that register themselves with the dynamic texture module saying that they know how to render whatever format into a texture. So one of the benefits of this, is that now the core function of those render modules can (if required) be on other computers. All the dynamic texture modules requires of them is the image data. So if a person expects their regions to support a lot of dynamic textures then they could easily set up another computer on the same Lan (or even if wanted anywhere on the internet) that handled the rendering. (One such computer could handle the rendering for a number of regions) Another benefit of having these rendering modules is that different types can be wrote. I'm currently experimenting with a PDF one. So with that, a prim can be displaying a page from a PDF file (somewhere on the internet) and a script could change pages etc, maybe responding to a user touching that prim or another prim (ie maybe pagedown/pageup prims being next to the display one). So to start with, we should have modules supporting these two file formats (html and pdf). Btw, the answer to "Which kind of prims?" is any prims. Will it be server-killing?
