you can make sculpty maps of your regions using the free Terrain Sculptor from Spinmass. it’s a sort of viewer that you log in with that generates scuplt maps
you can then make a sculpted prim in-world of your region! this is handy for use as a kiosk to show people different aspects of your region. add a TP ball to locations and you have an easy way for visitors to see your work
Love that Terrain Sculpter tool. Those sculpt maps are also a good way to display spatial data for data visualization… since the current viewers don’t allow fine grained control of the ground textures. I wrote about it awhile back at http://fernseed.usu.edu/blog/2009/06/visualizing-data-landscape

it works pretty easily and does a great job – we will be creating a 16 sim map with it, plus sim maps at each “field trip station” for our science education work =)
thank you on the link to your post =)
