[vos-d] SecondLife client goes Open Source

[Peter Amstutz]

One thing I've been wondering about -- while their primitives seem to be 
a pretty clever solution to the bandwidth problem, is their graphics 
architechture completely committed to being based on prims?  With the 
rest of the world being based on straight triangle meshes or surface 
patches, their graphics model seems to be completely unable to keep up 
with the state of the art in 3D graphics.

That said, prims are something I'd like to incorporate into VOS, 
eventually.
