[sldev] http-texture project - how far until complete? (this will totally Rawk SL!)

[Fire]

Thanks for the answer Philippe... I hope LL gives you ALL the resources you
need for this - cuz this would really increase the immersion and richness of
SL... just wondering if input will also be possible via Flash or html forms
that have been fed into SL?
