Second Life Texture Service

[animats]

Second Life has a "texture service" for maps. Grid Survey and some map programs use these.

For example, Burns sim has "http://texture-service.agni.lindenlab.com/9fba4260-547e-1eb3-5357-8435a6f1dda8/320x240.jpg/":

Map

Elevation data (Elevation data probably follows this format. height = R*G/128 meters, water height=B meters)

Anyone doing much with this info? I'm looking at feeding them into Mapbox, which is an open source Javascript library for terrain info. Check out this link for an example. Mapbox can turn terrain tiles into a fly-through relief map. We'd be able to fly over the map of SL. I want to see the mountains of the Snowlands. Has anybody done this?

(Why 320x240? These are square areas, and SL map tiles are usually 256x256.)

Not elevation data, just a picture of the bare ground texture.
