I have several RAW terrain files that I would be glad to share. Rather than email them one by one, I thought I should post them somewhere on the web. The question is, WHERE is the best place?

My basic idea is to post a 3D view, with a link to download the RAW file. I'd love to sell them (really cheap), but SLBoutique is for selling stuff in world, not stuff you download.
    I could post them here. But they are big.
    I could start a blog, and post them there.
    I could post them in one of the internet texture sites, if I knew which one is good for an almost free texture.
    Other, you suggest...

Lee, there are a few things you can do. You could create a project in the SL area of Instructables and you CAN make your files available as freebies on SLX or SLB. Some people are selling their island designs on those sites- I don't know how they do it, since RAW and ZIP aren't valid forms of upload, but I wonder whether they just give you a 256x256 texture of the grayscale terrain channel for you to paste into your own RAW file? Or perhaps they email you a notecard with an URL to a secure web site?

Anyway, it IS possible, assuming you've got at least a 16 sq. m. parcel to drop a Magic Box on. (And heck, you can drop a box on my land if you don't have any land of your own.)

You could also set up a free blog and link to your downloadable files from one of the free file sharing sites like Xdrive or File Factory.

Hi Lee,

Did you ever find somewhere to host your raw files? If not - would you be interested in designing an island sim for me?
