A free zone or mainland area in Dubai—has anyone built something like that on Kitely yet?

[Patrice Prudent]

Hey, a few days ago I ended up watching some videos about Dubai’s architecture, especially around the DIFC area and some of the districts outside of it, and honestly it instantly gave me ideas for my Kitely island. What really caught my eye was how different the atmosphere feels depending on the area. I even stumbled on an article about freezone vs mainland in Dubai, and it kinda helped me understand why those parts of the city have such a distinct look and vibe. Now I’d really like to recreate something similar, but I’m still struggling with large mesh facades. Every time I add more details, the file size goes crazy during compilation. I already played around with a basic setup in Blender, but my UVs turned into a complete mess lol. If anyone here has tried building large-scale urban scenes in OpenSim, even something pretty rough, I’d really appreciate some tips, especially when it comes to texture optimization and keeping everything reasonably lightweight.
