Light & Dark Versions | Includes plants. Copy/Mod 8 LI
See item in Second LifeA well-modeled cypress tree ...
For the knowledge of potential purchasers, the contents include a single tree that is linked to a handful of small plant meshes. I did not particularly care for the small plants at the base of the tree, but your mileage may vary. The plants can be unlinked and removed.
The tree itself comes in a "light" and "dark" version. Notably, the "dark version" is the same exact model with the same textures, only tinted darker by applying an olive-like color to the texture.
The tree is pretty and well made, but it is very small for a cypress tree. With the "additional plants" removed, the tree is 7 land impact and stands approximately 7.15 meters in height. For comparison's sake, there are three other major Cypress Trees available on the market (that I am aware of), each of which stand close to 30 meters in height.
When this tree is increased to a comparable / relatively similar size as those other trees, the land impact scales up to 70. I won't name the other brands, but I will tell you that one of them weighs in at approximately 45 - 80 land impact at a comparable scale (that being the high detail option), while the other two choices range extremely efficiently at about 3-7 land impact at that scale.
Notably, this tree is far more similar to the "high detail" option that you can find from another well-known creator. I actually like this tree better than theirs, and it clocks in at a comparable or "slightly better" total land impact weight when scaled similarly. That said, do be aware that if you blow this up to a realistic scale that it does get pretty heavy on land impact.
For the price, especially considering the price of the other "high detail option" out there ... I'd say this is a pretty good product. The biggest downside is the fact that you only get one unique tree model out of the purchase, but at least the model you receive is nice and the price you pay for it is reasonable.
