This is a nice little pumpjack prop for any dessert or plains style SIM. It's great for general RP or just as a backdrop to any SIMs environment. It runs with procedural animation using simple trigonometry methods. The animation script at full load only pulls 0.013ms of sim time so many rigs can be rezzed without much server lag.
The textures on it come with full material support from detailed normal maps to light adjusting specular ones so pump up those graphics settings and enjoy the show.
As with all Gearwolf builds, this model comes with custom Level Of Detail to prevent triangular mess at distances and a custom physics shape for low land impact.
NOTE: This item is not using PBR(cook-torrence) it is using the older advanced materials(blinn-phong) lighting model. It will be updated eventually to PBR and remastered with legacy materials as an option.
EDIT: Thanks to user StormSpirit Gearbox for pointing out the sound issue hope everyone enjoys the audio.
Model Statistics:
Triangles: 2,261
Vertices: 3,175
Land Impact: 28
Physics Impact: 2.1
Update: 07/02/2024
1. Moved menu functionality to another script so it will no longer pause when clicking on dialogs.
2. Added FPS control to dialog window so residents can now change the clock speed. (useful for slow sims)
3. Rewrote the animation code so it now uses Inverse Kinematics to solve the joints, this has resolved the drifting issues with the bars.
4. Added memory clamps to the scripts they now use 43KB total instead of 64KB per script.
5. Added another link to the cable so it bends around the end more natural.
6. Back axel now spins on the belt drive
7. Metal frame now makes contact with the concrete
8. Dropped land impact from 32 to 28
9. Added more detailed physical shape to the base frame.
10. Updated ladder to now use alpha masking, it should no longer show up on top of transparent objects.
- Full material support
- Custom Level Of Detail
- Custom Physics Shape
- Low Land Impact
- Low Lag Script
Looks great
This is amazing, can be re-sized easily (for a much lower LI) while retaining its functionality. Animates relatively smoothly even on a sim that's at max capacity. (As good as can be done in SL)
The best pumpjack

GREAT BUILD!!!! GREAT ANIMATION AND SOUND!!!!
This build will look great on any sim. Animations are smooth and the sounds are subtle. Not overwhelming. Build looks very realistic. The only issue I had was the colors looked a bit to bright. However this was easily fixed by going into edit mode and tinting the entire structure with a light grey. This helped mute the colors and vastly improved how it looks.
Worth the Linden investment:)
update with sounds
Owner added sounds too this wonderful creation making totaly worth it now updating my review to 5 stars added sounds was all that this was missing but now there here and they sound really good :3
