I am happy to bring you the very first realistic balloon in Second life
Showing off the amazing Havok7 physics engine this balloon use's two opposing forces
Just like Helium and air in the real world here we use some thing a little different but it creates the same effect
Instructions:
Make sure you are standing in a parcel where both build and script processing is allowed.
Wear/attach the Balloon object in your inventory to ether your left hand or right hand the correct animation will be triggered accordingly
You may walk run jump and play holding the balloon it will follow as attached to a string.
Teleporting away will cause the balloon to delete its self
Clicking the balloon will give you color options
To remove the balloon right click on the balloon it’s self and delete it. This will also automatically detach it from your avatar.
Detaching the prim attachment first will cause the balloon to stay and follow.
The balloon can and will Pop at any given moment I have no control over this the timing of the balloon pop it is based on Simulator performance. When the balloon pops it automatically detaches from your avatar.

Awful
Despite my avatar posing while this was attached, I could not see the balloon, unlike the picture. Bad implementation of what could have been a good idea.
