The Mirror Box is a box with pictures on the inside. The pictures were all taken in Second Life. In the middle there is an almost transparent water layer. The pictures under water are the mirror image of the ones above water, so it seems like the water perfectly reflects the skies, land and trees above.

About 70 different scenes have been loaded in the Mirror Box. Some scenes have only sky, most also have land and trees (for all these pictures exclusively our Landscapes Unlimited 3d landscapes were used). The water layer can be changed to your wishes and also changed to ice. There is one space scene, with only stars around, without water.

There is a menu that lets you change the scene. You get the menu when you click the screens or the water for about 1 second, or by rezzing and touching the remote control. The menu also lets the owner change some settings, for example to allow group members to change the scene as well.

The land impact is 12. The box is excluded from the physics system, which means it doesn't cause any lag and also that you will fall through it if you try to stand/walk on it. You need to make your own place in the middle to stand on.

The box is available in 10 sizes, from 32x32x32 meters (for a 1,024 m2 parcel) till 1x1x1 km. They are all perfect cubes. You can also get a discounted fat pack, with all of them inside. Free demos are available as well.

The effect of the box can be improved by using items that also seem to reflect in the water. The "Mirror Box - Props" are particularly suited for that (also available in the inworld store).

The only surround you'll ever need

This is just stunning. I own a lot of different surrounds and this one blows them all out of the water. I use two of these on my land and have built two entirely different worlds. Just. Amazing.

I do second (third? more?) the suggestion for a couple of sci fi/futuristic/cyberpunk themes, but I am using one of the city night themes and it's working out pretty well for my sci fi build.

Go to their sim and try one of these babies out. It's worth it. If you buy one, be sure to pick up their mirrored items pack. It adds a lot to the effect.

Quite lovely

The texture choices are seamless even with the sky, which is hard to find. I am very pleased with this purchase. I would highly recommend it to anyone. So many themes, and simple to allow others to change them. Would be awesome for landlords or group owned lands... it's truly the only skybox you ever need. Except for perhaps the other sizes lol.

This is an extraordinary addon to my mainland sky island
full star full star full star full star full star Posted November 17, 2018 by Delirium Sorrowsong

I live in a very busy ... very ugly ... part of the mainland. There is literally no height that is not completely full of unpleasant builds. I have spent plenty of time derendering so many of the neighboring builds but they're constantly changing and it takes more time than I'm willing to invest. Plus, that does nothing to help my visitors unless they, too are willing to take that effort. This surrounds my 64m plot with enough space between the screen and my island to look perfectly natural. I'm a real fan of this product and highly endorse it for anyone looking for a privacy surround for their busy parcel. There are so many options, that I have trouble choosing, and will likely be changing it frequently.

Thank you for this lovely product. I now feel like I'm at home.
