With this Skybox you will have a modern, wide open living space that will impress your friends. Great textures with baked-in shadows and lighting make for an awesome visual experience, even with average graphic settings.

Special attention was paid in order to make the Skybox look good at any distance and with any possible graphic settings. Still, all this will only cost you 23 prims of your land, so there is plenty left to decorate the place.

While the upper level is perfectly suited for a bed or relaxed place to hang out, the lower level, lit by the sun as well as an orchestra of ceiling lights, is the perfect place to fully enjoy the active side of your second life.

Both levels are separated by a wall that holds a water feature. It's a water wall, where water flows down a marble wall and into a basin. There are two switches that will allow you to control the speed of the water, as well as the volume of its according sound. Two water versions (different water textures) are supplied, and you could easily add more.

The Skybox ships in three versions:
» with baked lighting and shadows;
» with baked lighting and shadows, full bright;
» and with ambient occlusion only.

Where 'baked lighting and shadows' will give you textures that simulate the light and its shadows, the 'ambient occlusion' version will only give you some slight shadows where objects meet. That said, the baked version will suit most people, where the AO version might be more appropriate for users with dynamic shadows activated in their viewer. The full bright option could be of use when baked shadows are desired, but you find the Skybox to be too dark.

Since this is a mesh Skybox, you can't modify it too easily. For example, it is not possible to move walls. In any case, building experience and some knowledge about mesh would be needed in order to achieve any useful results. However, all used textures ship with the Skybox - full perm. You are free to download them, alter them to your needs (add your logo, for example), re-upload and apply them. The same goes for the scripts, and the water sound - all are supplied full perm and you can go ahead and edit them in any way you want. Please just keep in mind to make a backup copy before you perform any changes.

Two more important notes: the door is not scripted, so it will not open. However, you can make it phantom or script it, if you want to. The window has no option to cover/close it. Both of these things might change with future versions of the Skybox, in case customers demand them. :)

That should wrap it up. Any questions? IM me!

I was very pleased with my purchase of the Hito Mesh House, so thought I'd add the Taki Mesh Skybox Loft. Again, it's excellent, very high quality finish indeed, and again a snip at L$700. Beautiful and low-prim, perfect for a 512 parcel.

Wonderful and Sophisticated

It is hard to find small houses for 512 lots that feel roomy, allow generous cam views, and are beautifully built. This house is everything I wanted. It took me five minutes to set up, uses so few prims I had no trouble furnishing it, and I love inviting friends over to see my sophisticated cool space. I would prefer a fireplace on the long wall instead of the empty bookcase but that is a small matter. I looked at just about everything available in houses of this size, and this is the one that stood out for me.

This is a great skybox. It's only 23 prims but still looks great, which makes it good for people who want to watch their prim count. It also comes with all the textures so you can mod it without losing the cool baked lighting effects. The little water feature is a nice touch too. I'll be using this skybox for a long time I think.

Excellent Quality

I use this skybox as my house, and I have to say - I absolutely love it! You're able to adjust the sound and speed of the water, and over all the house is very simplistic (which I absolutely love!). I would recommend this to anyone looking for a skybox. I'm not quite sure it's not as popular as it should be. 10/10, will buy future products.

I wasn't looking for anything huge and wanted something nice. I was so surprised the maker sold this very detailed and beautifully meshed skybox so cheap! One of the best detailed skyboxes I have found that made me happy. The maker is super kind and can't wait to see what he makes next!!!
