![[Black Tulip] How to create ZERO LAG animated water](https://slm-assets.secondlife.com/assets/5696080/lightbox/BlackTulip_CreatingZeroLagAnimatedWater.jpg?1338965475)
Creating animated water in SL is a very basic skill that, sadly, the way it's usually performed, contributes in increasing the server side lag. This is by not being aware of the following fact: the scripts to animate water CAN be removed. Instead, they are left in the prims, and thus, SL has plenty of animated water with (unnecessary) scripts which add to server side lag.
For this reason, I've developed this document, scripts and sample textures, that will teach you how to create zero-lag animated water and put together several animate texture scripts that include a self delete function.
UPDATE!
I've added the documentation also in my website: http://auryn-beorn.blogspot.com/2013/10/creator-resource-how-to-create-zero-lag.html
As a bonus, you can also find a FREE online tutorial that will teach you some basics about creating animated water textures with GIMP, here: http://auryn-beorn.blogspot.com/2013/10/creator-resource-animated-water-texture.html
- full perms scripts
- extensive documentation included
- full perms textures included
Thank you!
Nice and simple! Thank you! :-)
Great Basic Tool and good Knowlegde
This is a great Gift and very good explained, so THANK YOU to Auryn for this!
The Scripts are easy to edit and I may spend Hours to find out all Options :) It is not the Effect like the "Flora Water", but that is a Question of Texturing i think. So everyone has to study a bit!
And it is a Freebie! Because of the Linden Market Politics many good Things are gone, so 5 Stars are not enough :)
A big thank you Auryn Beorn
I think this is awesome, not only this one but the other ones you've made available.
If your reading this, here's a couple names of some other ones I found beneficial by Auryn Beorn .
[Black Tulip] Your Very Basic Particle Templates
[Black Tulip] Low Lag Scripts For Builders
These 2 I've named here ^ are available at no cost right now. All it'll take is a lil of your time. The result will be not only less lag being created, but if your just starting out with building/ scripts etc like I am, you'll gain a greater understanding of how some things are done.
( If by chance you go to get one or both and there is a charge, by no means am I applying that these 2 products will continue to be available at no cost & that you will receive them at no cost.)
Another great one to take a look at I think is :
