The Frames
==========
These ornate frames come in a range of sizes and standard aspect ratios, all with matching frame widths and pattern repeats for a seamless, sophisticated art display. The frame is deliberately kept stylishly slim to give more room for pictures.
You get nine sizes in 1:1, 1:2, 3:4 and 2:3 aspects: 1x1, 1x1.333, 1x1.5, 1.5x1.5, 2x1, 2x1.5, 2x2, 2x2.666 and 3x2 meters (n.b. size is picture size; frame is larger by 7cm each edge as supplied). Four colours/styles are available in other packs.
They can of course be used in portrait or landscape, and are copy/mod so can be resized as you wish (resize them all by the same ratio to keep the identical frame proportions).
The picture face is actually two, independent faces, one just behind the other. Having two faces allows lots of tricks... see the Changer script :)
Full use is made of advanced materials with hand made specular, normal and specular intensity maps for a sumptious metallic shine.
All LOD levels are hand made and the frame has excellent LOD performance. Land impact is an astonishing <0.25* LI download cost per piece even though the mesh is highly detailed and visible at a good distance (even in a room the size of a football field!). You could possibly link them to a building (depending on the building's behavour - my builds allow it) and hardly have any additional LI as it gets absorbed in the house total.
*Of course, this is rounded up to 1 for an individual frame, and each has a server LI of 0.5 as that's the minimum so linking two frames is 1LI, 3 frames will be rounded to 2. But link them to a building with server cost to spare and that can be absorbed.
The Changer Script
==================
A picture changer script is included for free (yes, I'm saying free because I had planned to sell it seperately, it's that good).
Calling it a picture changer is a bit insulting; the script can smooth fade from one picture to the next, or even animate a foreground or background picture while your main images change on a timer. You can use any images with alpha for these effects and choose it from a menu; a falling snow texture makes a wonderful foreground overlay at this time of year. The fatpacks include a free snow texture to get you started, as well as being exceptional value :)
You need to drop the changer script into the frame yourself if you want it; I've left it out to save lots of unused scripts lagging the servers.
The fatpacks also include a frame texture changer script (click the frame edge).
The Changer script has the usual functions you would expect too of course; you can just use it as a simple, timed picture change, rotate pictures (on both faces), animate left, right, up and down, choose a static picture from a menu, etc. Just load up the frame and have fun!
