UPDATED: 27 November 2016 - Changed from sculptie to mesh to drastically reduce avatar rendering cost and we have reduced script memory by half.

Introducing the bat swarm avatar.
(See bottom of the page for demo and related products).

Bats are nocturnal and associated with many myths and legends of the night. They are a powerful image for most and can be used to help enhance the darker side of a character. If you are a demon, vampire, wraith, goth, sorcerer / wizard / sorceress, elemental spirit or even a powerful dragon this avatar can give you an alternative traveling and interaction form to roleplay in. Or even if you just want something different when you go shopping.

The avatar features;

- smoothly animated swarming bats. (highly effective animated texture on a sculpt prim).
- specially created AO to enhance the swarms movements.
- subtle particles when you walk/run/fly (poofer is optional).
- optional sounds of bats chittering.

The bat avatar uses under 900kb (was 1.8mb) of script memory since the update.

Though this is a simple avatar in essence, it has been made with the darker side of night to hand and chaos in mind.

Ok,so let me make it clear from the beginning. I am extremely picky, so when I choose to review a product it is because it is really good ,like this one here. I was reading the reviews and one of them saying it is not "fancy enough" ,well,I don't know about that, what I do know is that the movement of the bats are really smooth and in the end that's what the AO does, smooths the movement ,to make it more flowy and the bats wouldn't look like they are having a spasm *cheesy grin* lol
The creator of this did an amazing job, given the complexity of the movement ,as from one builder to another, all I can say is hats down and thank you for making it available at such a low price.
Oh and a suggestion .. maybe make something similar that can be worn on a regular avatar..like bats flying around the person :D Thank you again,keep up the good work

its a nice bit of toy, however I am still to see what on earth the AO is to do ? i turn it off and then i turn it onn, no change to the swarm of bats, I also expected to see the swarm of bats to taper in the end if it moved so it did not look like one the same animation as it was standign still but nope nothing. this product has so much abulity to please but failed to deliver SOME of the things it said it would. But it did not lie in saying it was a smouth product and it makes bat noises how nice ! its worth buying if you do not expect fancy features but a stong build it is !

Still yet to see the diffrance in the AO ?!?!
