Horse & Buggy Ride Rezzer

Showcase your sim by offering horse and buggy rides for your visitors and guests. We have it set up in world at the "See Item in Second Life" link below.

This is a highly detailed mesh buggy with a top that clicks open and closed and a seamless mesh horse with realistic leg action. The buggy rides are easy to set up and take 1 or 2 riders. Riders can fine tune their position on the ride and choose between Just Friends or Cuddle animations. Advanced users can choose physical or keyframe motion. Each time a new horse and buggy rezzes, the horse is a random choice among 9 different horse colors.

Our horse rides are easily the least expensive and most well-made, user friendliest tour-type products in Second life - costing one tenth as much as those from other vendors, and yet lower LI and better made.

Setup is very easy - have a look at the VIEW VIDEO by clicking the link below. Once set up, the rezzer will keep a Horse and Buggy rezzed at all times, ready to take riders.

The Horse and Buggy is 18 land impact and has copy and modify permissions - though scripts are not modifiable.

**Waypoint/Path Tips and Caveats**:

**Make sure that the rezzer contains no more than one _waypoints notecard. If it contains more than one, it will still only use the notecard named "_waypoints" rather than any you have added later, which will be named "_waypoints 1", "_waypoints 2" etc.

** The ride will not be good on very hilly and twisty terrains. The bumpier or curvier the path, the more likely there will be a failure of the desired tour path or it will look unrealistic. Tight curves are not likely to work very well. We've done what we can to make the script work well for a wide variety of terrains, but we can't guarantee all possible paths will look nice.

**The route **MUST NOT** cross sim boundaries**.

**People tend to make overly ambitious tours when they first get the touring system, and then find that the horse and buggy get hung up various places along the tour. It is best to start out simple. Then as you get to know how the horse and buggy behave, you can make things more complicated.

**On straight/flat surfaces, you might need only 2 data points at the start and flinish - but if you are using physics there is a 64 m distance limit between points. Try to make waypoints a maximum of every 15-20 m.

** The memory capacity of the script is about 70 waypoints.

** Sharp turns can look unrealistic. Gradual turns are better. For turns, record several waypoints during the turn.

** If you have more than about 50 data points, the delay during the time that the horse is learning the data will be excessive. The best routes will use less than 40 or so data points.

** your tour path can start and stop in the same place, but it does not have to. When riders dismount, the horse and buggy tour cleans itself up, so you can also set up tours that start in one area and end in another. (The tour prims are temporary and will exist for only up to about 60 sec unless someone is sitting on them).

ABOUT ANTIQUE ARTISTRY
-----

Antique Artistry was formed in 2006 by two long-time SL creators, Poppet McGimsie and Fatima Ur, who have created literally thousands of SL objects, animations, scripts, textures and soundscapes.

Poppet has been developing her horses and rides for ten years, most recently offering SLs first seamless mesh horse with realistic leg movements.

We are able to offer items here on the Marketplace at a great savings, since we no longer need to spend thousands of dollars per month paying tier. These items are offered at a savings of hundreds of Lindens over what they would cost in our in world stores and are of the same high quality and workmanship as you will find being sold by others at a much higher cost.
