UPDATE 2020:
♥ Now includes 5 textures
♥ Better LOD models to increase visibility at a distance
♥ Updated materials to fix a materials glitch
♥ Physics fix to now allow rezzing directly on top of the covers

The Violetility Mesh Ground Covers were created to allow you the freedom to scatter varied terrain on the ground, on landscaping items, or in skyboxes. Inspired by other games where you can "spray paint" or blend various terrain elements, these ground covers can break up grass with patches of dirt, add some moss to stone, and more.

These flat mesh pieces can be resized without much variance in land impact, and they have high LODs and stay visible from longer draw distances. There are five different types of textures (moss, moss with rocks, grass, dry dirt, and dirt with stones and pebbles) in three different variations each (square, circle, and faded patches). They're materials enabled to add some extra texture and dimension without detracting from the even plane of terrain. Link pieces to lower overall Land Impact.

15 objects are included - 5 types of terrain in 3 different varieties each.

NOTES:
♥ Why mesh instead of textures on prims? Mostly to decrease land impact. 1 prim = 1Li. 1 of these covers = 0.5Li that rounds up to 1Li until you link multiple together.
♥ These items use alpha blending to work as shown. There are limitations to SL alpha blending. When stacked or used with other alphas (things like furniture shadow layers) there may conflict regarding graphics and SL restrictions such as different layers competing to be visible on top.
♥ They are not texture files to apply to your ground, they are not sculpts, and their edges fade out to be used as standalone covers.

great option to make standard land texture less boring

First of all, price of L50 is much appreciated! I bought a nice rectangular gazebo and was trying to figure out something to put in front of it. I first tried a pool, but that wasn't looking right because there isn't a lot of space between the gazebo and the next structure, but I am stuck with this boring , blank bit of land and no idea what to do with it. I thought maybe just a simple bit of dirt entrance leading up to the gazebo would be nice, but I didn't want a path. These ground covers were perfect! I put out the square ground pieces by the gazebo and then the faded pieces further out. It added that little bit of detail that I was missing for that bare bit of land. Great product!

Very well designed

I have no idea how you can do all that work and only charge 50L for it.
This is a very versatile and smart design to handle any surface with some imagination and make a boring ground transform dramatically.
Thank you!!

If you need to hide obvious repeats, joins or just add a bit more variety to your ground textures then this is the essential product or you. I only wish there were more packs available to add to this range. So happy to have found these.

Do you ever need something so specific and think you'll never find it, and here it is? I'm so glad I picked up this ground cover, it does exactly what I need it to do. Beautifully done, lots of options and colours. Looks very good on my new beach plot!

A must have

For anyone who does their own builds and scenery these are a must have. The bump and shine maps are sometimes helpful, and sometimes a little distracting, but it's very easy to remove the maps you don't need.
