Solid Mesh Terrains are perfect for easily creating one or several solid land levels high above ground level OR for combining them with regular sim terrain for a more interesting ground landscape. They have naturally shaped solid surfaces that look like regular sim land and allow for any build or activity you could think of. You can use them on full sims and homesteads. They're perfect for a private retreat, a role play level, a place for a friend or a business in the sky. They have a land impact between 69 and 139 (depends on which one you want to use) so land impact shouldn't be a problem. Rezzing and positioning your landscape is easy, in a few clicks you can have your complete landscape installed.

Characteristics
------------------

- The solid mesh part within the boundaries of the region is made of 16 meshes that fit together without gaps or seams. These meshes all have baked textures with normal maps to enhance the terrain shapes.
- All meshes are solid and can be walked/built on to allow for lots of flexibility without the need of problematic "invisiprims". You can, for example, walk into the water when available. They do not obstruct sitting animations.
- The meshes along the borders of the sim have vertical walls to prevent you from falling down. Without these walls you would fall through, even if the meshes themselves would extend exactly to the sim borders or beyond. The meshes have to be exactly in the right position to work well. If they are placed, for example, one meter away from their "sweet spot" you would fall through the surface when close to the sim border. A rez box will help you to position them correctly.
- Big meshes like these generally have a high land impact. These meshes however have been meticulously cleaned to bring down land impact.
- The textures of all mesh terrains can be changed by using a HUD. All have Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter sets available. These sets correspond to the texture sets used on the Version 6.0 Sim Surround landscapes. Changing both the mesh landscape and the sim surround from one season to another is super easy.
- You get best visual results if you enable Advanced Lighting Model in the Graphics menu of your viewer. All version 6.0 items have normal maps (an advanced graphics technique) to improve their looks.
- You can also purchase matching animated sky water (with normal maps for shiny wave ripples) to complete your sky build. This water is NOT part of this package.

Contents
-----------

- Five Mesh landscapes (COPY-MOD)
- HUD to easily change textures, texture properties and seasons
- Set of matching terrain textures to texture other items or your sim terrain (COPY-MOD-TRANS)
- Six mesh terraces (COPY-MOD) to create more flat terrain

Requirements
-----------------
In order to use this type of solid mesh landscape you need to be have rez permission on the complete region. You cannot use it if you own, for example, half a region or a 1/4 region parcel, unless your land lord allows you to. You could, however, delete 12 of the 16 parts and that way leave a 128x128 mesh, which would fit a 1/4 sim corner parcel.
