Off-Sim 1/4 Sim Corner Landscape HIGHLANDS COAST LITE, off-sim waterfalls, forrest, hills, mountains, beaches, trees Version 6.0
Details
THIS LITE VERSION DOES NOT HAVE A HUD TO CHANGE SEASONS AND/OR TEXTURES
This off-sim landscape is made of high quality sculpted mega prims with state of the art baked textures. It has a couple of properties that make them better than others:
INNOVATIONS
----------------
- All surface textures have normal maps. These normal maps dramatically increase the details seen on the landscape surface, especially when your sun has a low altitude (i.e. sunrise, sunset). NOTE: normal maps can only be seen when Advanced Lighting is enabled!
- All tree textures have normal maps as well, which makes them appear to have a 3D shape, like real trees do. Even when being lit from behind the trees appear to have a realistic shape
- This landscape has waterfalls. These are animated in such a way that lag is as low as possible, using frames instead of smooth animation. The waterfall textures also have normal maps, which makes the water appear as 3D
- The trees further away from the sim are "billboards", which means they only have one side exactly facing the sim. By using this technique, one single mega prim can have as many as 42 trees. Trees closer to the sim have four sides so they look better when you move around on your sim or cam around
OTHER PROPERTIES
----------------------
- This landscape does not obstruct any kind of sit animations
- It is copyable: keep a copy in your inventory and you can't lose it (but also can't give it back for a refund... get the demo first!)
- A version with and one without trees are included. Don't want the trees? Use the [NO TREES] version, it will save land impact
LAND IMPACT
---------------
Full version: 84
NO TREES version: 62
WHERE TO USE IT
--------------------
- You can use this surround on any two sides waterfront 1/4 sim parcel. Also usable on islands that touch at your corner with another island.
- This landscape is meant for use at sim ground level: it is not particularly suitable for use in the sky
- It is perfect for both homesteads and full sims
IMPORTANT
-------------
Before using this landscape, set your DRAW DISTANCE to at least 150m and disable LIMIT SELECT DISTANCE in the Advanced menu of your viewer.

Beautiful but...
It's a really nice piece and well made so for that absolutely 3 stars. However, it would be nice if there was a way via menu or edit that we could move the base prim further back. Also, the piece is actually bigger than a 1/4 parcel...not by much but enough that I cannot use it as it goes in front of my neighbors property. Again, with it being no mod I cannot make it smaller or remove pieces to make it fit. Therefore, its a pretty $450 inventory filler for me.
Can't change the textures Can not change it at all
This is false you cannot change anything on this 1/4 Sim Surround. It shows you many lovely textures you can change it to but has no hud and is NO MODIFY!! Waste of 450 L. I want my money back!
