SCULPTY HOT AIR BALLOON & Texture

I've been a part of RL ballooning since the '70s. Admittedly, my "reality" expectations may be set a bit high when it comes to a hot air balloon for SL. I had already created balloon envelope sculpts reflective of those built by RL manufacturers before purchasing this product so I really didn't need another one. The balloon sculpt in this package is not open so you cannot see up inside the envelope but the pattern texture gives the envelope bottom an open inside appearance.

Not happy with the balloon skirt I had created from a cylinder I was wanting to purchase a skirt sculpt, thinking it would be much cheaper than getting Rokuro Pro. Sadly, I didn't catch the skirt "prim" description but I do consider my L$45 well spent solely for the skirt dimension settings.

The balloon texture is blurred but serves as a good pattern for creating your own textures. This is a great "starter" balloon kit for the price. Meanwhile, I'm still on a hunt for the skirt sculpt, wind guard and burners.
