Shower Tray "No2" [c/m/t] Versión 1.0

Wasted money.

The water drain is unfortunately low mesh and too angular, the pattern on the bottom is great, but there are no texture, no AO map or diffuse map and it has only one face, so even with their own textures not much to do, so actually hardly use and much too expensive, measured against the shortcomings

Lovely tray for a shower - have my pool showers above it but even stretching it and adding the drain as covered by the last reviewer - its now 8 prims is rather primmy for what it is !

When it comes to bathroom equipment, SL customisers and amateur builders aren't exactly spoilt for choice. Usually, we have to kit-bash existing items that often incorporate the same full-perm items that come from a small group of full-perm providers. This means there's a lack of variety, and too few eras are covered in a manner that can be considered somewhat adequate - for instance, bathrooms from the '70s and '80s are practically not covered at all. Decent mixing taps are few and far between, and so on. And, sadly, far too many full-perm creators have never bothered to acquaint themselves with the concept of content optimisation.

That said, this product here is a reasonable mesh; its render weight is OK, and its LODs are pretty good, provided you install it in a realistically-sized bathroom. It has, however, a few disadvantages:
1. The creator provides it as a square object, but this distorts the shape of the drain hole: to achieve a round drain hole, one must size it so that the X and Z dimensions (Y is the height here) have a 1:1.264 ratio;
2. No AO map is provided. This greatly limits its usefulness, and I can easily understand why many people would choose not to buy it. Yes, you can stick a cylindrical prim in there to be the drain hole, size it accordingly, and put a proper texture on it. But why use extra objects and increase the LI when you can avoid it?
