Sim Surround All-In-One (20 full sim surround scenes, off-sim mountains, islands, reefs, waves, desert, Mars, beaches) Version 4.2

This sim surround landscape instantly makes your island part of a big 3D panoramic environment. The amount of detail of all sculpted terrains is high.

This item has this functionality:

• Switch to a different landscape scene or season (by HUD)
• Change the surface textures of most landscape parts (more than 250 textures available in the HUD): you can even use your own textures
• Adjust texture properties: brightness, glow, transparency, repeat factor, color, full bright, shininess
• De-rez landscape sections (for instance if you want to leave out the trees of a tropical scene) and rez them again later
• A script takes the landscape to the best position on your land. You can rotate and move it afterwards like any other object in SecondLife. Do not drop it too close to the edge, it may go off-world and end up in your Lost and Found folder!
• Allow others to change the scene and surface textures

Other characteristics are:

• Its size is 1000x1000m. An island measures 256x256m, which means it covers your island and extends way beyond its limits. However, it cannot be seen from other islands that do not share one full border with your island. Islands that just touch at the corners are no problem to use this item.
• You can combine this landscape with other off-sim elements, like waves and rock structures.
• Matching terrain textures for your land are available in the in-world store.

To your viewer this landscape is a set of sculpted prims with textures. Technically there is not much difference from, for example, a detailed set of furniture. The textures do not contain an alpha channel (except for the off-sim trees and waves) and are not animated (except for ocean waves). There are no particle systems in this item. The surface and sculpt textures take some time to load, but after that they cause no lag and do not obstruct your movements.

Mega prims

This landscape item is made of mega prims. There are some known issues:
• Unscripted sit and multi-sit do not work inside mega prims. Try with the demo to see if this is a problem for you. Read this for technical information: http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-3811
• The way your island is represented on the world map may change. Read this for technical information: http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-5898
