Sky-Roads Kit
===========
• Especially useful as sky-roads, but can be used on ground as well
• Carefully optimized physics for best riding experience
• Manually created LOD models for low land impact
• Materials enabled + no materials version
• All parts fit into building grid 0.5m for easy assembling
Dimensions
========
Default width of road surface: 12.2 m
Default width of road segment: 14.0 m
The width of these roads is designed for pleasant cruise speed. It is not recommended to shrink the curved parts, because the physics weight (land impact) can rise in SL. Of course, the straight parts can be resized as needed. Just note that the land impact of mesh in SL varies with its scale.
If you want to link more parts together, note that the maximal allowed distance for linking in SL is 54m.
Mesh Physics
==========
I paid a lot of attention to creating mesh physics which ensures the best possible riding experience. Thanks to that there is finally no vehicle bouncing or jamming into walls as known from other roads:-)
The physics of these roads is non-convex, because of the side walls which makes the shape concave (non-convex). Therefore the Physics Shape Type must be set to Prim Type (this options keeps the original non-convex shape).
LOD Distance Factor
==============
These roads has manually created LOD models for low land impact and pleasant look, but it is always better to set your viewer to increase the LOD distance.
You can find this option under Preferences - Graphics - Objects & Sculpts LOD (maximal value is preferred).
ChangeLog
========
Version 2.0 (06-02-2015)
• Added new helix and slope parts
• Reduced land impact of corner parts from 6 to 5 prims
• Improved look of the concrete texture
AWESOME!
So glad I got this! Super easy to build and its smooth to drive on. Looks amazing as well! LOVE IT!
Awesome, Best I've worked with!
Not even kidding, I enjoy riding and have been building my own custom tracks for a long time and I've never had a track build this easy or diverse - even when building my own. Tweeking the change overs (seams) is always a pain but this kit has cut the time it used to take to nearly nothing. I don't know how KatyProx managed, I've bought a few others to test the builds, but I'm ecstatic over this kit - and I was VERY skeptical in buying it. I don't want to use any other now and hope she keeps up the work, definitely set the bar high for other kits. The prim cost is minimal - period - and for the diversity I couldn't ask for more when sacrificing land impact. I've just started building literally less then an hour ago and stopped to give a review. I'm so pleased with this kit and can't wait to get back to making what will be a fun and unique track!
THANK YOU!
Light years ahead of the rest
I have built 100s of sims and roads in my Sl experience, and have never been so excited about a road system as I am with this one. KatyProxima has raised the bar with this product, its has everything you need to build an exciting and smooth driving experience. You do not have to be an experienced builder to design and build your own road system with this kit, the parts seem to magically pop together and align like nothing I have ever experienced. I highly recommend this product, you will be building amazing roads for years to come with this kit.
It's okay
Nice mesh road kit. But it loads as a prim. It is they size as advertised. However whatever you do, don't shrink it. Prim wise Li grows majorly. Convex hull, it lowers in Li, however then you don't ride the surface. But in all, if you want a road that is well made and good for large land sizes, this is it.
