///// Steampunk Mill /////
// Introduction:
If you like steampunk, you will probably appreciate this 3d concept art.
This creation was made with the less prims' impact possible.
It is composed of 90% mesh parts and I tried to provide the best quality for it.
It took me one week of work to create this windmill, I used photoshop, 3ds max, audacity, textures maker.
// Features:
- Low polygones mesh (low fps loss and SL friendly) / Basically the minimum land prims' impact is 27, but when it is scaled to fit avatar's normal size, it is more something like 57 prims.
- The full 3d object is provided *modify - *copy -*no transfer, so feel free to rescale it as you wish.
- The Mill is packed in a rezzer (rez faux system), just drop the "yellow big hex nut" on the ground and follow the pop up instructions.
- I applied quality textures and materials to the 3D model, most of those ones were handmade.
I made ambiant occlusion and I even added spotlights to generate shadows on the 3d model itself.
- The windmill is not only good looking from outside, you can enter and visit inside too. There is a flour sacks storage room and a millstone room. I set the Windmill in phantom and I made an invisible skeleton as physics (you can remove it if you do not need it).
- There is a ladder to access the first level, you will be able to climb it up and down (sit on poseball)
- I made a mesh straw bale for the fun, it cost 2 prims and it comes with the windmill.
// list of scripted and animated parts:
- wood doors with auto close
- rotating wind sails + dynamic shadow
- ladder animation to climb up and down
- smoking chimney
- rotating millstone
- rotating hex nuts mechanism
//list of sound designed parts:
- millstone rotation with grains cracking
- old wood door squeez and cracks
- Sails rusty rotation
- small rat squeez and eat grains
// Acknowledgments and legal
I would like to thank the Ecole SL community for their advises and the help they provided on this project.
I do not sell the textures I made for this 3D model, and I will not accept to make custom changes to suit your needs.

BEAUTIFUL!
It amazes me that this is free. It is beautifully textured and adds realism to a farm southern setting.
Awesome Mesh and texturing ☺
Great work as always.... This mill is magnificent.... Thank you
