Automatic set up. No configuration. When you rez the sundial it starts to display the SIM time of your current region. You can menu-select between SIM time or SL time by touching the sundial.
As you know, it's the sundial's shadow that gives the time. Shadows slowly move from 6 am to 6 pm. It's accurate and it works. If you don't see a shadow, then it's probably night-time. Regular sundials display the shadow on the disc face.
When the sundial is first rezzed, it auto-rotates to point North. This provides a realistic relationship between the sun and the shadow of the dial. You can, of course, change the rotation yourself, but it will compromise the realistic nature of the dial.
The sundial can be stretched (or reduced) to any size.
- Accurate display of current SIM time or SL time.
- SIM or SL mode is menu selectable.
- Sundial shadow movements every half-hour.
- Synchronizes to region's SIM Day-Cycle, or SL time.
- Modifiable - can be stretched to any size.
Attractive but didn't tell the time
A highly attractive sundial, which is great as a decoration. However, I couldn't get it to produce the shadow to tell the time. The creator didn't respond when I asked for advice.
Magnificent sundial
Object built according to the criteria of the old school, ars technica, true textures and appropriate forms.
The low lag scripts allow an accurate carry-over of the solar movement with a well reproduced gnomon shadow on the dial. It is possible to choose between the "SL Time" (regular time of 24 hours on Pacific Time) and "SIM Time", the daylight of SL (days are 3 hours long, and nights are 1 hour long, so there are 6 full cycles in 24 hours).
I recommend the use of "SIM Time" as it is consistent with the position of the sun and the shadows in the Sim of residence.
Very simple in rezzing thanks to its automatic positioning and priced very honestly.
