*Version 3.00 Released 3rd May 2024 - PBR Materials!*

[XORBtech] Animated 3D Swimming Pool is a fully customisable, animated swimming pool with 3D water!

~MAIN FEATURES~
---------------------------
-3D Water! This pool uses unique 3D animated mesh water which will move and displace as you interact with it.

-13 in-built animations supporting multiple avatars at once, from swimming to relaxing on the side (adjustable).

-NEW in V2.00 ~ Pool Cleaning system [Optional]. This adds an extra layer of realism by having the pool water collect leaves, twigs, bugs and other bits of debris over time, and it can be cleaned using the included pool net. You can check the current water quality and change how long it takes for the water quality to decrease. This system can easily be disabled if it's not for you!

-Fully customisable! - Dozens of HD texture sets are included so you can change the appearance to suit you. Each section of the pool can be re-textured individually. You can also add your own textures.

-Pool lights that can be toggled on & off, and changed to any colour.

~OTHER FEATURES~
-------------------------------
-NEW in V2.00 ~ Pool ladders are now included.
-NEW in V2.00 ~ A pool cover can be placed over the water. If Pool Cleaning is enabled, this will stop debris collecting in the water.
-NEW in V2.00 ~ A pool net stand, which anyone can take and use to clean the pool.
-Pool can be filled & drained of water.
-Volumetric lighting effects.
-Realistic water and sound effects which you can change the volume of.
-Includes an optional patio extension, so you can make the patio bigger while still using the same textures.
-Controlled with an easy-to-use dialog menu - no unnecessary HUDs!
-Full high-quality mesh, with custom LODs and physics shapes.
-Baked lighting textures, including normal and specular maps.
-Custom scripts - all are very efficient and low lag

*Permissions*
-------------------
Perms:
*Pool [Copy]**
*Patio Extension [Copy + Mod]

**Pool is No Modify because resizing or editing any part of the pool would break the animation system.

*To view the pool as seen in the pictures above, 'Advanced Lighting Model' needs to be enabled in your viewers Preferences > Graphics.

*If placing on land at ground level, terraforming rights will be required to lower the land inside of the pool area. Make sure the default SL ocean water is below the level of the pool water.

Even the pool requires cleaning, so this pool is the closest I have see to RL pools currently available in Second Life. A Huge 5 star from me.

Great functions! Some customization limits out of the box.

The pool in terms of function is fantastic. The creator did a tremendous job on it and I especially love the 3D water as well as the interactive options.

Out of the box the pool itself offers limited options for those of us wishing to match the colors and materials of our houses.

The creator offers you a menu, allowing you to input custom textures via UUID.
- You can edit the Pool Edge (use provided texture options, or provide a UUID for a texture as well as how many times it repeats.) You cannot make the pool edge transparent (in case you're making your own)
- You can edit the Pool Deck, same options as above as well as make it transparent).
- You can edit the Pool Tile, the same as above but you can't make it invisible.

- You cannot remove the AO/Shadow the creator baked in. Unfortunately the AO seems overdone/oversized and might not match your house.
- You cannot remove the Materials on the surfaces. As such the Pool Deck and the Pool Edge both will shine, gloss and reflect, which causes any custom texture you put in, to not match properly (in my case an Onsu home).

Large installations like this should especially be Moddable as it's near impossible to match the texture work on our houses this way. Perhaps provide a Moddable version in with the standard one provided in a separate folder with a warning or notice that resizing might break the animation system.

I ended up making a pool "shell" that goes over this pool and the only part visible is the water.

Edit: A big thank you to the creator who was able to help me out with a Moddable version! ♥♥

This is the best pool we've ever seen in SL! The 3D water is amazing, with the splashes and sounds, the swimming animations, the diving, everything! It is so awesome! We love it. Hoping we can get the big slide someday too. This is a must have for everyone! I will be sure to tell all our friends about it too! Ooh - Pool Party!!!! ;)

I am a little disappointed just because I thought the "decking" around the pool itself was mod. It is not, the "extension" which is just a block with the texture is mod. Also, I was hoping this did not take terraforming, it does, in order to use inground. I LOVE THIS POOL! I was very excited to use it, I just can't use it where I was hoping to but looking forward to using it at another property! GREAT JOB creator.. :)
