Venus Skydome (boxed)
Thanks for your interest in my products!
This is a fully functional skydome, created and textured to represent the surface of the planet Venus.
Venus is the second planet from the sun, with a size and gravity similar to Earth. However unlike Earth, Venus features scorching temperatures, intense atmospheric pressure and with an atmosphere that's 96% carbon dioxide.
The skydome is provided as a default 64x64m circular skybox, but you can easily resize it since its provided as mod©. The default version has a land impact of 8, though you can bring it down to 4 by removing the sculpted rocks or increase it by adding more of the copyable sculpted rocks that come with the purchase.
This skydome is fully functional as it is, but for best visual experience, it is suggested to use the following sky presets:
1) If you are using Firestorm viewer, best use the "[TOR] Dusk - Siennarel" sky preset.
2) If you are using other viewers that do not have the "[TOR] Dusk - Siennarel" sky preset, then the regular SL "sunset" preset will also work nicely.
Upon purchase you get the skybox, with the skydome as well as the sculpted rocks seen in the screenshots. You receive a separate version with an opaque skydome and a semi-transparent skydome.
Store owner and the space suit are not included ;)
Enjoy!
Excellent planet skybox, great textures
I was a little nervous getting this skybox despite the low price because I couldn't see there was a demo inworld. I dithered over which one to pick and picked "Venus" finally figuring that was most appropriate for a skybox. It rezzes out at 64 x 64 so I had to take it to a sandbox to shrink it. It was a little tricky to shrink as it is not linked, but basically if you either plug in the numbers or just follow the ratio of the pieces it will shrink fine, I have it over a very tiny lot at 10 x 10 x 12 even and it looks great. The ground texture is even better inworld than in these pictures, which is rare, and I don't even have any special lighting turned on. I think drawn textures always do better than photo real inworld. The sky is very creamy and good looking and seams don't show. All in all, a great planet!
