AZ Mesh Grass & Flowers

Version 2.0 now includes all new mesh & textures to improve LOD and display/render weight.

The AZ Grass and Flower design is my attempt to bring some of the subtlety of nature to the virtual world. This item does not include any glow, or full bright that other similar SL builds may include. The design has been carefully crafted to ensure the most optimal mesh/textures/scripts to hopefully keep the build as low lag as possible and still look lovely. This item is built to link into the AZ Complete Environment set, and respond to weather and seasons, but can also be used in any landscape.

I hope you enjoy this simple new design and that it adds to your beautiful landscape design.

+ INCLUDED IN THIS SET+ (builds are modify/copy, scripts are copy only)
AZ Grass Flower Set - (3 li) sample set of the grass and the flower mesh attached to 1 control box & ground mesh (0.5 li) 12.5 m x 9.5 m
- AZ Lrg Flat Flowers - (0.5 li ea) single mesh 1 material face 8.2 x 7.9 x 0.45
- AZ Lrg Flat Grass - (0.5 li ea) single mesh 1 material face 8.2 x 7.9 x 0.35

These mesh designs have been created to use the same set of textures in multiple ways to reduce display/render load for users.
These mesh designs include advanced materials where optimal.

+ INSTRUCTIONS +
Once you have rezzed the sample item, you simple click anywhere on the item for the following menu:

Season Controls - spring | summer | late summer | autumn | autumn blaze | late autumn | early winter | winter
Plants Control - Grass Flat | Flower Flat
Grass Flat Controls - Long Grass | Autm Grass | Green Grass | Win Grass | Yel Wht | Pink Blu | Pink Wht | Red Yel | INVISgrass
Flower Flat Controls - Wht Tall | Pink Tall | Yel Tall | Red Tall | Pnkblu Shrt | Pink Shrt | Yel Shrt | Red Shrt | INVISflwr
Admin Menu - owner | group | public

SEASONS - All AZ landscape items are affected by the eight seasons. The flower mesh is only visible in spring and summer. The grass mesh is not visible in the winter seasons. The ground prim included with the sample set has a different texture for all eight seasons.

PLANTS - Allows you to change the textures of both the flower & grass mesh individually with new flower colour options.

ADMIN - when rezzed menu access defaults to owner only, to allow members of a group to access the menu simply click and edit item and check that you have your required group set in the "build" window. Then click on controller choose group.
If you would like anyone to change the season textures simply click "public" in admin menu. Only the owner has access to the admin menu.

+ UNPACKING +
I would suggest opening the "build" menu prior to rezzing anything as this allows for easy initial placement. In the sample set the control box is lower than the other linked items to allow you to move the box into the ground, edit to suit your situation. If you do not wish to change seasons you can set your texture and unlink the control box to delete it.

EDITING - You can add more or less grass or flowers to one build by rezzing a "flowers" or "grass" mesh and simply linking it to the one control box. The only limits are SL restrictions for linksets no more than 256 items in one set and no further than 54m dia from the control box (root prim). After linking and choosing a season option from the menu the grass & mesh designs will change to a have no physics, allowing you walk through the grass.

Please note the controller box that I suggest you move under the ground, must always be the last item to be linked (root prim) as it is the parent that controls all the other items.

** Each control box works on it's own distinct channel, so you are not able to change all linksets in a region at one time as you can in the AZ Complete Environment Set.

All new mesh designs are:
*100% Original Mesh
*Materials enabled & included where optimal
*Modify / Copy / NO TRANSFER
*Optimised scripts

+ PLEASE NOTE +

PRIM / LI - when all items are linked together or to the controller prims li number will reduce due to prim accounting methods (setting physics in build menu for many linked items to none also reduces load)

RESIZING - mesh the results can be somewhat varied (very high counts can suddenly occur) so please use caution.

PHYSICS - where appropriate each build has a custom physics shape built in, therefore they should be kept as prim or none, not convex hull (under physics shape features in the build menu).

MATERIALS - are added in builds where they add value. If you do not like how they look or aren't able to turn the advanced materials settings on due to pc constraints then feel free to remove them from the texture tab in the build window "bumpiness" "shininess".

Enjoy the beauty of virtual nature.
