AZ Mesh Shrubs Version 2

Version 2.0 now includes all new mesh & textures to improve LOD and display/render weight, as well as inbuilt fairy lights and subtle leaf animation options.

The AZ Shrub design is optimised three plant mesh that can be used as visual boundary or merely decoration. Like all of the new landscape mesh designs It is also fully modifiable. 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.

+ 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
Lights - Shrub Warm | Shrub Cool | Shrub OFF | Auto ON | Auto OFF
Animate - Shrub | Strong Wind | STOP ALL
Admin Menu - owner | group | public

SEASONS - All AZ landscape items are affected by the eight seasons.

LIGHTS - Your set includes basic shrubs and shrubs with lights. You can mix and match the shrubs in your landscape as desired. Shrubs with lights will have a higher land impact and display weight, and can be identified in the build menu description "inc lights". The menu option allows you to have the lights be warm white or cool white and to turn the lighting off (sets the light face off). If you wish the lighting to turn on with the sun going down simple turn Auto ON. Please note to make the lights appear to twinkle turn the leaf animation on for the shrubs.

ANIMATE - The shrubs can have a subtle leaf animation turned on. Please note that animated textures will increase the display/render load of the item.

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 - Please note that the shrub mesh as three distinct texture areas for each plant in the set, so by varying the colour slightly on each you change the look of each group. You can add more or less shrubs to one build by rezzing more shrub 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 to the control box, simply choose season option and the physics of the shrubs will be set to none (this reduces load and will allow people to walk through more naturally). If you want the shrubs to act as a boundary, you will need to set the physics shape to prim in the build window.

Right click on linkset > build window > tick edit linked > click on mesh > features tab > Physics Shape Type > Prim.

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.
