AZ Window Box

The AZ Window Box was created for my new Mesh Cabin range. I love the look of flowers and butterflies at my window both inworld and elsewhere, so I set to designing. As with many new creations, I found myself adding more textures, more options and then butterflies and this is the end result. I hope you find a place to add some whimsical colour and life to your virtual home.

+ INCLUDED IN THIS SET+ (builds are modify/copy, scripts are copy only)
AZ Window Box - (1li) the build consists of 100% original mesh window box with flowers (inc 12 flower/plant, 4 box & support, seasonal textures)
AZ Window Box with Butterflies- (2li) the build consists of 100% original mesh window box with flowers and two butterfly mesh loops (turn butterflies on/off or set to auto they will fly during the day but not when inworld sun is down)

+ INSTRUCTIONS+
TEXTURE & DESIGN MENU - click and hold for 2 seconds anywhere on the Window Box to access menu:

main = mainplant | plant2 | plant3 | window box | options | admin
mainplant = pansies| periwinkle | tropical | violets | leafA | leafB | leafC | leafD | leafE | rose | geranium | jasmine
plant2 = rose 2 | geranium 2 | jasmine 2 | pansies 2 | periwinkle 2 | tropical 2 | violets 2 | leafA 2 | leafB 2 | leafC 2 | leafD 2 | leafE 2 |
plant3 = rose 3 | geranium 3 | jasmine 3 | pansies 3 | periwinkle 3 | tropical 3 | violets 3 | leafA 3 | leafB 3 | leafC 3 | leafD 3 | leafE 3 |
window box = oldpaintBOX | woodBOX | whiteBOX | metalBOX | iron | silver | rusted | painted
options = butterflyON | butterflyOFF | butterflyAUTO | autumn | early snow | heavy snow | dirt only | empty box
admin = owner | group | public
(when rezzed menu defaults to owner only)

*choose "dirt only" to add other flower or plants you would like to window box and "empty box" to add or create whatever look.

TINTING
The window box mesh has 7 separate faces that can be tinted to personalise the look. Each butterfly loop has one face. Right click anywhere on the the window box and choose edit then in the build menu box choose "select face" you can click on the part of the design you wish to colour. You will see that several of the textures (flowers / butterflies / box) are black and white this allows you to easily colour them however you please to suit your design requirements.

+ UNPACKING +
I would suggest opening the "build" menu prior to rezzing anything as this allows for easy initial placement.
Note that all scripts within this build default to "owner only" permissions, therefore you will need to change them to "public" or "group" for others to use.

Each window box build includes a script (one for window box and one that includes butterflies). If you wish to reduce your land impact and script impact you can link all your window boxes together with the "root" prim (the window box that all others are linked to) holding the script. You can remove the script from all the "child" window boxes. This reduces the script load and can reduce the overall land impact of the group. You can mix butterfly and basic window boxes as long as you use the script that states AZ Window Box Control w Butterfly. Please note that this grouping method means that when you use the menu to change flowers or box look it will affect all window boxes in the group.

+ PLEASE NOTE +
- PRIM or 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 so please use caution.

- PHYSICS Where appropriate each item in the 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).

- PATHFINDING attributes should also be easily set. Rez then Build > Pathfinding > rebake region (for anyone that owns pathfinding animals or scripts). Please note if you want the doors to still function unlink them from the house before rebake the region. Pathfinding items cannot move so the doors should not be included as a object in this process.

May these flowers and butterflies make you smile once in awhile.
