AnacondaS AI Mesh Seagulls

This is a completely new and improved product and is a major improvement from my older sculpt version.

Over the past few years I have been creating artificial intelligence in second life. These seagulls have been a work in progress for over 3 years.

These gulls will choose to Fly, Walk, Peck, Swim, Stand, Float and even eat food all on there own. This works by reading your land environment they will live freely within it flying around Swimming or walking or doing what ever they want. rezz 4 or 5 of them in your land or as many as you feel comfortable with and they will always be doing different things. The birds can also blink and open there beak.

Setup is simple you only need to drag and drop them from your inventory onto your land.
These birds are purely designed for ground level they will not function in skybox situations high above the ground as they need to read the land, water and buildings to make there navigation decisions.

Prim counts
The seagulls are 7 prims each or 7 LI.
The Seagull Feeding Vendor is 1 prim or 1 LI.

Options

The options have been made to allow you the best setup control with easy usability.

Seagull Feeding Vendor:

This is a very user friendly food system that people can use to feed the seagulls. One of the very ingenious things about this is you do not need to have build enabled to allow people to feed the seagulls as the food is rezzed from the vendor giving the illusion that it is being rezzed from the users perspective.

I wanted this to be a very interesting enjoyable interactive experience watching how the seagulls eat and interact with the food and each other seems very realistic. Definitely worth a few lindens in exchange for the experience.

The seagulls do not need food to stay alive the feeding is purely for entertainment only.

Other features and things to know.

They have an automatic repositioning system so if they by chance become stuck in buildings or make a wrong decision at the parcel or sim corner they will automatically reposition them self’s back to the default rezzed location but this should be a rear occurrence.

There are only 2 scripts totaling 110kb per bird one for the main brain and decision maker and one for the prim animating. This makes for highly robust efficiently scripted resource friendly artificially intelligent birds.

As far as script time goes each bird will use between 0.005ms Min to 0.013ms Max witch is low considering what they do. Remember before checking script times make sure you give the seagulls about 2 minutes to settle down. Script times are always higher when first rezzed.

Physics time with 4 to 8 seagulls will use around 0.140ms witch is basically unnoticeable and will not have any impact on sim performance at all. So you will be able to have 8 rezzed with out causing any sim performance decrease at all. Don’t forget to come and pick up the seagull demo pack in my main store to test them out for a day before making the decision to buy you get 4 No copy birds and the HUD and the feeder to test for a day. See how they interact with your land and see how little resources they really use and most of all make sure you are happy with there performance and functionally.

Physics: The birds use physics this is perfectly fine when you keep the bird numbers to around 5 to 8 this will only use about %0.2 of the sims physics resources. There is talk that using physics is a bad thing this is a misconception in most cases using physics is perfectly fine when used correctly. Since the implementation of mesh creators have the ability to set most of the objects that make up physical creatures to use no physics calculations at all resulting in a lot more efficient use of physics resources.
