Eclectica- Wintery Days Gothic Umbrella

Thankyou for your interest

This item is copy and mod friendly. It is original mesh, unique to Eclectica, made with love by Tiffy Vella, who adores old vintagey stuff, 3D modeling and texturing.

Please always edit a copy of your item. Keep a master version in your inventory. Please know that there is a redelivery terminal in the Eclectica Mainstore foyer.

This is an elegant Gothic styled umbrella, with nicely curving lines. It will keep the harsh sun from your delicate skin, as well as render you far more interesting whilst walking in wet and gloomy weather. It frames the face beautifully, can add a splash of colour to an otherwise monochromatic scene, and even assists with nasty alpha clashing issues between hair and foliage.

This pack includes an object called "Wintery Days Gothic Umbrella" and another called"Eclectica- Wintery Days Gothic Umbrella AO". They are designed to be worn together. Select " Add" to do so without detaching anything else.

The umbrella attaches to your right hand, and you can adjust the size, position and rotation using the edit menu if you need to. The umbrella can also be resized via the script, if you find that more convenient.

If you touch the umbrella, you will access the texturechanging menu via dialog box on your screen. You can opt to change the outer colour to black or ivory, the inner colour to black, red, violet, turquoise, green, plain ivory, or three patterned ivory variations, and the hardware textures to pale gold, dark gold, copper or black. Every surface is manually tintable, so you have a lot of control over the look.

There is a little glow added to the inner surface. Tinker with this if you like!

The texturechanging script is deletable. Do not delete it from your master copy, however.

The AO attaches to the bottom right of your HUD, and yes, you can reattach it elsewhere or move it on your screen if needed. It is intended to be worn with your full AO, as it controls the positioning of your umbrella arm while you are walking, standing,running etc. It also contains flying and hovering animations for if you need to take to the skies. (Please note: I have used animations with the highest priorities available, and tested with my own collection of AOs, but cannot guarantee that it will work perfectly with every AO on the market, which is normal. If your AO overrides the priorities of the umbrella, you may have to tweak which poses you use, or sometimes turning the umbrella off and on will sort things. I cannot control how the umbrella interacts with every animation out there, but had success with the vast majority of mine.)

The AO used is a familiar-to-many Zhao 2.2, and is fully modifiable. This means that you can add more animations if you prefer, as well as mod the notecard or add further notecards. It is simple to use. From right to left, there is an on/off power button, then an on/off button for sits, then a settings button to bring up the main menu where you can control stand times, which walk position you prefer, etc.

If you need assistance, please contact me (Tiffy Vella) via IM, as I may be able to help you even when not inworld. I do not mind questions, and would rather the opportunity to help if there is any issue.

All the best, and please enjoy using my designs to make your sl environment a little more immersive and expressive. :)
