Introducing the Caustic Light Projector! I can guarantee SL has never seen anything like this before. How do I know? Because of some fancypants new features in LSL that made this possible! With a fair bit of advanced scripting on top of that, this became a reality and i'm really excited to bring this neat thing to SL. I hope it improves your scenes with some vibin' wavy aesthetics!

This is a rezzable object that casts animated light textures on the ground, walls, ceiling, your home, your homies, even yourself! What ever you aim it at, becomes host to an awesome animated lightshow. It supports a high degree of customization, multiple points of projection, even multiple different animations! This specifically carries 2 loaded animations, both of them are different types of wavy "caustic" animations like you see on the bottoms of pools or spas, or on the walls of a cave that has water in it. Pretty gawgeous.

This video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l6QOcgWXfI) by CorridorDigital popped up today (07-14-22) and it explains why Caustics are so damn cool and so damn hard to produce in a video game. This system simulates it in a convincing way that you can actually use!

Greate caustics!
This works great for the water tunnles and wet areas of our RP sim.
Eactly the thing it needed.
Looks great but a few problems
I like the look of the 2 animation sets but I'm having some trouble. The "help" command and the readme are very scant on instructions, containing mostly the command tree that you must trial and error to figure out. I still can't figure out several things like how to have the projection on without ambient light (ambiance command doesn't seem to work) and also there's no listed way to change the "colorslide" mode on/off so the colors are constantly changing, even if you using the color command.
