A revolutionary new way to create ground! Create rolling hills, craters, valleys, mountains, canyons, and more! There's no limit to what you can do.
And unlike sculpties, you don't need any physics prims! The physics are included with the Terrain Kit pieces, and are 100% accurate to the ground. Just rez the pieces, put them near enough so they overlap, and you can walk over them. That's it! No invisible prims, floating in the air as you walk over the ground like with sculpties!
Pieces are UV mapped to minimized stretching. No longer do you have to settle for ground with sharp drops that have stretched textures.
This also lets you bypass the 4 texture per sim limit, as well as the height restrictions. This means that if you want a beach on top of a mountain on a lake, you can do it now! And it's not a flat prim, it'll actually have hills and rolling swoops and all sorts of great things.
Change the sizes of the hills by resizing the mesh ground up or down on the z-axis! You can make all of these pieces very hill or mountainous, or you can make them very flat and plain-like.

Be sure to come check it out in world.
When building with these pieces, make sure you overlap them. They are designed to overlap so the ground looks more natural and the physics engine requires it whether you're using Mesh or in world prims to prevent you from falling through the ground.
The Cave Entrance pieces are specially designed to fit with the FYI Mesh cave tunnel kits. The mesh cave tunnel kits are superior to work with and provide a much better building experience than the sculpty one.
Some of the pieces are higher land impact in this kit as some customers have requested higher detail pieces and land impact wasn't a concern for them. If you are buying this kit, understand that most of these pieces are lower prim, but there are a few that may reach as high as 20 land impact when at 64x64m.
Some of these pieces may also appear to be low poly and jagged. These pieces were designed to give the same polygon resolution as the default simulator ground. If you are unsatisified with the jaggedness of the pieces, you may shrink the pieces down and use more of them to give you higher resolution ground.
The pieces must be kept lower resolution like this as it's a requirement to have accurate physics. If pieces were higher poly, you would sink in the ground in some areas and float above the ground in others. These pieces contain 100% accurate physics that you can walk on with no problems. Because of this limitation, pieces may appear jagged. As mentioned before, if you are unsatisfied with how jagged these pieces are, you can shrink them down and use more of them. Land impact goes down the smaller pieces are, so it will not affect land impact as much and in some situations it may make it lower (but not all).

Disappointed
Very disappointed that I can't use this as hilly terrain to cover a cave. The edges are too sharp for hills. Mountain tops maybe but then the slopes are too flat for that. Non-transferable copy isn't too expensive and perhaps I'll use it for something else one day. Given the prim value, it's not a bad option to revert back to sculpted terrain with invisible prims so at least the shape is more natural (and I don't have to worry about holes).
ONE OF MY MOST USEFULL PURCHASES
I HAVE USED THIS MORE OVER THE YEARS THEN ANYTHING ELSE IN MY INVENTORY FOR BUILDING SIMS. A MUST HAVE FOR ANYONE WANTING EASY , FAST USABLE TERRAIN.
Pretty amazing, however
First off, I completely agree that this set is a must have essential for landowners! It does take a bit of creativity and thinking outside the box to get the pieces to fit together at times, but overall a very worthwhile product. As with any mesh, the land impact increases with size and complexity, some of the other reviewers don't seem to understand this. There are many pieces at 4-5 LI at their original size, several fall within 8-12 LI, and, yes, there are a few that are weightier at 20 LI or so. The biggest complaint that I personally have, and the one that has me leaving only 4 stars instead of 5, is that these pieces are one-sided. While the underside is still "solid" and can't be moved through, there is no way to texture it. There are numerous pieces designed as mountains and cave entrances, but you have to use additional pieces to create the cavern interior otherwise your "cave" is invisible from the inside.
Indespensible!
These have been my most use building tool hands down. Yes it takes some practice to line up edges and you sometimes need to try different pieces or think outside the box as to which one might work best. I've been able to match sections of terraformed mountains, used them for terrain caps for putting in subterranean features, and most recently created a sledding hill on a mainland sim for the holiday season. The land impact obviously changes depending on the size of the tile you need. They aren't unreasonable in their prim count given how good they look.
To the individuals whining they are all hills, if you need something close to flat just use a regular or sculpty prim items. Use these right and you can simulate the best terraforming that one can find on estate sims whether on the ground or up on a sky platform.
Yes and No....
At least some parts are set to a physics shape of "convex hull". With this setting it is not possible to enter some of the entrances and tunnel parts. It took a lot of time to get the trick, setting the physics shape type to prim makes it work.
Last but not least, i don't count more then 20 prims as "low prim".
Besides that: Nice work!.
Perfect.
This is exactly what I needed. Flea, you do excellent work. Excellent customer service too. Thanks muches!
