Connections to other packages:
The Edge Forest Caves Entry is part of the Mountain Prefabs system from K&H which can be used to build a mountain over your caves. Can also be used with other similar packages of your choosing.
An empty 1 prim Skybox is also included so you can build your caves in a skybox.
Example BUILD Skybox (UPDATE 10): 115 land impact. Footprint 60x60m
By default the luminosity is set to 100%. Depending on your windlight and atmosphere intended you may wanna lower it in the Texture > Color Tab. I personally find a value of 66 appropriate but feel free to experiment around.
LOVE THESE :D
I really love these caves and how they come in a variety of textures and configurations. And I love the shapes and how you have included the roots. It gives an ancient feel. I only wish in future updates you might include entrances/caves/tunnels with normal maps on both sides. I use these in all kinds of applications and combine them with different landscape items. Sometimes when installing I have to work to hide it when the normal maps can be seen through. I would also love to see a version of arches and other formations that are just roots. Great job Kirk! :D
Nicest tunnel kit!
I have a strange addiction to building caves and tunnels. This is by far the easiest to work with, and looks amazing! You have to look to find the seams, the textures blend so well! I'd like a few more shapes available, but don't let that be a deal breaker for you! I have made a massive tunnel system with these pieces! Now, to buy some more things from K&H!
