Hello and thanks for taking interest in an Ancient Designs product!

Ever had regrets that SL water cannot be used at a skybox? Tired of using various laggy, prim-heavy workarounds to simulate large areas of water on your skybox?

Look no further! This is a simple, efficient and good looking sea for all your skybox needs.

It uses a combination of two huge 2048x2048 meter megaprims and a high-quality texture that is animated to provide an effect of slowly rolling waves.

The combination of these 2 factors creates an eye-pleasing sea illusion. I can speak form experience - this really works well in as a skybox. Numerous times I teleported other avatars to my sea skybox and they all at first thought they are at ground level with the SL water around them. Even avatars with large draw distance will not see the edges of the "sea" from the center.

The script used is a low-lag no nonsese one, so it will not have any visible impacts on the performance of the sim. The item is sold as mod&copy, although please always keep a backup copy in your inventory - as with all megaprims resizng the megaprimprim will bring it down to 64x64 size. Disclaimer: seagulls, the mesh rock island and Ais_Aeon that are visible on the sceenshots are not included in the purchase. This includes just the Skybox Sea itself.

Note on parcel use: Even if you own a small parcel, you can simply place the Skybox Sea prim so that its center is within your parcel. This will cause no issues for your neighbours, as long as they do not have a skybox at the same height as you do.

Enjoy!
