[INDO] Mesh Pile (Leaf Version) 1 LI Full Perm

A very simple little pile of anything you want. The mesh consists of dozens of single square planes arranged over a rounded center to create the look of a pile. There are 8 faces total (the center piece plus 7 sets of planes, randomly distributed, in different amounts). You can texture all the overlying planes the same, as I did in the example, or use the faces to create variety in your pile.

To texture the center mound you will need to be able to use the edit menu to "select face/texture" and add the texture just to that face by finding a portion of it showing through the overlaying faces (a bit tricky). It may help to texture the entire object with the mound texture, and then retexture the planes with your alpha textures.

Also, please note that some of the planes float above the surface of the mound a good distance as seen in the photo. This is necessary to avoid texture clashing/flashing. If it will bother you in the finished product, please don't purchase this mesh.

Included are two textures, one for the pile (which needs to be a solid texture to avoid alpha conflict issues) and an alpha leaf "oak leaf" version for applying to the planes.

The mesh is one land impact at it's current size (just under 2 meters square), and uses custom LODs to ensure it still reads as a "pile" from a great distance. You can rez the mesh twice and spin it on the z axis to increase the density of the piles appearance (for two LI). You can also stretch it considerably larger if desired (but this will increase land impact. For example the item is 3 LI at just under 5 meters squared)

1 Piece of mesh, 8 faces, requires two textures but can use up to 8. Two textures are included (white oak leaves) to illustrate how to create textures for this mesh.
