Have you noticed that most incense or other burning objects in SL burn at the middle, i.e. the fire particles render in the middle of the object. It turns out this is "expected behavior" for how particles are set to work.
There is a workaround, however, and I am grateful to Silent Mole for teaching me this trick. You have to create a smaller, invisible prim that you fasten to the top of the incense stick in order to create the illusion of a burning tip.
You can pick up Silent's rainbow incense at the Elderglen Infohub to see how it works or IM me inworld.
This work contains free all-perm Splashable Water made by Jillian Calahan; GNU licensed pebble texture and also earth texture from the Linden Library and the open source Fire Particles Script - Altered created by Ama Omega in 2003. Unfortunately because of the way linked objects and permissions work, you may not be able to access all these items so IM me in world for a free copy of the components.
All proceeds go to the upkeep of the SL Public Land Preserve, some 100,000 square meters of open land for public recreational use on several dozen sims on the Mainland.
- Burning incense helps you to pray or meditate.
- A welcome addition to your home shrine or public sacred place.
- Burns at the tip not the middle in realistic manner.
- Tranquil waves of water and pebbles create peaceful feeling.
- Earth textures to blend with nature.
Works well
The incense bowl looks just like the picture, and the incense sticks burn at the tip. Good piece of decor.
