Italian Formal Pond and Summerhouse Version 1.0

Italian Formal Pond with Summerhouse

Sorry but I no longer have land to display this. If you are interested, IM me in world and we can rez it in a sandbox. I'll bring cookies.

This is loosely based on a place in England that I used to take my wife when we were courting. It closed several years ago but we have memories that were made there that will last our lifetimes. I made this replica for my land, and decided to share it after being asked to by a couple of visitors.

The flower fountain has two water modes (and off), there are four types of blossom for the strung vines and there is functional lighting. It looks wonderfully romantic by night too, sitting at the (included) chairs and table, watching the animated water and roaming fish (*not* included - buy your own fish*). The golden peacock railing is exquisite; I made it years ago and it's the first time I've decided to include it in something for sale. I've guarded it jealously until now.

Inside the summerhouse is a golden button; press it to turn the lighting on/off and long-press it to access the configuration menu.

Most of the construction is mesh (made by me, with strong LODs) along with some other parts and prims, because there is no benefit to making some things from mesh and using prims lowers the LI. The whole thing is one linkset, 57LI at the supplied size and with good physics and LOD.

Everything is mod perms too, and is easy to tint if you want to change the colour. Even the main control script is full perm so you can see how it works and reprogram it should you wish. Only the sitter scripts are no-mod/no-trans (they have to be) but the config NC for them can be modified.

Only what you see in the main advert pictures is included (and the posh round table and its chairs). The in-situ example is on my land and obviously you don't get all of that.

The pond is intended to sunk into the ground with the walking surface just above ground level (as it should be for a pathway). You could suspend it all higher though and build up around it, or even have steps up to it.

*Fish... I really don't want to recommend the ones I have because *reasons* (let's say I don't like to say bad things about other creators - 'nuff said.) But, if you happen to recognize them and want to use them in the pond, I can give you a much better animation&roaming script for them, fix the bad texture animation on one of them, and set them up perfectly for the pond. After all of that, they work quite nicely. Just give me a shout. One day I'll get around to making my own fish, lol.
