Lacking.. Alot.
Lets get the good out of the way, not bad water texture, and i like the scripts.
Ok, now the rest.
The 'Tutorial' is wrong. It misses important parts right from the start. Examples:
Step 1 - your base prim needs to be hollow or you cant see the water.
Step 2 - 'Rims just touching' does not re-create the picture here ^ .
Step 3 - 'forward' is not a good direction, forward of the piece or forward from you? Where are you standing again? Where did we start? North West East South etc would have been better.
Step 3 - Rotating a circle? Why? Does this matter? wait.. are we doing a circle now?
Step 3 - Looks like a flower? Err... that's a weird plant.
And it continues. It doesn't contain a picture like the one shown here so you have no idea what its supposed to look like. You get lost wondering what is supposed to go where 'till the top' isn't good enough for a beginner, who would normally buy a Tutorial product.
Luckily enough for me, I've been building for 3 years and have an established knowledge on prims and how they work, so i re-created it from scratch no tutorial just using the picture from the marketplace.
I strongly suggest you update the tutorial with easy guide pictures if you don't want new builders swarming your inbox, its not fun (Been there, Done that).
Altogether i give it 2 stars, the scripts are good and the creator doesn't do TOO badly on the tutorial, its just lacking. Strongly suggest you don't take this on if you have no knowledge on prims and building. Must be at least 'Moderate' Skilled to understand what the hell is going on, and to fill in the gaps where they appear.
This was my second Tutorial from Lyrah Shepherd, and I found it to be a gret learning aid. The resulting fountain is beautiful, and I am using the techniques I learned here to create my own unique fountain.
Lyrah's tutorials I find to be thorough and clear...a great combination.
And at L$ 199, it is a true bargain!
