Pixelancer ~ Tentacle v5 Version 05292020

Please note:
the Bonus Texture Applier Script included in this package contains textures that match the Ichor and Ooze products: algae, oil, dark, lava, and pink. You may view them in the DEMO.

Thanks for your patronage!

This is an unusual project for me, but I felt we needed more tentacles in SL.

These are two sets of tentacles resembling some kind of slippery, decaying appendages.
Due to their nature, if you intend to create textures with clean lines, and precise edges, these are NOT the tentacles for you.
Go in peace.

These have an animated pulse.
Their topology is intentionally sloppy and irregular.
Each tentacle is unique, even though they all use the same texture.

This is a builder's kit for personal use, but please note the maps and animator scripts included have full permissions.
Read carefully the terms and conditions within this listing to understand your legal rights and obligations under the user license. (They're not too painful. Don't worry.)

***
First, please view the DEMO. It is available for free here at the SL Marketplace. You will be able to see all the mesh models, all the textures included in this set, test the almost non-existent physics, and get an idea of the level of detail at distance.
The DEMO is divided into two sets: A & B for static and pulsing tentacles.

There is no excuse for not knowing what you are purchasing.

***
Second, note the contents and permissions of this set.
The mesh components in this set have the following permissions:

Copy
Modify
No Transfer

* The package includes:
37 linked mesh tentacle variations with 1 face and connector pieces (A)
30 linked mesh tentacle variations with 8 faces for the pulsing animation (B)
6 scripts (& instructions) for 3 speeds and two directions of pulsing animation for the B versions.
1 Normal Map
1 Specular Map
1 Shadow Map
1 Greyscale Texture Map
1 UV Map

***
Third, all tentacles are 1Li or less at the default 1.67m size.
Enlarging mesh will change its land impact, but I think you will find these versatile. These can get very large, with low impact.

All tentacles all use the SAME 512x512 UV Map.
I cut the UV Map prior to decimation. You will have the shadow maps and texture to guide you, which you will find more helpful than the UV. You do not have to create dozens of textures; the same single texture can be applied to ALL models.
There WILL be variations between the tentacle mesh. What does this mean? Your texture will be distorted on some models. Review the DEMO closely.

The smooth Normal and Specular maps are already applied on the models. You will see this in the DEMO.

***
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me via notecard.

If you are interested in a full perm version of this kit, review the DEMO. I do not normally sell full perm sets.
The DEMO has instructions in a notecard describing how to contact me and the terms and conditions for using a full perm version.

And, now, your TERMS OF USE:
If you are going to use the components of this package with your own avatar, you do not need to read any further.

If you are going to sell or redistribute my products, these are the restrictions:

Term 1)
You may NOT sell or give away any component of this package together or separately, with the exception described in Term 3.
This means:
~ you may not use my items to create your own builder's kit under any condition.
~ you may not sell any of the UV maps, shadow maps, texture maps, or any other materials.
~ you may not give or sell the individual mesh pieces, even if they are re-textured.. They are being sold to you without transfer permissions in this set. This, of course, means you are not permitted to transfer them.

Term 2)
You MAY create unique texture maps for my mesh models and sell these new maps, individually or with an applier script for those who have also purchased this package.
I included the maps to assist you in creating your own, unique creations. Colorizing my greyscale map does NOT constitute sufficient change to call it your own texture.

Term 3)
You MAY share the textures and UV maps included in this kit, thus extending the user license to one other avatar without making another purchase, provided the following conditions are met:

You must:
~ confirm this avatar has a legitimate reason for access to my products with full perms. (Alt or business partner, for example)
~ ensure the owner of this avatar understands Terms 1, 2 apply to all shared components of my product.

Have fun!
