SKYBOX : WINTER GLADE SKYBOX Version 1.2

The winter counterpart to the popular Forest Glade Skybox

The IJD WINTER GLADE SKYBOX  is a large walled platfrorm made out of MEGA PRIMS & SCULPTIES, with INVISIBLE SOLID PRIMS to allow you to walk or climb on all surfaces realistically.  An alpha textured snow covered forest wraps around a shallow snowy basin ringed by small hills with an ice lake in the middle.  Each skybox exactly fills a 4096 Sq. Meter area(64x64 meters).  When fully rezzed The IJD WINTER GLADE SKYBOX  boasts 34 prims of realistic detail, but if you delete the rock outcops and ice lake (you can always rez them again, or take into inventory), you can save up to 18 prims making this skybox only 16 prims total.  Sacrifice more detail by removing the shallow hills and their invisible prims and it becomes a 6 prim skybox. 

The following notes for "Forest Glade Skybox" apply to Winter Glade Skybox as well.

The outside edges of the skybox are alpha textured on the top half, but standard textured on the lower half of the forest backdrop to minimize issues with SL’s alpha texture bug. The forest backdrop is visible both on the inside and outside of the skybox so don't worry about ruining your neighbor's view, it is very picturesque.  Set up your home inside this intimate winter glade, set up a winter fun area, or simply hide from chaotic neighbors your own serene refuge, the possibilities are many.
 
TO SET UP  YOUR IJD WINTER GLADE SKYBOX  , place out the IJD WINTER GLADE SKYBOX  REZZER BASE

and position it on your parcel.  When you place out the Rezzer Base a blue Rez Faux HUD will appear giving you the option to REZ.  Press REZ once your base ( a 10 meter in diameter half sphere)  is where you want it.  Wait for the parts to come flooding out and form, could take up to 2 minutes depending on lag. You may now use the circular Rezzer Base to move the skybox, lower it, rotate, whatever you need to do.  After it rezzes the HUD will give you new options  DEREZ, SAVE, STORE.  Those options do the following
 
DEREZ: Deletes the IJD WINTER GLADE SKYBOX 
 
SAVE: Removes the positioning scripts so the base may no longer move the rest of the mountain or derez it.  ONLY DO THIS IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO DEREZ YOUR SKYBOX AGAIN, OR MOVE IT ANYMORE.
 
STORE: Same as SAVE, but also puts location coordinates in the description field of each object so you can return them to the stored position if you make an error and move a piece by accident.
 
IGNORE: (RECOMMENDED) Closes the HUD . . .  Touch the REZZER BASE to get the HUD back at any time.

AND
 
THESE INSTRUCTIONS
 
MODIFYING:  All parts are modifyable, but I recommend not trying to resize the Mega Prim portions of the skybox since they will revert to 10x10 size.  You may retexture, move parts around, but that's about it.
 
WINTER GLADE is a simple, elegant solution to terraforming your parcel, or creating a skybox with terrain features, and I have worked using Mega Prims to keep the prim count  low, while keeping the quality of your winter experience . . high.  Thank you for your interest in the IJD WINTER GLADE SKYBOX
