This off-sim landscape (a reproduction of Yosemite National Park in the USA) instantly makes your island part of a big 3D panoramic environment. The amount of detail of the sculpted terrain is very high. It includes off-sim boulders, trees and animated waterfalls.
Properties:
• Change the surface textures of all landscape parts, including the waterfalls (254 textures available in the HUD), and you can even use your own textures
• Change the off-sim trees to 18 predefined different types: winter pines, fir trees, deciduous trees (both summer and autumn), palm trees… New types of trees will automatically become available in the HUD
• Switch to a different landscape scene/season
• De-rez landscape sections (for instance if you want to leave out the trees or waterfalls) and rez them again later
• Allow others to change the scene and surface textures
• Copy-permissions
• Advanced menu to enable the unscripted sit and multiple sit function (see below under Mega Prims. WARNING: using this feature in some cases causes spikes of lag. Try a demo first to be sure
• Remove redundant scripts to decrease script load on sim
Other characteristics are:
• Its size is 1000x1000m. An island measures 256x256m, which means it covers your island and extends way beyond its limits. However, it cannot be seen from other islands that do not share one full border with your island. Islands that just touch at the corners are no problem to use this item.
• A script takes the landscape to the best position on your land. You can rotate and move it afterwards like any other object in SecondLife. Do not drop it too close to the edge, it may go off-world and end up in your Lost and Found folder!
• You can combine this landscape with other off-sim elements, like waves and rock structures.
• Matching terrain textures for your land are available in the in-world store.
To your viewer this landscape is a set of sculpted prims with textures. Technically there is not much difference from, for example, a detailed set of furniture. The textures do not contain an alpha channel (except for the off-sim trees) and are not animated (except for the waterfalls). There are no particle systems in this item. The surface and sculpt textures take some time to load, but after that they cause no lag and do not obstruct your movements.

Mega prims
This landscape item is made of mega prims. There are some known issues:

hud connection
connect the hud before you delete scripts ! or it will not connect
Worth every L$
Try the demos, play with them, test them, get used to living in the middle of them, then buy. :)
The results speak for themselves, but please take the time to read the instructions! :D
Everyone who's seen mine just says "Wow"
Pretty, but with limitation
The surround is beautiful, the HUD works nicely. However, because of the construction method and textures used this has the "alpha on alpha" bleed problem. I have other environmental elements in my sim which avoid this issue. Unfortunately, because of the alpha texture overlap, I cannot use this because the house, the primary reason for the sim, uses alpha textured windows. The forests between my house and the surround do not bleed over. The trees from the off-sim structures bleed into the house. In conclusion, plan ahead for how you intend to use this.
Good Product & High Price
A wonderful product, with a creator that has included a work-around to a common problem. It adds an incredible quality to any sim environment, and is fully adjustable to work with any environment, theme, or style.
My only qualm about this particular product is that it costs approximately $40US which seems very steep. Clearly I paid for it, and I'm happy with my purchase, but the price does seem excessive personally.
Primo- come see it
{SEARCH} TKA, Emerald County 157,120,25 or ask me for TP in. Everything/piece has changeable textures brightness etc. Use remove each part, Tres Chis, this is my 1st sim surround, glad I bought the gold version. I tweaked the glow down and brightness and it is copy as listed so I can delete scripts with lowest lag capacity. Awesome. :p
