This off-sim landscape is made of high quality sculpted mega prims with state of the art baked textures. It has a couple of properties that make them better than others:

INNOVATIONS
----------------
- All surface textures have normal maps. These normal maps dramatically increase the details seen on the landscape surface, especially when your sun has a low altitude (i.e. sunrise, sunset). NOTE: normal maps can only be seen when Advanced Lighting is enabled!
- With the HUD you can change seasons. All four seasons can be chosen!
- All tree textures have normal maps as well, which makes them appear to have a 3D shape, like real trees do. Even when being lit from behind the trees appear to have a realistic shape
- This landscape has waterfalls. These are animated in such a way that lag is as low as possible, using frames instead of smooth animation. The waterfall textures also have normal maps, which makes the water appear as 3D
- The trees further away from the sim are "billboards", which means they only have one side exactly facing the sim. By using this technique, one single mega prim can have as many as 42 trees. Trees closer to the sim have four sides so they look better when you move around on your sim or cam around
- Normally mega prim landscapes blank out the world map. All version 6 landscapes do NOT do that anymore. Your sim terrain will always stay visible on the world map!

OTHER PROPERTIES
----------------------
- You can remove all unnecessary scripts after deploy or reset them in case of problems (Advanced Menu, brought up by touching the landscape for 5 seconds)
- This landscape does not obstruct any kind of sit animations
- It is copyable: keep a copy in your inventory and you can't lose it (but also can't give it back for a refund... get the demo first!)
- Matching terrain textures for all seasons are included
- A version with and one without trees are included. Don't want the trees? Use the [NO TREES] version, it will save land impact
- Besides switching between seasons, the HUD lets you change other landscape properties as well, like glow, brightness, tree type etc.

LAND IMPACT
---------------
Full version: 164
NO TREES version: 96

WHERE TO USE IT
--------------------
- You can use this surround on any island that does not share a full side with another region. It is not a problem if your region touches other regions at the corners
- This landscape is meant for use at sim ground level: it is not particularly suitable for use in the sky
- It is perfect for both homesteads and full sims

IMPORTANT
-------------
Before using this landscape, set your DRAW DISTANCE to at least 250m and disable LIMIT SELECT DISTANCE in the Advanced menu of your viewer.

The sim surround does block your sim, and the creator knows about it, but hasnt changed his add nor offered compensation - Quote: I'm sorry this happened, Kitty! I'm quite sure something has changed in the way LL makes their maps, they used to remain invisible but they don't anymore. I've had more reports about that recently... end quote. Be aware the sim surround does look great but it will do like every other surround, block ure sim in world view.
