![Sim Surrounding Mountains LITE [4.2]](https://slm-assets.secondlife.com/assets/13595561/lightbox/Sim_Surrounding_Mountains_LITE.jpg?1457448723)
This sim surround landscape instantly makes your island part of a big 3D panoramic environment. The amount of detail of all sculpted terrains is high.
This is a LITE edition, which means it has no HUD to change the appearance. Most Light sim surrounds are also available with HUD to change the appearance (textures etc).
This item has the following characteristics:
• 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!
• 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.
• You can combine this landscape with other off-sim elements, like waves and rock structures.
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 and are not animated. 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:
• Unscripted sit and multi-sit do not work inside mega prims. Try with the demo to see if this is a problem for you. Read this for technical information: http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-3811
• The way your island is represented on the world map may change. Read this for technical information: http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-5898
- This highly detailed off-sim landscape offers your place a natural 3D panorama
- Surface textures are baked high resolution textures, giving a great 3D view
- This is a LITE version: cheap with less prims, but no HUD to customize textures
- Drop on ground level, it will move into place by itself. Lift to get more land
- Rez it on any single sim, island, full region, homestead or open space
So good I purchased it twice in 10 years
I first purchased this sim surround in 2012 to make a skybox and today I got a second copy because it has worked so well. This really is a great product that has aged very well. I highly recommend.
It should be noted that you CAN use this when you have two regions next to each other as one side is fully open. I have two regions each with their own copy of this background. All I needed to do was rotate one of them 180 degrees and they fit together perfectly, giving me mountains around two regions.
The advice given in the marketplace advertising about this not working with two regions is not correct. It will work with two regions. I think the creator underestimated just how well this product works.
Good Job!
I purchased this item on Marketplace so I could write this review...
An excellent product to help in creating the essence of living on an island off the coast of British Columbia Canada. Islands there are couched in a cradle created by the Olympic Mountains of Washington State and the Coast Range of mainland B.C., but are open to the Pacific Ocean on the western shores. To counter the sense of living on a lone island in the middle of the South Pacific, I needed a 3/4 surround of lush, high mountains, and this one from Landscapes Unlimited fills the need perfectly. Granted that the texture detail is not photo-realistic and that it uses older mega-prims rather than mesh, it nevertheless makes a superb background adding incredible 3 dimensionality to my home. It has a relatively low LI for a huge lot of landscape and the price will not break your Linden piggy bank.
Worthy of note is the excellent customer service provided by Sominel Edelman, owner of this shop and creator of its products. My questions and concerns were listened to carefully, and response was timely and polite.
Thank you Som.
