Copyable particle emitter ; each 1-prim emitter covers up to about 20X20 meters,
with a HUD to control all emitters in region.
Emitters can also be locked to ignore the HUD, and additional menu control provides HUD-independent setting.

When placed at ground level, snow falls from about 12-15 meters above. Rez multiple copies to cover your land or to make advanced effects by mixing various snow types in a scene. The coolest effects come from mixing different snow effects. Prims are mod, but the script inside is not.

You can drop up to 4 textures of your own into the emitter ball and then switch between them, in addition to various included textures.

HUD Features (owner-only):
Color selector to tint flakes (HSV style).
Sliders for: Flake size, fall speed, amount of flakes, area covered, and alpha (transparency of flakes).
Several buttons for selecting flake textures, plus buttons for 4 custom textures of your own.
Switches for: On/Off, Show/Hide ball, and Bright on/off (you should probably leave Bright on).

MENUS: Menu only affects the one touched ball and is an owner-only menu.
Flake Type, and More Flakes: Dots, Snowflake, and various other choices.
Flake Color: color settings to tint the snow. Additional colors are available by editing the emitter object color and picking "PRIMCOLOR".
Flake Size: 6 sizes
Snow Amount: 5 amounts (note: limited by client settings and environment)
Fall Speed: 5 settings
Area Covered: 4 settings (very large areas require multiple machines, just as with other 1-prim products)
On/Off button
Reset button
Hide/Show (ball invisibility) button
DELETE: Can be used to delete all machines in region, or to just list their positions. Will ask for confirmation first.
HUD Ignore / Enable : lets you lock this machine's settings (so it ignores the HUD, but will still respond to menu).

There is a demo rezzed in world to show what the snow looks like (click the demo ball for menu), but the demo does not show the HUD. The HUD is shown in one of the pictures above.
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Annapurna/109/221/777/ . It may take a couple minutes to rez my terrace and the snow.

Textures include dots, snowflakes, pentagrams, kitty paws, skulls, mudflap girls, stars, twinkles, or your own custom texture. "Multi" textures make dense snow with proper settings.

There are textures with different resolutions: high-resolutions will look better but will be tougher on your graphics card when you are generating many of them (depends on client & snowmaker settings). If you experience rendering lag, try lighter textures or density.

Free automatic update system. I support my items.

XOPH's Deliuxe Snowmaker was *the* attraction during out Xmas Tree Lighting ceremony at Etopia. Everyone praised the realism of the snowflakes falling, and it looks great both amidst the snowfall area and from a distance, especially with midnight setting, and some lights shining on the scene. For this amazing price it is an amazing product, worth every dime. And what's best: the maker really cares, and responds to questions. Keep up the good work, Xoph !

Works beautifully. Simple to set up, easy to adjust, and a variety of settings to give you all the options you need for falling snow. The fact that it is copyable and low-lag, together with the well-designed menu system, raises this product way above the competition. And as for cost, it's a bargain. I love it!
