This skybox environment (a reproduction of Yosemite National Park in the USA) instantly makes your island part of a 3D panoramic environment. The amount of detail of the sculpted terrain is very high. It includes off-sim boulders, trees and animated waterfalls.
In 2012 we released the first of a new generation of sim land level and skybox items. This item is part of this new set. There are three versions available:
GOLD:
• 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
• Advanced menu can also be used to rez a solid prim just below the landscape surface. Touch this prim to make it invisible.
• Remove redundant scripts to decrease script load on sim
SILVER:
• 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 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
• Advanced menu to rez a solid prim just below the landscape surface. Touch this prim to make it invisible.
• Transfer-permissions
BRONZE:
• One beautiful environment (either Winter or Summer scene) available to you for a lower price
• Menu to rez solid prim just below the landscape surface. Touch this prim to make it invisible.
• Transfer-permissions

Other characteristics are:
• Its size is 250x250m. An island measures 256x256m, which means it about covers your island and goes outside its limits if you place it close to the sim borders. If you are on an island, 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 landscape 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 is one known issue that applies to skybox environments:
• Unscripted sit and multi-sit do not work inside mega prims. This edition offers an option to prevent this. 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
• If you place this environment below 500m, then the way your island is represented on the world map will change. Read this for technical information: http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-5898

Love this
Just wanted better physics floor but overall fantastic :) Please keep making these {{Huggles}}
Overall good but some low quality issues
First thing you should know when buying this is that the ground is not solid. Easily worked around by using an alpha'd prim. However, the water texture is a bit more low quality than I was anticipating based on the advertised picture. The mountains look great though, and it's refreshing compared to box-wall texture enclosed spaces.
Beautiful
As always, Som has put out a beautiful, easy to use product.
best thing ever!!
amazing product! so easy to use, so beautiful!
Amazing view
Like my review for the Large skybox, I would like to say, for making a smaller, more isolated skybox community, this box would be perfect. Instead of 16 homes on the large box, this one is more suited to 4-6 homes, depending on how they are laid out. But the ability to make a smaller community is definitely worth it, to some looking for a more quiet community.
Holy detail batman
Don't settle for the lower packages get gold :) this place is absolutely stunning and you can change it to match your seasons through the year if you like. the price is incredibly modest for what you get, prim usage is pretty damned good for it's size and detail. Mesh cannot compare to good sculpts when it comes to mountains, don't waste 5k on a 300 prim mountain set with zero detail, get this now, it has more love and detail in it, better use of money.
10/10 bravo
