FAQ
-----------------------
Q: What is the difference between regular and Low LOD editions?
A: Regular edition includes LOD that can be viewed at a longer distance away at the cost of a higher land impact. The low LOD version is identical up close to the regular version, but degenerates at a shorter viewing distance. It is more suitable for use in smaller parcels, skyboxes, or indoor/mountainous terrain where long viewing distance would not be an issue.

Excellently done on multiple levels
At a glance it looks pretty darn good. You got the 29 LI version and the 14 LI "Low LOD" version. Both versions look like as you see in the product preview picture. Cam out at a distance and the 29 LI version does use a lower poly LOD but does so in a graceful fashion that still communicates "This is a rotunda" while the low LOD version sort of collapse into a puddle of polygons like many other structures in Second Life.
This allows you to choose between a prim conservative build or a build that maintains it's aesthetic value when viewed at range.
The script has multiple different texture sets it can cycle through. You can independently texture the rotunda, the pillars, and the tops of the pillars.
The texture zones are each a 1024 texture, there's an additional texture zone for the bottoms of the pillars, the stone platform, and the decorative holes above each pillar.
Textures do have materials. The script that cycles them has a self-delete option that removes the script so when you got the structure set up the way you like it you can make it stop responding to clicks and save your self some server resources. If only more structures and plants with texture selection scripts did this.
The only real complaint I could muster on this is a rather minor fiddly one: The specular shine is baked into the metallic diffuse. (Yes they still have a materials driven specular shine that looks nicely metallic.)
Either way top marks and worth the money.
Fantastic rotunda
Everything you could ask for in a rotunda.
Amazing Work!
everything from Isil is always fantastic 5 stars!
