With SL getting full of junk that you don't want to see next to your house or place of business Privacy walls & Skyboxes are getting more popular then ever. The only problem is they are a pain to put up! They take up many prims, are difficult to get nice/centered/clean textures on, not to mention getting them built with in your lands boundaries ( especially if your building in the sky!).
Well the Privacy Wall / Skybox Tractor has solved these problems for you, plus made it fun in the process!
What it does:
Simply right click the Privacy Wall / Skybox Tractor and click the "Build", the Privacy Wall / Skybox Tractor will ask you your preferences on how you want to build. On the ground ( if on the ground if you want a base to level your land or not) or how high in the sky. Next it will ask how tall do you want your walls 10 meters or 20 meters. Finally it will ask what texture you want Beach, Grass Plains, Grass Mountains, or Snow!
Once that information is gathered sit back and enjoy the ride! The tractor will detect your land size and measurements it will then find the exact center of your land and rez the perfect Privacy Walls or Skybox platform! Once done it will give you a Tractor for display purposes ( if you want if not just delete it ), it will also give you a Remote Control ( We'll Cover this in a minute ), and a URL to download Photoshop PSD templates the Privacy Walls or Skybox. You'll be able to make perfect fit textures for your Walls!
Remote Control:
The Remote Control can change the textures of your Privacy Walls / Skybox! So if you get bored with the look of it, pull out the Remote Control and change the look to one of the other settings ( Beach, Grassy, Grassy Mountain, or Snow)! Plus in the Remote Control is a Settings Notecard. In that you can list the UUID's of any new textures (with the PSD templates that you Downloaded) that you've made. Your new textures will show up in the Remote Controls Menu's. The Remote Control will then be able to Switch your Privacy Walls / Skybox to the textures that you've made in addition to the textures that come standard. See the Remote Controls Settings Notecard for information on how to enter your textures UUID's.
The How's:
The Privacy Wall / Skybox Tractor uses mega prims to save your lands prim allowance and keep everything looking uniform! Now Because of LL's position regarding Mega Prims there as been many checks put in to the Privacy Wall / Skybox Tractor. It checks the lot size & measurements if your land is a standard size & shape it will rez a setup that is the perfect fit for your land! If you land is an odd shape it will take the measurements and rez the biggest size Privacy Wall / Skybox that your land can support with out any hang over's on to your neighbors land! The largest single prim size that is used is a 32 x 32 x 20 prim. LL has only stated that it may take action against the 256 sqm and larger mega prims. The 32x32 sqm prims are used all over SL, and when used properly cause no issues for your neighbors or LL.
The sizes of the Privacy Wall / Skybox & number of prims used for each lot:
512 sqm's 2 Prims ( Without base ) or 3 Prims ( With Base )
1024 sqm's 1 Prims ( Without base ) or 2 Prims ( With Base )
1536 sqm's 2 Prims ( Without base ) or 4 Prims ( With Base )
2048 sqm's 2 Prims ( Without base ) or 4 Prims ( With Base )
2560 sqm's 4 Prims ( Without base ) or 7 Prims ( With Base )
3072 sqm's 4 Prims ( Without base ) or 8 Prims ( With Base )
4096 sqm's 4 Prims ( Without base ) or 8 Prims ( With Base )
Now that's not to say that it can't build on lot sizes that are different sizes. It will simply rez the largest Privacy Wall / Skybox Tractor possible, factoring in your land's measurements & Size.
The Privacy Wall / Skybox Tractor will be able to determine your land size and measurements even if you own the land next to it that is a separate parcel! Simply make sure the name of the 2 parcels of land is different as it checks the landowners and parcel names to determine the measurements of the land it's on.
Incase your wondering "Cool idea but what's with the tractor?", well that's where the fun comes in. Instead of making some boring controller box, I decided to add some fun to it. So I built a tractor that you get to ride around on ( or fly up ) while your Privacy Wall / Skybox is being setup! And it is a blast!
Check out the pics to see the process of building a Privacy Wall / Skybox. I've also setup a demo area where your invited to come out and give it a try. You'll be able to ride the tractors and setup a few variations of Privacy Wall / Skybox's. The SURL of the demo area is: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Ink%20Cap/16/40/46
This is a has copy permissions! The one you build with dies after it's done, but the original should never leave your inventory! That way you can build as many Privacy Wall / Skybox's as you want! Now that's a great deal!
