Tiny Rideable Bugs: Dragonfly & Butterflies
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Raglan%20Commons/48/77/22
Now released: more Bugs for Tinies to ride. A huge blue-black dragonfly with 9 meter wingspan, and two flapping and bobbing butterflies -- the traditional orange & black Monarch, and the beautiful blue Charaxes.
Boxes are out now in the Willow Creek Mill front window. Discounted 25L until I get them in to the vendor!
Overview:-----------------------
Rideable Bugs are mounts made just for Tinies, just like those big expensive big-person horses! Except these are bugs.... :X
The Bugs use "blink animation" for movement. (That is, various parts turn transparent or opaque to simulate different animation 'frames.') The legs scuttle as you walk or run.
The Dragonfly has rapidly beating wings, complete with sound. Click the bug to control the sound volume or to switch it on and of.
Butterflies have flapping wings, and they bob up and down when you are in flight. Click the butterfly to bring up a control menu.
Flapping: stops or re-starts flapping.
Bobbing: turns bobbing on or off.
Synch: puts the wings back in synch if they get messed up.
Tiny Rideable Bugs are No Transfer. If you wish to purchase one as a gift, you may do so through Shop OnRez.com:

The Butterflies are also No Mod, because changing the wings will mess up the animations.
The Dragonfly is Moddable.
Instructions:--------------------
1: Wear the Bug from you inventory.
It attaches to your pelvis by default. You may change this to stomach if you have something on your pelvis that you need. You may also try chest, spine, hips, pectorals or shoulders, but your results may vary.
2: Turn off your AO.
How you do this depends on your tiny model. Wynx's Extorvirutal Tinies just use "ao on" and "ao off" in open chat. The Tiny Inc Elephants use channel 63 ("/63 ao off"). Consult your tiny info or contact the creator if you cannot figure out how to turn yours off.
3: Go!
Walk, run, fly as normal. Your Bug will move and animate.
Remember to turn your AO back on when you stop riding your Bug.
Enjoy!
