I'm glad you liked my PrimArray tool

FYI Mathbuilder is just my old ShapeMaker tool being resold. If you would like a modern version with new features, pick up ShapeGen for L$100 on SLExchange.

Exactly where can I find the Primarray tool, I've looked all over.

On the smaller side of things, LoopRez is a free tool that you can (with proper knowledge of scripting or a willingness to read tutorials, there's something of a learning curve with the freebie) use to make pretty much anything in perfectly aligned circles. Commonly used for prim skirts, but I've also made hair, jewelry, circular displays. He has a deluxe version that's a lot more user friendly, but if you're working with skirts, I recommend Vint's Primskirt Builder (search "primskirtbuilder" one word in search) instead- the interface is just amazingly simple to use and idiot proof for the non scripter.

That said, if you're designing on the micro end of the scale (jewelry), you simply can't beat LinkRez. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat to save me the time of aligning 200prim necklaces by hand. http://www.rebirthed.com/guildsnapshots/NecklaceShoot_001.jpg - took me 2 days to design and torture my links, half an hour to write the linkrez program, and about 20 seconds to rez, link, and walk out of the sand box wearing it. Best 3000$L I've ever spent.

Land Laser - mark off property

09-09-2007 08:48

From: Vuron Beltran

I saw someone using a tool the other day while they were building in the sky. The tool created a border using glowing columns around their property so they new the exact dimensions and coordinates they could build.

Anybody know what this tool is called and how much it might be?

Could be Skidz Partz - Robotic Land Lazer 2.15

Hmm no mentions of any of the particles tools... what's the best Particles making tool available? I've looked at a few, but can't make up my mind.

Ideally I'd think you'd want that could generate the code, and also have on/off options either via clicking or chat commands...

For prim animations

If you're looking to make animated prims. I'd recommend Puppeteer - Prim Animation Kit

http://www.slexchange.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&file=item&ItemID=163930

it's free and very easy to use. Youtube video instructions and all that...
