hannefay Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Hi !I got strange question. Ive seen plenty of people making "one way" mesh items, so that you can see them from one side, but if you view them from another side theyre invisible, usually stuff like wall decorations use this to save on prims.I was wondering if theres any trees the same way? I'd like to cove up the hillside behind me because i find it to be an eyesore, but at the same time, i dont want to block my neighbors view of the waterside.

Qwalyphi Korpov Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I understand what you want. Trees are designed to be viewed from many directions. Except for particle trees which look the same from any direction. Making a tree look invisible from 'behind' and still a nice three dimensional tree from 'in front' may not be possible.

Aethelwine Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 You can use a screen wall with a tree texture on it on one side and invisible on the others. Something like this should work: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Forest-Privacy-Wall-full-perms/3638447 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hannefay Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 Thank you so much everyone for the replies =) Im not a big fan of the flat screen trees, they end up looking unattural, but maybe if i make some smaller trees infornt of it to kinda disguise the lower parts... deffinately worth a try.

Aethelwine Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 If you modify these to alpha masking mode, they can be quite effective as they aren't flat but they are thin and low prim and work well along the edge of a parcel. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/1-Prim-Privacy-Pine-Grouping/4191992 They are modify so you can add other textures to them, I have added a fern texture in the past and reshaped them and they work well together. Also I recommend checking out Tobias Novi's confiers sold in world. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Mycenae/102/91/32 Not on Marketplace https://marketplace.secondlife.com/de-DE/stores/15176 They come in clusters of 8 and 16, in a few different shapes and are only 2 prims each and resize easily. They look very good as background planting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
