hiding prims, water, and more makes building easier

i hide the water in OpenSim regularly for terraforming, building docks, and placing water plants

you can also hide and show various other things like Linden plants, prims, and particles

so rather than trying to look through the smoke of a volcano to adjust a script or position some lava, just hide the particles!

ctrl-shift-alt 0 – grass
ctrl-shift-alt 1 – normal/simple prims
ctrl-shift-alt 2 – phantom prims and alpha particles
ctrl-shift-alt 3 – trees
ctrl-shift-alt 5 – land
ctrl-shift-alt 6 – sky
ctrl-shift-alt 7 – water
ctrl-shift-alt 9 – all prims

there’s a full list in the viewer under Advanced > Rendering > Types

Simona finds a whale

i have always been a bit of a plant snob, well in Second Life anyway, and decided to see if i could become a better person and embrace default plants. i am building a region to be my home in Kitely and decided to only use default plants. it is supposed to be a tropical island and have dense jungle

i’m doing this build on sim-on-a-stick and then will upload it to Kitely. i was flattered to have Pathfinder give me a shout out on Flickr: “You always post such interesting pics of your regions. I’d love to visit them firsthand.” (thanks for the kind words Pathfinder) =)

soon this island will be on Kitely for anyone to visit (including me! i look forward to visiting with others!) =D

he also linked to a real pic of him in Antarctica next to a real whale skeleton – pretty cool stuff! *thumbs up*

nothing hiding

hiding the trees to view grass placement

trees and grass hidden

hiding the land to see tree and grass density

just the grass to see its distribution

Great to see the progress you’re making Ener :-)

I look forward to seeing what you’ll upload to Kitely once we start supporting bigger worlds as well.

it does help me for sure Sunny, but then i am so scattered that i get distracted by a zillion things so hiding some of it helps

btw, WAZZZUP?!?!?!?!?!? =D

[...] want a map of the underground for Hax Nuit but I have a lot of prims in the way. you can hide all prims by doing ctrl-shift-alt 1 and take a snapshot or export the terrain file and load it into [...]
