Flexi-Prims
Just a quick note:
Prim trees and plants made with bundles of flat pictures look awesome with the new flexible prims. I spent a few hours last night tweaking flexibility, drag, and wind reaction parameters on prim weeping willows, cat-tail plants, and even plastic flowers. The latter sway somewhat stiffly in the breeze, just like real fake flowers.
Yes, that's right. I have succeeded in enhancing the realism of simulated plastic flowers. I feel this is a small, but important, victory in virtual world immersion.
