A SL FIRST!!! 1 Prim for 3 Palm Trees !!! Lowest Prim Trees in SL !!!

Yes, you read the title correctly! ... ZA Marine has just released another SL first!!! This is a group of 3 palm-trees for the prim cost of only ONE PRIM !!! So thats 1/3 of a prim per palm :))) ... move over linden trees !!!

So you can now replace your linden palms with these, and reclaim 66% of your prims for other use!!!



To get a feel for what you can do with 10 of these, I have used only 8 or perhaps 9 (if i add one more) at my shop demo island (picture above), so please come have a look.

And they are not temp-on-rez rubbish (which SERIOUSLY lags your sim!). This is a standard sculpted prim.

LOL ... forget those 10/13/16 prim palm trees ... for one 13 prim palm, you could have 39 palms like this - thats enough to fill an island!

And don't underestimate the importance of saving prims - prims are the SL commodity.

I don't have to tell you how fast palms eat into your prims when you have beaches to fill! I had the same issue, that's exactly why I spent days sculpting this. I replaced most of 1 Prim Linden trees on my low-prim sim with these babies, and I ended up with more foliage and claimed back 80 prims to use elsewhere !!!

Understanding the limitations of sculpts and texturing them, originally I created these more for 3D backing-filling areas (expecting some minor quality issues up close) - like if you'd like to create some dense palm areas on your property, BUT they came up better than I expected, so I now use them all over - up close and far. JUST LOVE THEM!

These are being sold as a single group of 3 palms (1 prim) if you'd like to try it out or have a small spot, or in a box of 10 - so 10 x 3 palm groups = 30 Palm tree trunks!!! For the 10x box, you pay the price of 8 individuals, so 2 are free. If you want to talk hundreds, drop me a notecard (or try IM) in-world.




Also there are 2 slightly different shapes, the box of 10 include 5 of each shape, while individually you can only buy the one shape for now.

And as with my other stuff, they're only for sale because people nag me for them and also wanted to get prims back, so I listed them too.

Don't under-estimate how important each prim is when decorating! Rather save the higher-prim builds for you interior up-close decor.

So to be clear, that means it takes only ONE of your precious prims on your parcel for 3 palms!

The palms are no mod, no copy, but each has an adjustable size (via my lag-free menu). Size can be set to 3m, 5m, 7m, 8m, 9m, or 10m. The adjustable size with position and rotation abilities mean you can fill a massive area without seeing repeats. Also, sometimes it works better to 'bury' them a little. You need to experiment.

These are GREAT beach-fillers!!! And make great gifts too (Use the SL Exchange 'Deliver as a gift' button to send as a gift).

NOTE: Please view these palms at my shop ZA Marine @ Kijiji display. They use transparent textures on sculpts - which is not 100% in SL yet - you will see some transparency as you cam around the palms as SL battles to decide which of the 2 palms is in front or back. There are bugs being worked on in SL to improve the sculpt issues. The fronds (leaves) are also not very high detailed and fragmented on closeup. You can see it in the photo too. But in a natural scene they look great - you decide. Anyway, you could try one first, but most folks are SO happy with the prims they save for re-use elsewhere they love it. These are also a nice style of palms.

You can view these palms displayed with some of my other island goodies in my shop island (at ZA Marine @ Kijiji ), on my home sim, or along the most beautiful beaches in SL!

At the shop there's a sample in the "try-before-you-buy" Playbox to test the menu.

Click here to buy these on SL Exchange, or click here to visit ZA Marine shop @ Kijiji to view / buy them there

Enjoy!
