You can get a demo here on the Marketplace or get a real one here . They will be discounted by 20% until Monday November 2. The "3D moon" responds to windlight lighting as if it were 3 3D shape The planets will be very far outside your sim boundaries, and are always behind any off-sim landscape that you may be using, like they would in reality.

Make sure to enable Advanced Lighting Model in your Graphics settings, especially animated water on all landscapes and sand ripples on the Sahara Oasis landscape will look a lot better that way. This one is inspired by the Lijiang River near Guilin, in China. It's an incredible beau...
