The Grotto [mesh] from Trompe Loeil

Trompe Loeil is proud to present our first mesh prefab - The Grotto! A low-prim desert/beach curtained poolside getaway, designed exclusively for this month's Designer Challenge! Don't forget to check out Barnesworth Anubis' corresponding entry on display as well!

Trompe Loeil's Designer Challenge



Incorporating detailed stonework, a sundrenched patio area and a bathing pool in a style reminiscent of ancient stone palaces hidden in a desert oasis, this month's photo inspiration was a departure from Trompe Loeil's usual arboreal style, but a fantastic first project to design in mesh. The Grotto takes advantage of the low prim count conversion of mesh, resulting in detailed stacked pillars and fencing at a much lower land impact than a prim version.

The Grotto is an open-air build consisting of double staircases leading up to a raised, generously sized stone patio with inlaid water channels that guide the flowing fountain water from matching raised pitchers into a tiled bathing pool. Set back from the patio, a curtained double-height gazebo-style structure welcomes visitors with the glow from stained glass hanging lanterns. Decorate with your favorite rugs, lounging pillows, tables and animations for a decadent beachside retreat fit for royalty. Package also includes two sculpted palm trees from the Trompe Loeil Caparra Collection for easy extra landscaping.

Each curtain grouping can be set to one of 5 different colors on touch for your own unique color customization. Mod/Copy permissions and carefully designed mesh objects make it easy to add in your own additional landscaping using the pillars and fencing.

Land Impact: 193 prims (not including optional palm trees) 
Mod/Copy/No Transfer 
Price: $L575
