Too bad you can't whip up a way to get up to the top there. Like a ladder or some steps onto one side of the island. Other than that I'm glad to see this back in production!

I like the ladder idea or a rope or ................. you could have Rapunzel!

Ohhh a secret tunnel. Now there's an idea, and it doesn't really need to be a tunnel, just the entrance and exist to give the appearance of a secret tunnel. ;)

I'm sure you you could tinker around with moving and rescaling the stairs and a rock at the bottom to act as a jetty ;) Thats what I'd do at any rate

Just add a jetty, don't even need a visible cave, if it's a secret way up after all. ;)

True Tana. I hadn't thought of that. A secret should remain a secret. ;)

I have an idea for a secret way up;:rolleyes: it would be a simple add-on pack.

@LisaB - Request: Could you either include a mirrored version of the steps/landing assembly (turning in the other direction at the landing), or make the stair sections and the landing separate pieces? I also have an idea for an alternate setting (small terrain playset), but I'd need to make the stairs zig-zag. I can do that myself quickly, but then I wouldn't be able to share the add-on.

Yes, the stairs and landing will be provided as separate props so you can arrange them however you wish. I am working on that today.

In the mean time, I loaded another one of PhotoGG's skies and made some test renders. I love these!

GG's skies do give it a different atmosphere on this one more evening this time. Looking really good Lisa!!

PhotoGG's skies ARE amazing. Has anyone tried them with the IDL Sphere (which I use with all my scenes) or any other sky sphere?
