Louis - Wall Paneling Kit Decor

The Louis Rug, Queening Stool AV, and Wall Paneling and Accent kits are 20% exclusively at Cosmopolitan from 27 June - 10 July.

This set is designed to be as extensible as possible to allow you to frame your room with the columns and decorative moldings and frames.  It includes all six of the Louis wood textures:  Ebony, Amarante, Mersawa, Waxpaint (off white), Silvered (metalic), Gilded (gold metalic).  The  Ebony, Amarante, and Mersawa colors are shared by the Port Royal range so this kit will work beautifully with those furniture pieces as well.

PLEASE NOTE: Using this set is going to require intermediate building skills and an understanding of how to use the align and snapping tools for best results. 

There are two linksets included in this set, sized at 4 meters tall and 3 meters tall.  Begin with whichever is closest to your ceiling height for easiest use.

When you rez the linkset out it is all one piece and if you click the info prim on the ground in front of it you will get the texture option menu where you can set the color and the transparency of the frames centers.

ABOUT STRETCHING - wall prim and moldings

The wall plane prim is not required, but it will help you with aligning everything.  If you like your current walls simply remove the wall prim once you have everything aligned properly.  It is a seamless UV which is square at 4m x 4m.  The grid is there to help you align things and also to see how the texture will lay.  If you wish to use the wall prim, adjust the repeats on the texture tab of the edit window until the squares on the wall look square.  Then you will be able to use any seamless texture for your walls, or set the texture to blank and simply tint to your desired color.  So if you stretch it to 8m wide by 4m tall, the horizontal repeats should be 2.  

This is also true of the three molding strips.  They are seamless horizontally and are set to 4m so if you were to stretch it to 12m you would want 3 horizontal repeats.  At 2m the horizontal repeats would be 0.5.  The moldings are pretty forgiving so if you stretch just a little bit you should not need to fiddle too much.  I did the kit this way because it is much more efficient to stretch the wall and moldings the whole length of your room, it is fewer prims than having a bunch of segments and trying to align them without gaps..
