Schadenfreude Artist's Butterflies

Butterflies at Japonica, inspired by family crests, Ukiyo-e, and paper and fabric patterns.  5 different designs, each in 10 color options (including stark black and whites), sold by design or in a pack of them all.  Each includes a variety of butterflies: clusters that fly in circles in 2 sizes to wear or rez, a single butterfly that flies in a circle you can set the radius of, a flapping trail of 4, static butterflies in 5 poses (4 including mirrors, the 5th is symmetrical), and single wing flapping animated butterflies that hover in place or flap their wings while perched.  Collections of butterflies in single objects can be set to different texture options with the HUD by using the numbered buttons or the "Choose" mode.

Most movement of butterflies, flapping wings and in circles, is done with persistent properties that are low lag, and will continue even when unscripted (the exception is the perching butterflies, those do require a script to flap).  You can disable scripts with the HUD or manually to make the butterflies have even less impact on your region, make sure you do it in a copy if you delete the script!

Butterflies are also designed to allow you to tweak transparency and glow if you wish- use the Build menu to change those settings.  Select Face and set just the wings to transparent for the single butterflies, to avoid transparency conflicts.

At Japonica, June 30@8am SLT - July 23@8am SLT!
