Some says sculpties are to reduce the number of prims used. Considering the level of detail possible, it might increase the level of prims used with desired level of fashion.

I'm not sure if you're saying that objects will end up with more prims, or just stating that they'll have more detail. Certainly the latter is true, but the former is most certainly not. I keep thinking of all the prims I could save with my avatar if I could get 3ds max to work. My head alone is about 70 prims, but I could easily remake it in 4 or 5 just the way I want it.

I'm thinking the same thing, always wanted a Japanese style furry head, just wish the learning curve on these programs wasn't so high.

Here's my WIP, not finished, not textured and missing eyes *eeek*

I don't want to blame anyone, but to me it somehow looks edited. The shading doesn't really fit and the light seems different on every statue. Also it looks like it's made of just one piece, but that's impossible. Just look at the toes! It looks perfect and that's not typical for organic things. Just have a look at posting #1 in this thread. You can clearly see which part is a single prim.

A few more information would be nice.

I am contemplating how to texture sculpted prims. Some programs like blender you can do that within the image but I am sticking to Rokuro right now its less intimidating but it does have it limitations to certain shapes and repeative patterns. My friend made me special graph I trying to decipher that has like like letters. I have learned sometimes lighting on prims can be odd with textures but you would think someone at Chiip's level could do almost anything with textures and lighting he wanted just on texture.

Just set to medium shiny & freebie textures (Marble Black & Marble Soft Pink) for these shots.

I just tried making my first sculpty in wings3d. I made a watch body. Still had to make other watch parts from prims but the sculpty did save about 10 prims.

Here is my first sculped chair with only one prim! Sorry about the standard zebra texture, but I thought it fits quite well. And additionally it covers a minor graphics glitch at the cavity to the left (seen from sitting position).

It looks great! Can you tell me which part of the sofa represents one prim each?

Sure. The dark green back is two prims (could have been one, but I figured it should be divided where the two seat sections meet). The seat sections are each one prim (each includes the seat cushion and wood frame). Each pillow is a prim, and the row of three back cushions is one prim.

1 Prim Hat

I finally got some time to mess with some sculpts

This was sculpted in ZBrush, ported to Maya, then to SL. The texture bakes went from ZBrush, to Photoshop, to SL.

That looks great. If you're using Zbrush 3 now I'd love to hear your thoughts about it. Shame you have to go through an intermediate app to get a sculpt map out.

Thanks Chip. Your stuff also looks fantastic! I'm still using Z2 for the time being (will be getting Z3 in a week or 2), but if Z3 doesn't suport NURBS for exporting, then I will always port to Maya.
