Multiple sculpties. Sculptiples? Multiplees?

Here's an interesting trick:

Make a box, and stick this script in it:

default
{
state_entry()
{
llSetPrimitiveParams( [PRIM_TYPE, PRIM_TYPE_SCULPT, "8c48855a-9554-6c9a-d3bb-c647a9b1af73", PRIM_SCULPT_TYPE_PLANE ] );
llSetTexture( "d56de183-ad22-e27f-4df6-5282a87aedf0", ALL_SIDES );
llTargetOmega(<0.0,1.0,0.0>,1.0,1.0);
}
}


Confuse your friends

very cool

Nice! This is using one of the lossless uploaders or something?

Thats amazing, thanks

SweeeeeeeT!!!

ps
BTW,does targetOmega work anywhere?

Tricky.

I have been wondering if it was possible to make a single sculpty that contains individual shapes like that. Guess it is.

Very, very cool.

Seifert, it was uploaded with the Release Candidate version of the SL Viewer, which includes an 'upload lossless' checkbox for sculpties.

Whoa. I needed a bit of staring at it in Edit mode to realize the fantastic trick here – they're all connected by a (completely) invisibly thin thread running from one center to another. (Viewing it in low detail seems to confirm this.)

Awesome work.

This might make a good topic for an upcoming tutorial

Trying hard to animate this...

But of course one can only have one animation for a texture... just playing with an eighty face texture that has transparency in it.. certainly produces some interesting effects..even though i havent looked into it deeper yet and tried to get an animation face per cube..

But i think it has promise.. and must say its great to be able to use things like this.. thank you Daniel

integer randNumber;
integer max_nr;
integer cur_nr;
integer time = 6; //write here your time

init()
{
max_nr = llGetInventoryNumber(INVENTORY_TEXTURE);
llSetPrimitiveParams( [PRIM_TYPE, PRIM_TYPE_SCULPT, "8c48855a-9554-6c9a-d3bb-c647a9b1af73", PRIM_SCULPT_TYPE_PLANE ] );
llTargetOmega(<0,0,0.02>,PI,1.0);
cur_nr = 0;


llSetTimerEvent(time);

llSetTextureAnim( ANIM_ON | LOOP , 0, 8, 10, 0, 80, 15);
llTargetOmega(<0,0,0.05>,PI,1.0);
}

default
{
state_entry()
{

init();

}

changed(integer change)
{
if (change & CHANGED_INVENTORY)
init();
}

on_rez(integer param)
{
init();
}

timer()
{


float random = llFrand(1);
float random2 = random*10.0-llFloor(random*10);
float random3 = random*100.0-llFloor(random*100);
llSetColor(<random ,random2 ,random3>,ALL_SIDES);

llSetTexture(llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_TEXTURE, 0), ALL_SIDES); //change ALL_SIDES to side nr. if you want
}
}

Ah cool, I was having trouble with uploaded 64x64 textures being very fuzzy, but I hear it works as intended for 128x128, haven't had a chance to try it yet.

I tried my hand at Daniel's technique, and managed to get six cubes from a single prim. I made it from a 16x16 plane, so it has the same LOD behavior as Daniel's. The UUID is fb9c4928-a687-8687-3a79-91b3806afcc0, in case you want to verify it.
