What's the trick to sculpties?

Every sculptie I've created myself turns out looking hollow once I've uploaded it (i.e the side in my direction doesn't render). The apple and banana looks fine though.

Are they still bugged or is there some trick to it?

Try flipping the teture horizontally before importing it into SL.


Depending on how you are making it, you might need to download an updated importer.

What are you using to make the sculpty?

I'm using Maya with the first exporter that was released.

I'll get the updated one if there is one, and try flipping it.

Thanks :)

Sculpted prim textures should be in your inventory at Library / Textures / Sculpt Textures , named Apple, Apple Stem, Banana, and Plate.

I'm reading reports from people about an inventory problem involving not finding things if they enter the entire name of the item, try leaving the last letter off if you are trying to find them by name. Or just navigate to the folder in your library and drag the texture onto the sculpty inworld.

We need to flip them now?? Horizontally or Vertically?

Horizontally since LL changed how they're rendered (see the sculpted prims wiki link). I've had mixed results with ZBrush though. Most of my stuff needs horizontally flipping so it doesn't look inside out, but a helix I made (http://www.sluniverse.com/pics/pic.aspx?id=171679) looked inside out after flipping so I had to revert it.

I had no idea what to make first when sculpties hit the main grid so i settled on this: http://www.sluniverse.com/pics/pic.aspx?id=171656 :P

Edit: BBCode is disabled but stupid vbulletin inserts URL tags automatically and trashes the formatting of the message anyway. :rolleyes:
