Hi all, a few things:

1- I've read over the forums and I keep looking for "Hi Im new and interested in sculpting, what is the easiest program to use?" And then none of the community can manage to give the same answer because they're all relating THEIR ease of use (which has come over 5 years) to program X.

2- I am not concerned over price.

3- I do not want this program for ANYTHING more than sculpting for SL.

4- I do not want to learn anything else than what is needed for SL sculpties.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, going off that:

I don't know anything related to this business, so all this talk about UV and whatnot just confuses me and extra features and what not makes it worse. Im not looking for a career in 3D, I just want to make cannons, rocks, and what not... simple stuff.

So with that said, what is the EASIEST program to learn (and by easiest I mean it has a GENTLE learning curve) for beginners that creates sculpties without a head ache? Im not looking for my eyes to pop out here over trying to make a rock sculptie.

Also I'd settle for something viewed as a bit harder if there is excellent tutorials and newbie guides and such sufficient enough to get people off their feet and making sculpties, but I'm sure you all can understand my situation: every time I read a thread it has 10 people giving 11 opinions and people coming into the scene don't know what to try as a result.

And I'd prefer not trying them all, that's just a waste of time.

If you have links to good tutorial videos or such for whatever program, please post them too!

Thanks

You should ask those questions in a builder forum, not in an animator forum.

You're in the wrong forum, but check out Torley's video tutorials - there's a nice one on sculpties.
