Unreal had posted 3 gorgeous pics of a ballerina, then took them down and put up the "vertex vomit" (I love that phrase) - instead. Dunno why. His original 3 pics were highly detailed and I was wondering about prim count and stuff.

Thanks Unreal for inviting me to see your ballerina inworld.
Amazing. By the way I hope you don't mind me telling others what you said its all sculpted prims and 36 prims.
I have no clue about grey vertex vomit. Hmm Your Imagination, Your World of Grey Vertex Vomit, Why? LOL

These are still a work in progress. I have the shape the way I want it, but texturing them is quite a challenge! Some sculptie sneakers.

those are nice, i dig'em maybe there's a way you can eliminate the strings and make a semi-realistic flexi version?

I may experiment with prim laces, though I suspect they'd probably look a bit less realistic rather than more.

Cool textures on the sneakers. Texturing is one of the best aspects of the sculpted prims. It is SO nice to be able to paint directly onto the object's surface.

I've seen some neat sculpted water effects and wanted to try creating something myself. Pretty cool how the rippling shape of the sculpty can really change how the water texture slides over the surface. It looks much more organic and realistic.

Here's a short video I made showing the work in progress, since the stream I am working on is not accessible at the moment.

Great stream Vlad, I like the subtle changes in color and water direction.

Someone needs to tell adidas to get rid of their crazy prim shoe and replace it with a sculpty.

Developed a new method for Carrara Pro to create sculpties from RAW file terrain data. Terrain shown is Caledon on Sea

Nice Hypatia, How did you get a decent height map to use? i tried snapshot the search map in terrain mode but the values weren't exactly height map (arbittrary light and dark per terrain texturenot so good.

i guess other methods i could try, grab the live veiw of the sim with volume rendering off or something like that (mayby that in wireframe mode hehe) the possibilities blow my mind.

//ZZ goes offline for mental repairs.

well, I had Desmond Shang (the estate owner) download the RAW terrain file and give it to me.

Given that Caledon on Sea is a private sim, you can do that if you're the estate owner. Mainland is quite a bit different - you have to use llGround in a script I think to get ahold of height data. This is really something for private sims... also a nice idea for displaying sim RAW file designs in world.

The texture for the terrain does come from the terrain mode of the map, though.

If you've got a database on an outside server to receive all the llGround information it's very possible. You only need 33x33 heights for your sculpty, so you could send the data out in a few emails at a pinch.

21 step spiral staircase

09-12-2007 06:19

Here's my lastest scultpy creation, a 21 step spiral staircase.

Actually 3 sculpties in here. All 21 stairs are a single sculpty.
The whole thing you're looking at is 8 prims.

Here's a pic of a sim sculpty I made with a little .NET app I wrote, Terrain Sculptor. It uses a libsl bot to capture the terrain data and generate the sculpty. It'll generate a grayscale heightmap of the terrain too. I can't really say how the results compare to other people's techniques, but it's free. If you're interested, you can get it here:

Wow, that's a lot of detail on those stairs for only 8 prims, DanielFox.

And that Sim Terrain tool sounds cool Cadroe. You are always coming up with the best free buildign tools! I am gonna go check it out right now. I just finishing landscaping my first full sim and I would love to have a mini version for my inventory
