Good evening guys and gals,

I decided recently to get into trying to make sculpties. So i got myself Wings3D and downloaded the scuplty templates and the exporter. I also got the advanced topography ones and decided to try and make a sneaker shoe sole.

I create a cilynder and work my way from there, and export it . Everythign seems to work as planned, and i do get the shape im after in world, only it looks like it was carved out of wood by a blind chimpanzee....i mean, the sides are noo smooth, instead there are like grooves etc...

Could anyone please tell me what i am doing wrong? and maybe even give me tyips and tricls that could help wth creating a standard shoe sole?
Thanks in advance :)

It could just be the fact that you aren't uploading losslessly.. some scults go to hell when they aren't, while others barely change, so get SLImageUpload (I think its on the wiki.secondlife.com portal) and use it to upload your sculpt map to see if it fixes it.

If it doesn't, then it may be you did somet hings that cause more faces and whatnot.. I don't know what happens if you export something not fully sculpty compatible o.o
