Hi. I am new to making sculpty prims, and I have run into a problem. Whenever I go to export the file and save it like it says to in the sl tutorial (as an sl bmp file) The program keeps telling me that it is an unsupported mesh size. I have tried making the sculpty smaller to see if that would fix it, and it has not. Would anyone please be able to help me and let me know how I can get it so it will work? Thank you in advance.

Make sure no two vertices are more than 10 units apart.

You didn't say what tool you are using, or what tutorial you are following, but it sounds like Wings 3D. Assuming that's the case, you need to keep in mind the restictions outlined at /8/20/183764/1.html. If you are trying to follow a Wings 3D tutorial that wasn't written specifically for making sculpties, exporting will probably not work. There are many sculpty-specific tutorials on the net; see a partial list at http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Wings_3D .

If you're not using Wings 3D, ignore everything I said.

I was using wings 3d, and the tut was made for SL.. but it was on how to make a wing or something. I just make something simple like a weird shaped rock thing. I will go check out the link thing you posted, thanks for trying to help.
