A heads up to those working on sculpt prim exporters, tutorials and the like: Qarl Linden posted this on the Sculpted Prims SL wiki talk page:

From: Qarl Linden

hey all - not sure how to get this info to the community - so i'm posting here. please spread the word.

the next update to sculpties are going to have two NOT backwards compatible changes.

1) the orientation of the texture is reversed. this means all textures need to be horizontally flipped in order to work (lest they be inside out.) this change fixes the orientation discrepancy between sculptie textures and surface textures (which have required a 90 degree rotate and flip.)

2) the LSL call to set sculpties is changing to require two parameters: the texture and the topology type (as discussed above.)

He also says that the LOD issues people have been having should be fixed in the same release.
