Default Importing into SecondLife

So far I have tried every way I can think of and can't seem to get a sculpty to work inside SL,
The shape is half transparent and nothing like what I made,
Can anyone please give me step by step on this so I can get a shape to work inside SL ?

thanks,
please excuse my frustration,
Mav

Sorry for the late reply... here is one tutorial on exporting a model to sculpty.

Mav,

Welcome to the club of frustration. Unfortunately, even simple objects from the AC3D inventory become altered when uploading into SL. If you find a reasonably priced program that can do it, please send me a recommendation.

I'm sorry to hear you're having problems. I can't really think of a better program as none of them give you the power and flexibility that you can get out of AC3D, and certainly not at the price. All I can figure is that the learning curve for using the software is too steep for you?

Have you looked all of the tutorials on the Inivis site as well as those on the Independent Developer blog?

No, I don’t find the learning curve steep, but I’m reminded of the days of Windows 3.1. As I pointed out, a simple object from the AC3D inventory will not load into SL without becoming distorted, let alone a sculpty. The programmers need to put their heads together and figure it out so this program can be put to use. The price is irrelevant if it doesn’t work as intended.

I think the problem is with controlling the vertexes so the uploaded sculptie resembles the AC3D model. The way the exporter selects what points to make vertexes in the final sculptie doesn't take into account the details on the object, it's just a grid. It's possible to get things to work a bit better by messing around with the UV mapping, but it's pretty tough to make it work well.
