Default Re: strange issue with sculpties

Hmmm. I'm having a hard time telling from the picture, but do you mean that the sculpties look "inside out" ? i.e. As you rotate it, you're always seeing the inside instead of the outside. If so, what you need to do is flip your surface normals in AC3D (Surface > Flip Normals) and then in the UV map, flip the map horizontally. (There's a button in the TCE.) That should fix it.

As to size: Sculpties always come in at 1x1x1... as to why, that's a question for Linden Labs, although in practicality I'm sure the answer is because there's no way to embed scale information in most bitmap formats. (PNG and TGA allow extended information in the header, but a lot of the other file formats don't.)
