I suspect it would be possible to take all of the vertices in an object, attempt to make them into a mesh, and then see whether that mesh could be a sculpted prim, but I can tell you that I would not know how to achieve such a thing....

What kind of effort would it take to make such a script or device, if possible? -iD Is there no way to take objects made in-world and convert them to sculpted prims, in-world?

I'm not sure what LL's going to do about it, but as current expectations of prim placement, dimensions, and rotation are that they are *exact*, I hope LL will consider keeping sculptie images lossless on their side.

Wings3D seems ideal for creating a quick and simple sculptedthing - provided the texture works properly of course.

I've found Blender (blender.org) very useful in these endeavors but I think I might try out this Wings3D to do a little comparison sculpting. I've been dreaming about a Latin Fruit Hat to wear out on special occasions... and now my dream may finally come true. Congratulations on your first sculpted prim!
