Sculpt Studio & Mesh Studio
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Sculpt Studio and Mesh Studio are in-world content creation tools, with additional web-based components.
They help SL content creators to bridge the gap between in-world building and the creation of Sculpts and Meshes.
The best way to learn about Sculpt Studio and/or Mesh Studio is by asking friends who already have experience. There are a lot of us in SL. If you need to find such a friend first, please visit our (very large) official support groups listed below.

Bought this ages ago, it’s almost become a permanent fixture in my workplace. For the basics its simple enough but to use it properly you need to be familiar with the concept of sculpties, texturing and building in SL, then it really is an incredibly versatile tool.
Don't expect it to be capable of everything, there are other sculpty makers that are better (easier) at some things than Sculpt Studio which may be a reason that some feel frustrated, but quite honestly anyone giving this product less than 4 stars needs to start looking for personal problems and a one or two needs medical attention.
You need to do your planning properly, know what you want to build and how you are going to build it then it is very quick and easy to use. Even very complex shapes can be produced with extreme accuracy. The mistake many people make is that they don’t do the RL paper/pencil/plan/calculate bit.
The price, is it really expensive? Indeed it costs more than a Big-Mac but then if you add fries and a large drink you are not far off. The products that I made using Sculpt Studio paid for it and much much more within the first few days. I now have 3D palm tree groups of three trees using just 2 prims made with Sculpt Studio. Such things would have been very difficult if not impossible with most of the other programs. Even so, if I want a quick rock then I prefer "sculptypaint" which makes my point; if you want to make everything then one product is not enough, but what Sculpt Studio does it does well and makes light work of a very complex process - that rates as a 5 in my book.

I'm very glad I bought this. It's fun and easy to use. All it takes is basic building skills, and maybe an occasional peek through the included manual (which by the way has pictures) the first couple times.
A Sculpt Map making app that even I can use without spending multiple hours either attending classes or reading instructions that I'd spend another week or 4 just trying to find explanations for the terms. Yes, there are classes available and instructions to read, but help is seldom farther then an IM Chat Group away. And most folks can be up and running straight from the box. If you can imagine it and picture it in your mind, Sculpt Studio can have you making it right quickly with a sculpt map that's ready to upload without needing any extra apps to translate or convert to SL compliance. Totally Fargin EXCELLENT
works great.. lil confusing on some stuff but otherwise a great product!
This was given to me as a gift by a VERY kind stranger, and I'm glad she did...within a day I was able to do sculpts that I never could have done in an external program.
If you can fiddle with prims, you can use this, it's that simple.
Awesome!
This will take a while to learn all the subtleties but is is a great tool and I love it already.
