Converters for tools like Maya and 3DStudioMax and the SnurbO’Matic and the Simulator Terrain Mapping System are making it easier to get 3D models into Second Life. More here: http://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2007/06/sculpting_data.html

Residents continue to develop new spaces with amazing attention to details. The recent ability to create sculpties is making the development of more organic-looking objects possible.
