Many times people ask me if it’s possible to create two disconnected shapes from one sculpted prim–without resorting to alpha maps. The answer is yes, you can! It can be a little tricky depending on the shape, but it absolutely can be done. Today I’ll show you how using the AC3D exporter.
Two disconnected shapes made with one sculpted prim.
I was recently introduced to the delightfully-dystopian SL build of Suffugium. The New World Notes describes it as “Donald Trump meets George Orwell”, and I’d have to agree. It’s dark, oppressive and a lot of fun. There’s plenty to do and explore–to clarify for you cynics, that’s plenty of non-porn things to do–from avoiding the roving police drones to wandering through the twisting sewer maze.
All visitors are requested to give a handscan id. Don’t worry if you miss it; the police droids will find you for an obligatory scan soon enough!
Well, I finally broke ground on the starport in SL.
I started with some robot minions. I figured this is going to be a big job, so the first logical thing to make is some help.
The second thing I made is a crate. 
Instead of jetting over to Bali for climate talks, Edward Markey (a Democrat from Massachusetts) will use a 3-D animated version of himself to address the conference at 9.30 am on Wednesday Bali time. It is estimated Markey will save 5.36 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions by doing this.
Watch the speech or the Q&A.
If you haven’t seen it yet, stop on by and check out “Sculpty Earth”! It’s a 3D topographic model of the Earth in Second Life that’s big enough to walk around on top of. It also has live cloud tracking. Nifty, eh? Now your friends can stand with you and point at their house even if they live on the other side of the world.
