Archipelis Designer convert 3D models into Linden Labs' Second Life (SL) formats.
With Archipelis Designer, you can easily create models for use in SL and get the power of Archipelis
Designer technology (i.e. creating 3D models simply by drawing their 2D outlines and shapes)
applied to Second Life, thus giving you the best and easiest way to create new, unique and realistic
SL content.
For that, in order to create Sculpted Prims, you will need:
a license and a version of Archipelis Designer 2.0 or 3.0.
a Second Life account.
some L$ (Linden dollars) in order to pay Linden Labs (owner of Second Life) for uploading images. L$10 are taken for every uploaded image. A 3D model from Archipelis Designer will be converted into images to get scuplty prims definition (one image per shape and one image per texture of a shape). Thus L$100 to L$200 average is required for one model (hopefully, a small amount of real dollars).
With Archipelis Designer V3.0, new interesting features are coming:
improvement of Sculpted Prims texture quality.
animation capability (thanks to Fred Beckhusen's in-world animation module).
