Ryder Spearmann has been doing some sculpture work with the my SL Testbed for making sculpies in modo. After some investigation he found that the gradients I created are “eased” (which is the automatic form of a gradient in Modo). This causes distortion at the outer edges of the sculpie, so I’m pleased to present the improved testbed. It can be downloaded from:

Here’s what the gradients used to look like–note the curves:GradientEase.png

I’ve been making some updates to my original testbed to bake SL’s sculpie objects in Modo. This new testbed will do a much better job of getting the “poles” of the sculpie sphere in the center. Get it here:

Here’s an example cube (in wireframe) to show the sculpie-sphere now deformed into a cube-like shape.
