symptom:
Everything looks right:
- All sculpties have a UVTexture named “sculptie”
- in the UV editor you can see a colored or a black rectangle when in edit mode
When you call File -> Export -> Second Life LSL (to dir), you find less sculptmaps in the export directory as expected.
cause:
Some of your parts share the same Scultp-map. So it is only exported once. The sharing of a sculptmap by 2 or more objects can be intentionall. For example if your build contains multiple parts with the exact same shape. The 4 legs of a table for example would only need one sculptmap if they have the same shape (and only differ in rotation, scaling and location).
Sometimes however the sculpt-map sharing is unintentional. You get this unwanted sharing for example when you have duplicated your Object by using “SHIFT D”. In that case both objects share the same sculpt-map.
If the sharing is intentional you do not need to do anything. The LSL Generator can handle this situation. Only if the sharing is not wanted, you need to fix it:
fix:
You only need to fix this when the sculpt-map sharing has happened unintentionally. In that case do this:
- Go to object mode
- Select one of the objects which share the same sculpt-map.
- go back to edit mode
- select all vertices
- in the uv image editor: Image -> new Create an image of the exact same size as the sculptmap has.
- rename the new image to your needs
Do this for all parts which unintentionally share the same sculptmap. Then rebake the whole set and finalle export the set again.
