Sculpted prims may only use 1 Land Impact, but they have a higher unseen impact on your build.

Of the three types of object available (prim, sculpted, and mesh) the sculpted prim often has the highest impact.

Each object has a weight:

Comparison of spheres:

Object weights:

  • Note that the mesh object physics weight count can be lowered by using a less complicated physics shape upon upload.
