[[What is a Sculpted Prim|Sculpted Prims]] are created and manipulated in a slightly different way than conventional prims. Check out the following steps to create your first Sculpted Prim:
 
{|

[[Image:kbsd_kb_sculpted_edit_tools_window.png]]
|
# Find a piece of land where you can build, and click the '''Build''' button on the bar at the bottom of your screen.
# Select any type of prim from the tools window (the default is a '''Box''') and click the ground to create it.
# If you haven't already, click the '''More >>''' button to expand the tools window, and select the '''Object''' tab.
# In the Building Block Type dropdown menu, select '''Sculpted'''. Notice how some of the object editing parameters turn into a colorful texture! That texture, called a Sculpt Texture, defines the shape of the sculpted prim.
# You can change the Sculpt Texture by clicking on it and choosing a new texture from the Texture Picker.
# You can change the position, size, and rotation of a Sculpted Prim by using the edit tools the same way you would with a conventional prim.
|}
 
{{KBnote| If you pick a texture that was not intended to be a Sculpt Texture (like a Snapshot, or some wallpaper), the sculpted prim will take on a crazy, unexpected shape we like to call "texture vomit". These crazy shapes won't hurt Second Life or your computer's performance, but they may hurt your eyes!}}
 
You can find some free example Sculpt Textures on the [[Sculpted Prims: Sculpt Maps and Textures|Sculpt Maps and Textures]] page of the Second Life Wiki.
 
For information on how to create your own Sculpt Textures for Second Life, check out the [[Sculpted Prims: 3d Software Guide|3D Software Guide]] and the [[Sculpt Textures in Paint Programs]] pages of the Second Life Wiki.
