However, I'm a total tease, and FIRST I'm going to tell you about Actions. Lights, Camera, Actions! Actions are great when you have repetitive motions you need to go through. Firstly here, I'm going to assume throughout this (and, really, all my other) rambling, that your window setup is like mine. You see on the probably right side of your screen (your right, not its right....ok, so I don't think I've mentioned this, but I have a really hard telling my left from my right. If you can't find it, pull down the Windows menu, and choose Actions. There are a couple of folders- Default Actions, possibly Textures. The ultimate guide to prim twisting. [UPDATE: September 12, 2009] I corrected a few mistakes over time (thanks for the head-ups everyone), so if something didn't work for you, try again now :) Aah, prims.
Plywood shapes that magically turn into the most beautiful SL builds. Yes, those prims know how to twist and shout! ... Wait, wh... what?! We've got sculpties in SL now, which means almost any prim shape is possible without big prim cost.

Update: For the impatient, see this alternative tutorial for a crash course to using Blender to make sculpties. This tutorial describes one way to make sculpt textures from a mesh for use as "sculpties" in Second Life using Blender 2.43. If you have never used Blender before, consider looking at the many starting tutorials on the Web to familiarise yourself before diving into this.
