   Great site!
   I'd like to talk a little about pinching cylinders.
   I seem to be having some problems with it. Or at least I think I do.

   I've flattened my cylinder and then pinched it off.
   

   After that I import into blender, use primstar to make the sculpt and upload it to sl and in edit mode I get this visible seam:
   

   Is it normal having that visible seam in edit mode? (Theres no visible hole there or anything) It doesn't really bother me as I can hide it with good textures but If there's a possibility of removing the visibility of it in edit mode I'd like to. Just wondered if you people got it as well? Thanks!

   Yeah. There will always be a visible seam, or a visible pinch-point, unless your sculpt can use torus stitching, or you're making a geometric shape where everything's all hard edges anyway. It is a product of SL's default lighting, which THINKS that the edges are separate, and tries to shade the mesh accordingly. There's no way out of it unless the seam is on a perfectly flat surface.

   So you're doing the right thing, hiding the seam with texturing. That or physically hiding it someplace where it won't be visible.

   Cool, Thanks a lot. It's not really a problem but just had to make sure that I wasn't doing anything wrong

   Now I can move on and like you said either hide the seam or just texture the hell out of it.
