1. Before upload sculpt texture, there’s some trick you can do to maintain the sculpted prim scale. While in Blender, make sure you’re still in Object Mode then hover your mouse over 3D workspace and press “N”.
The Transform Properties appear, put you attention on DimX, DimY, and DimZ. These number are telling us the scale of sculpted prim in Blender unit.
Since 1 Blender unit equal 0.5 meter in Second Life. You just divide all these number by half then you’ll got the scale of sculpted prim in Second Life.
From the example the amount are :
DimX 2.274
DimY 1.621
DimZ 1.820
In Second Life your exact model scale are :
X scale = 2.274/2 = 1.137
Y scale = 1.621/2 = 0.810
Z scale = 1.820/2 = 0.91
When you got all these number then close Blender and move to step2.
2. Upload sculpted texture by running Second Life viewer and select from top left menuFile > Upload > Image
When you upload sculpt texture make sure the Use lossless compression is check!
3. Find any sandbox you like. I Prefer Help Island Public. In sandbox, right click on empty ground and select Create.
4. Prim appear and building menu popup. In building menu click on object tab.
5. Now change “Building Block Type” to Sculpted.
6. Open your inventory and drag your Sculpted Texture to replace default texture.
7. The sculpted prim will start appearing but you need to correct the scale by enter the value number you got from step 1 into scale properties..
8. HooRay! enjoy your first Sculpted Prim made with Blender! :)
So I got to the part where I bake my model in blender and for some reason this is what I end up with.

I dont know what i did wrong. i already wasted 10L uploading my first atempt not realizing it gives you a preview before you upload so i really want to make sure i have it right before i try to upload my sculptie again. please help
@ReggieEmerald You can preview your sculpted prim with SL upload tool (just select from dropdown menu > Preview as Sculpted Prim) or you could use Blender to do this too. After finished bake and save image goto File > Import > Second Life Sculpties and browse to the image you just saved. Blender will import .TGA file back to 3D object.
From the screenshot I see your sculpted prim have 194 vertices, 214 faces (showing at top of windows) do you remember what setting did you use when you add sculpt mesh? (Setting in Sculpt Mesh windows) It’s very important to keep the exactly same vertex/face when you start and finish modeling sculpted prim. If you accidentally add or delete any vertex/face the result after bake are uncertain.
