Must the password of a second life be entered into TATARA?
The serial box which you purchased tells you the password for which TATARA asks.
It is not a password of a second life.
I entered my name and password. But its still saying I'm not registered.
A user name distinguishes a capital letter and a small letter, and First Name and Last Name are separated by one space. Please check it. I recommend to use copy & paste of a keyboard shortcut for a registration of your name and password.
There seems to be a lack of place to get the serial box of TATARA in Second Life.
TATARA Serial Box is in http://slurl.com/secondlife/Phasic%20Foo/32/13/23 . I think that your having said will be that a picture is not displayed by SLURL. This is a problem of googleMap and SLURL shows the right position.
I bought TATARA serial box. But, I can't see my serial number.
Please Rez and touch a serial box. Then, a serial box displays Password only on you.
I registered TATARA. But I cannot save the texture of a sculpted prim.
Level of detail is not Near. Please set View - Level of detail to Near and check the global image of a sculpted Prim saved.
What is the difference between TATARA and ROKURO Pro?
ROKURO Pro is simple operation by automation but it has limited function. TARARA has many functions but it is complicated operation. Please use a tool properly by the thing which you want to make. I am both continuing development. I am going to add the function which suited the character of each software.
Does TATARA operate on 64-bit OS?
Though TATARA is 32-bit application, I checked that TATARA can run on Vista 64-bit.
I made a sculpted Prim. It looks fine in TATARA, but it looks terrible in inworld.
Did you uploaded it by Lossless? If you have not done so, I recommend to set TGA size as 64x64 in a setup dialog, and upload by Lossless. And Please set Outline Adjustment of Setup to Off. Though it was the right viewing, it is wrong now. I deleted this function.

Thank you for your information and texture, Bach Fride.
Can I buy TATARA serial box as gift for another avatar?
Sorry, I can't sell a serial box as a gift.
How do I save the files with tatara? XML file, TGA file, OBJ file (mesh of quadrangles) or OBJ file (mesh of triangles)?
If you upload it to secondlife, please save it by TGA file. Only the TGA file can upload to second life. If you want keep all the edit information, please save it by XML file. If you want to edit it with other 3D tools, please save it by OBJ file. The quadrangles are easier to edit than the triangles. The triangles show more correctly than the quadrangles.
When I save sculpties by TATARA 5.0, I see some sculpties. Why?
TATARA 5.0 can make multiple prims as one object. If you select 4x256, 8x128, 16x64, 32x32, 64x16, 128x8, 256x4, it is single prim. If you select other size, it is multiple prim. You can see green lines on the object of preview pane. If you check "Output text for TSUBO", you can get a text file to assemble multiple prims by TSUBO. If you want how to use TSUBO, please check my tutorial blog, TSUBO -preparation- and TSUBO -assemble multiple prims-
I can't use LOD of the View menu and Edit Level.
The function of LOD was divided into the edit and the display. If you change LOD, Edit Level will be changed automatically. If you want to check LOD, please choose LOD on the View menu and change it. If you want to rearrange control points corresponding to LOD, please change Edit Level in the bottom of the edit pane. And you can choose the method of Relocation to LOD of Edit Level on the setup dialog. Please choose except "none".

I made the sculpted prim of Torus. I uploaded it and applied it to the object. But it didn't become the expected form.
Please insert the following script in an object.
default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        list src = llGetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_TYPE]);
        list dst = llListReplaceList(src, [PRIM_SCULPT_TYPE_TORUS],2,2);
        llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_TYPE] + dst);
        llSay(0, "PRIM_TYPE_SCULPT is changed to PRIM_TYPE_TORUS");
        llRemoveInventory(llGetScriptName());
    }
}
Once it puts in, a form will change. This script is automatically deleted.
After you delete a script, a form doesn't change if it is copied.

How to make a sculpted prim from the OBJ file?
A sculpted prim is difficult to transform from an OBJ file automatically, because structure is limited.
There are the two methods of making a sculpted prim from the object edited with 3D software.
1) Read into 3D tool the OBJ file made for the sculpted prim. And edit it to change neither a vertex nor structure. And output it to a sculpted prim.
You can do it by TATARA. You can output an OBJ file by TATARA, can edit it with 3D tool, can read it into TATARA again, and can make it a sculpted prim. ROKURO Pro can do it only sphere of 32x32.
2) Make a sculpted prim fit the OBJ file edited with 3D tool. You can do it by SHIBORI. Please see the following tutorial. TUTORIAL B01 Make Shoes
You can also do it by the combination of UTSUSHI and NOMI. UTSUSHI can make an OBJ file the image which shows height with the brightness of a pixel. As NOMI makes relief using the image, it can make a sculpted prim. Please see the following tutorial. TUTORIAL N03 Make a Bust
