2. It has an easy edit function like a graphic tool.
   
3. It has functions to shorten editing time, such as flip and mirror.
4. It can output an OBJ file with a texture. And it can excport OBJ files to Blender. And it can make Collada for the mesh of Second Life.

NOMI(Chisel) is Sculpted Prim Relief Maker.

NOMI is the software which simply makes sculpted prim with relief contours from one picture using the brightness of it. A preview can be checked before uploading to SL.
From the original picture, the software outputs a sculpted prim picture and a texture picture. Moreover, better relief can be achieved if the desired height information is added and processed. A user moves a control point, can smooth the surface of relief or can make the relief which is not a square.

The mainly improved functionality is as follows.

• The interface of the edit pane was improved like KUMIKI.
• Wrap on the edit menu was added.
• The Edit Level function like TATARA was added.
• The Texture Update function was accelerated.
• The function which outputs a Collada file (.dae file) was added. You can make the Mesh of Second Life.

TSUBO is a tool which assembles multiple prims of TATARA.
TSUBO can make multiple prims from the textures on which you have full permissions.
Please check my tutorial blog.

SHIBORI shrinkwraps an OBJ file and single or multiple Sculpted Prims and outputs it to an OBJ file or Sculpted prim. You can make sculpted prims from OBJ file easily.

You can wrap an object by three methods.

You can wrap an object by 28 kinds of sculpted prims.

You can adjust the gap.

SOMATO will project a flat picture onto your sculpted prim and OBJ File and KANAE Collada File, and display it as the texture of your sculpted prim and OBJ File and KANAE Collada File.
You can specify the strength of light, either Ambient or Diffuse.
You can add the sculpted prim's natural shadow to the texture.
You can make textures of multiple objects.
The textures made from SOMATO are managed by the layer.

If you have an avatar OBJ file, you can make the texture of skin or clothes easily.

You can set the value of the ambient occlusion to shadow layer.

HANKO is a tool which adds your signature image to the alpha channel of your Sculpt Map file.
It protects your work from being stolen by a screenshot etc. And it also supports the aspect ratio of a Sculpt Map.

ObjCut divides OBJ File by the material, the group, and the selected group.
ObjCut 1.X users can use their password.

IDOBATA is the tool which reads out the chat which saved as text by other software, such as Secondlife.

It watches the chat file and speak the updated chat by Microsoft Speech API 5.4 or Microsoft Speech Platform 11.
You can unify the voice and the chat. So, your in-world radio live will be extended.

This program reads binary altitude map(BIL) and outputs a texture and height map in bitmap form.
This program can also read the data of SRTM3 data(HGT) and the data of The Global Land One-km Base Elevation (GLOBE) Project.

And it can make Collada file for the mesh of Second Life.

• Preview Pane was added.
• All the functions were reconstructed.
• Edit mode is almost same as TATARA.
• You can use the same function on Mac OSX.

This Program makes Sculpted Prim texture .tga file of the extruded object.
Stephen Zenith says,"I've just tried it using Wine on Linux, and it seems to work perfectly, just like Rokuro does."
Thank you, Stephen Zenith!

UTSUSHI is a tool which reads an OBJ file / KANAE Collada file and creates the background image for TATARA or ROKURO Pro or ROKURO or TOKOROTEN. And the outputted image can be used as Height data of NOMI.
You can make the sculpted prim which an avatar attaches using this tool and TATARA. You can also combine multiple sculpted prims by them.

TATARA and SOMATO judge the Stitching Type of a Sculpt Map automatically.
When they read the Sculpt Map which is output by a 3D tool, it may not be recognized correctly.
NUIME corrects a Sculpt Map so that Stitching Type of a Sculpt Map may be correctly recognized by TATARA or SOMATO.

TUZURA is a program which changes the coordinate of an OBJ file for TATARA 5.0.
It can correct the fault of the OBJ file which TATARA 5.0.137-140 and TATARA 5.0.144 output. And it can change the coordinate of the OBJ file of TATARA 4.0 for TATARA5.0.
