This is the tool to repair OBJ file of TATARA 5.0.137-144. TATARA 5.0 user can use it.
TATARA displays both: a Sculpted prim and its texture.
Sculpted Prims can be edited in the five modes:
ROKURO/TOKOROTEN/MAGE/WAPPA/TSUCHI.
The five modes can be combined and used together.
Furthermore, TATARA can correct coordinates for every control point in the BITMAP and TSUCHI mode.
For more information on the different modes, see below.

Caution: It is not guaranteed that a display of the prim in TATARA will be exactly the same as the appearance of the Sculpted Prim in Second Life.
TATARA 5.0 users can use their password.
TATARA 3.0, 4.0 users need to purchase an updated license from the serial box in SL at: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Phasic%20Foo/32/13/23
The password for TATARA is different from the password for ROKURO Pro.

Operating environment
Windows XP/Vista/7 - The environment where "Second Life" for Windows operates.
Install
There is no installer.
Uninstall
You can uninstall only by deleting the file called TATARA.exe.
How to use Preview
You can drag an object and make it rotate.
You can see a sculpted prim in more detail than ROKURO Pro.
A red point is the control point chosen.
An orange line is the section chosen.
The gray lines are sections which are not chosen, and will not move or be adjusted.
A green line is a joint of the sculpted prim.
You can stretch the object by x,y,z trackbars.
Disp Frame - You can check the maximum size of a sculpted prim.
You can hide the preview with the left edge button.
How to use Edit
You can select a single control point or a range of points to move together.
The points can be dragged, rotated or moved together.
Holding down the CTRL key during this movement of the points causes the arrangement of the control points to be distorted.
You can also lock the selected control point(s).
If you set Edit Level to Middle or Far, other control points will be rearranged from the control point displayed by Level of Detail. The method of rearrangement can be selected by Setup on File menu.
You can display the Bitmap tab on another pane.
*The stretch of edit is restricted.
The Tabs in TATARA:
ROKURO
ROKURO is a Japanese turning lathe, a potter's wheel. ROKURO mode makes a solid lathe-type object.
The buttons on the lower left beneath the grid "<" and ">" choose the section to edit.
TOKOROTEN
TOKOROTEN is Japanese extruded jelly. TOKOROTEN mode makes a pushed-out object.
The buttons on the lower left "<" and ">" choose the section to edit.
*Shapes using a combination of TOKOROTEN and ROKURO can be made.
However, these may not be entirely satisfactory.
MAGE
MAGE means bending in Japanese.
MAGE mode makes shapes similar to bent pipes such as a neon tube.
The buttons on the lower left "<" and ">" chooses the section to edit.
You can change the direction displayed with the 6 buttons marked XZ, YZ and XY below the grid.
WAPPA
In WAPPA, a section of MAGE is edited.
The center of a section is moved to the center of the edit display.
*Shapes using a combination of MAGE and WAPPA can be made.
However, these may not be entirely satisfactory.
TSUCHI
The object displayed by Orthographic projection from three directions is edited.
You can change the direction displayed with the 6 buttons marked XZ, YZ and XY below the grid.
If you check "Disp Only Surface", you can edit only the control point which constitutes the face displayed.
If you uncheck "Disp Edit Line", only the edit line selected by "Edit Line" on the View menu will be displayed.
BITMAP
If you left-click and drag in the grid area, you can choose control points.
You can also select multiple points by holding down the Shift Key.
Selection and release are determined by the control point clicked first.
You can reveal a pop up menu by right-clicking.
The control points can be adjusted in 1 or more pixel increments by changing the numeric value in the text box below the grid.
TEXTURE
Here you may draw a texture, or draw on a texture you have already loaded.
Black Button- The color of the drawing pen is black.
Red Button- The color of the drawing pen is red.
Blue Button- The color of the drawing pen is blue.
White Button- The color of the drawing pen is white.
Eraser Icon Button- Eraser
A straight line can be drawn, by holding down the shift key while dragging the mouse.
How to use the Menus:
Texture Menu (On the far left of the menu bar)
-Reset
Returns display to default texture.
-Load [FileName]
You can reload the texture which is displayed currently without displaying a dialog box.
-Load
The image which will eventually cover your shape will be loaded. The software resizes the file size to 512x512. The file types that can be used are JPEG/PNG/BMP/PSD.
TATARA judges Stitching Type of a Sculpt Map automatically. When it is not being recognized correctly, please use my application "NUIME".
-Save
You can save a texture. The size of the texture on a 32x32 sculpted prim is 512x512. The size of a texture changes by the number of vertexes. The file types that can be saved are PNG/TGA.
-Divided Save
While you are editing two or more sculpted prims, a texture is divided and saved for every sculpted prim from an original texture file.
File
-New

You can choose one type among Sphere, Torus, Plane and Cylinder.
You can select the size of an object from 4, 8, 16, 32 (Default), and 64,128,256. Height and width are selected separately. A big object is divided and saved into two or more sculpt-map files when you save it.
*The divided sculpt-map file cannot be merged.
"You can select" - Here you may select whether your project is a single prim or multiple prims.
-Load
Sculpted Prim Texture is loaded from a bitmap or original XML file format. The formats of the image which can be loaded are .tga .jpg .bmp .png .obj .txt.*You cannot load the text template file format before TATARA 4.X.
*You can load the sculpt-map file of the size of 64x64/128x128/256x256/512x512.
*There is no compatibility in the ROKURO and TOKOROTEN export files. Only ROKURO's 33-point file is compatible.
*You can't load Collada file.
-Save [FileName]
You can save the object file which is displayed currently without displaying a dialog box.
-Save
A sculpted prim bitmap (.tga), .obj file, and XML file is specified and outputted.
*An output sculpted prim bitmap's size is 64x64/128x128. The .obj file can be used by Wings3D and Blender.
*The XML file has the information on the stretch of an object.
*When you upload multiple sculpted prims, please set their "Stitching Type" to plane.
*If you output multiple sculpted prims, you can output the prim position information used by TSUBO to a text file.
*You can save Collada file for Mesh of Secondlife. The same UV map as the sculpted prim is outputted. Only High of LOD is outputted.
When you select it, you can select following option.
Scale - You can set the scale of the object.
Hard Angle - You can specify the hard angle of normal vector.
The optimized vertices - The vertices are optimized. Almost the same UV map as the sculpted prim is outputted.
Save .dae and .obj file - The optimized OBJ file is outputted together. Because the Collada file and the OBJ file use the same texture file, you can use it by SOMATO.
-Setup

-You can set up Rotation Degree and Twist Degree.
-You can set up the TGA size of file to save. 64x64 is the recommended size.
-Relocation to LOD - You can choose the way of rearranging control points according to Level of Detail. Edit Level uses this setting.
--None - The control points aren't rearranged.
--by Linear - The control points are rearranged by linear.
--by Parent - The control points stick to the control point of the standard.
--by Subdivision - A control point is rearranged on the curve.
-Copy Protection by transparent - When a Prim is modified, you can make it transparent to prevent the texture from being copied by screen capture.
-The independent Bitmap Tab - The Bitmap tab is displayed on another pane.
