So this thread is a bit old, and notifications aren't great in this forum, so I'm not sure anyone is going to see this. But what the heck...
This is NOT a special super secret shape, and devs are not cheaters as I had (good-naturedly) accused them of. (or at least they aren't THIS time :-P )
This is just a cylinder that has been altered via the stretch tool.
Steps to replicate:
1) Make a cylinder sculpt.
2) Copy it so that you have 3 separate sculpts end to end (the circular ends).
3) Link all 3 via connectors
4) Use the green stretch tool to shrink one of the end sculpts.
This should cause the middle sculpt to shrink on ONLY one side, giving you a tapered cylinder. I've tested most of the other primitive shapes, and none of the others seem capable of being distorted this way. It appears to be a talent specific to the cylinder. You also HAVE to be using the stretch tool. The regular move tool doesn't cut it.
This isn't the most useful thing for sculpting, since you can't create one halfway through a sculpt process, but it's easy enough to make a starting shape. Mostly I'm just excited to have the mystery solved.
