Comments on: Creating sculpted Prims with Blender http://blog.machinimatrix.org/2008/05/12/blender-sculptie-creation/ Tutorials for 3D content creation for the upcoming Second Life machinima "We only live twice" Tue, 06 Jan 2009 20:23:05 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=MU hourly 1 By: Ed Bumstead http://blog.machinimatrix.org/2008/05/12/blender-sculptie-creation/#comment-221 Ed Bumstead Sat, 22 Nov 2008 07:55:12 +0000 http://machinimatrix.wordpress.com/?p=11#comment-221 I'm having the same problem as Zacko, occasionally the sculpt will just fail to export entirely. I have found that sometimes I can save the scene as a .blend file, restart blender, and then it will work, but not always. It tells me to check the console, and I get this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 543, in File "", line 515, in main File "", line 390, in updateSculptieMap RuntimeError: couldn't load image data in Blender anyone care to comment? This has been driving me nuts for weeks. I’m having the same problem as Zacko, occasionally the sculpt will just fail to export entirely.

Every other creation i have tried baking as a second life sculptie has not worked. For instance i designed a wheel to use on a car in second life but when i try baking nothing shows in the UV editor screen. Sometimes it makes me choose a sculp type (sphere, torus etc) and other times in says python script error but other way I can't bake anything else for secondlife use. I know the information I have given does not go in to detail about the python script but can some one help me please?????

I am having so much fun going thru them all now. I am so glad Gaia and Hussayn and whoever else is involved took the time and effort to do these tutorials. I was on the verge of giving up and just not knowing what was possible then finding your tutorials gave me enough info to start experimenting and learning. You all rock!!! :) Vin Awesome tutorial!!

But i am sure, there are enough even better examples available. Just a hint: The left side is a mirrored copy of the right side of the helmet. I added the text "jass" using an image editor, and then i used this as input for the texturing video. @highlander: The background image of the helmet is under copyright, so we can’t publish it.

As soon as you move the viewing angle a bit, the background images will be discarded, but they come back as soon as you go back into top/side/front view. Maybe this is what causes your problem ? Concerning the .blender directory. The location of this directory depends on how you have installed blender. I recommend, that you watch the “instaling blender tutorial”. There we describe a way to install your personal scripts-directory. This allows you to install different versions of blender on the same machine, yet keep your scripts at one place, and never loose them when you upgrade blender. Good luck ;-) Hi, Precious;

I had to use winzip and just put the address of where I wanted the files to go there, then it made the .blender folder for me. So all the scripts loaded up. To the above, I got the scripts to work.

It doesn't for me. I am using blender 2.47. I am not allowed to make a .blender folder either. So I made my own folders to see if that would help, still nothing, the scripts didn't work. I put them in the main directory, still didn't work. What am I doing wrong?

I am in top view. I have tried jpg bmp and png which is used in the tutorial. I have tried 1024 x 1024 500 x 500 and even smaller, nothing. Any suggestions?
