- installer : Jass on windows is distributed as a pre configured package containing blender, python and the Jass scripts. The installer does the whole job for you.
- scripts : If your operating system can run blender, you can use the distributed sources to install primstar/jass
- bundle : We have repacked blender with a working configuration. just unpack it and go.
- addon : Primstar-2 is designed to be plugged into Blender-2.5 as a Blender addon Module.
- (1) : Primstar-2 is under development. We have not yet documented all expected features here. Note that Features labeled with a Question mark (?) probably will be replaced by more suitable functions. Features labeled with a gray checkmark have either been scheduled for implementation or are currently under construction.
- (2) : Can be installed separately, sources freely available
- (3) : The library of meshes contains the library of sculpts. Note: Right now there is not much in it. More and better content will come soon. The Jass-Library of meshes might be distributed independently from Primstar-2 but as a separate and independent addon module.
- (4) : prices are very approximate and only meant as guideline. The Linden$ prices are exact.
- (5) : With the Early Adopters Program we give a discount of L$1000
- (6) : You can import your objects, then use Object -> Sculptify to convert your imported Object to a Sculpty. This only works if the imported Object IS already a sculpted Prim created wih another tool and just transported to Blender. Note: Ensure that your object has got the seams marked or mark the seams by hand before you try sculptify.







I’m presently working with Blender 2.59 Does Primstar -2-dev work with this version of blender?
Thanks
yes, it does work with all versions of blender starting from 2.58. However more recent versions of Blender tend to have important bug fixes which also influence the behaviour of Primstar-2, so we generally recommend to go with the newest released Blender-version
I need to know if the free primstar can EXPORT a 8×512 pixels sculptie correctly. I am aware of the old import problem for sculptcrafter sculpt maps, I want to know about EXPORTING only.
Does it work?
yes, it works for all versions of primstar and jass.
thanks Gaia,this shows people just how powerful the combination of primstar 2 and blender is….a must for anyone creating in sl…brilliant
