Not sure what have you installed or what procedure have you applied: automated or manual installation.

I posted the process I use: HOWTO Manually Install Primstar on Windows have tested in Windows XP/7 32bit and got two kind folks who helped me out testing the process on Windows 7 64bit and it perfectly worked using exactly the same process and same installers/files.

If it's not harm to you give it a try, there are the links and the names of the archives you need to install. The right files the right way.

Hope you sort it.

Hey Miracoli =)

You will find the download link here.

If you are on Windows XP or 7 there is a post: HOWTO Manually Install Primstar on Windows You're gonna find links to download Primstar; Blender; Python and images showing the installation steps.

Enjoy!

i search the same thing not found it

where is the downloadlink of the scripts? i doesnt find it

As mentioned above in this post, I was sure this method worked for Windows XP and 7 32bit, because I tested myself.

Gladily yesterday walking around SL met a couple nice folks, we started to talk about 3d modeling/design ending up talking about Primstar, Blender, Python and of course a little about Primstar's developer: Domino Marama.

Point is both were using Windows 7 64bit and kindly accepted my advice to give it a try and help me to figure out if this Manual Installation posted above worked right on the 64bit version.

Results are, fellas, it works exactly the same for both 32bit and 64bit Operating System versions. 

I'm quite happy there are folks willing to help a stranger, me in that case, to contribute to a small free software community like this one, without any other plan in mind besides to: help one another.

I would love to meet a lot more people like them much more often.

Ok so im here now where the fuck do i download the scripts?? that would be kinda fucking helpfull don't you think?

Downloaded

Python Windows x86 MSI Installer (2.6.5)

Blender 2.49b Zip Archive (15 MB)

Primstar 1.0.0

Followed the png images (1 thru 23) to a "T".

I still get the check console message.

I am using Windows 7.  

:(  Any help  and I would be very happy and thankful.

Unfortunately the above link is broken. But you can find another description in our newest tutorial about texturing sculpted prims. You can directly jump to the video subsequence by clicking on the label "Baked Specularity" on the left of the video screen. Here is the linkto the page: http://blog.machinimatrix.org/2010/07/07/sculpted-prims-part-iv/

have fun

The process I use on Primstar 1.0.0 is:

Steps Blender/SL:

Blender:

1) Select. (The meshes you want to parent)

2) Parent.

3) Bake. ( from the top menu: Render > Bake Sculpt Meshes)

4) Export. (Second Life LSL to Dir)

SL:

1) Create a cube/box, whatever that is.

2) Create an object and name it: Primstar and drag it into the cube's content folder.

3) Drag the maps you up-loaded in the cube's content folder.

4) Add: "New Script" in the cube's content folder.

5) Paste the code in the "New Script".

6) Ready to build. Click to start.

Hi.

The Machinimatrix has released a free distribution package for Mac-OS (verified on Snow Leopard). Download and installation is well documented and gives you a ready to run installation of blender/primstar plus some add ons.

Hi, Tikuf

Thanks for sharing this information. However i'd like to comment on a few points in your video and add some infos which might be of interest.

1.) the python version to be used is any python of the 2.6.* series where the smallest version that can be used is python-2.6.2 as this is what has been used during building blender 2.49b. BTW this is only true for Windows. For Mac OS the python 2.5 series have been used during compiling blender

2.) Installing blender: You can use the default installation setup without problems. In that case blender will put all data into the user data area which (on Windows-7) is typically under C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\blender\.blender\scripts However using your method is an absolutly legal way to go. Just be aware that you place application data into your installation folder if you go that way.

3.) Installing the primstar scripts can be done easier than you have shown in your video. You only need to copy the whole primstar subfolder into your user scripts directory or your default scripts directory. This is true for sure. I tested that tens of times. The primary goal of the primstar installer script was to ease up installation but in my honest opinion it made things much more unclear. The main technical reason for the installer script was originaly that it created the file "__init__.py" within the primstar folder. But the final primstar-1.0.0 distribution already contains the __init__.py and as far as i know currently there is no real benefit from using the installer.

One final remark on the video: I liked that it was a complete installation video for blender python and primstar. Many cudos to you for that! I only would do a small edit where you introduce the install.py script. there i would remove the first try to run the script. This is not because it failed but because it think it adds confusion instead of adding knowledge. But that is only my personal opinion here. Feel free to keep it as it is

cheers, Gaia

Yeah, my attempt to get Blender, Python, and Primstar to play nice has resulted in frustration and absolute failure, presumably because I dare to use a realtively modern 64-bit Windows OS.

I tried using 32-bit Blender and 64-bit Python, but got the %1 error when trying to add a sculpt mesh.

I tried using 32-bit Blender and 32-bit Python, but got a python27.dll error when trying to add a sculpt mesh.

I tried using 64-bit Blender and 64-bit Python, but Blender crashes on load.

Any suggestions on how to get this combination of software working on my rig? And no, installing Linux isn't an option--I don't want to have to reboot my whole machine just to run this thing.
