Primstar User Manual

Primstar is a set of scripts to make creating Second Life content in Blender fast and easy.
If you have any questions about the manual, please leave feedback in the forums. When the manual is completed, I will be deleting any comments on these pages that become outdated. Comments in the forums won't suffer the same fate.
The manual is currently a mix of 1.0.0 and 0.5.0 stuff so don't be surprised if what you read doesn't match what you see in Primstar. It will be fully up to date for when Primstar 1.0.0 is released. (make that mostly up to date - new physio exercises have put me behind on this, so manual isn't fully current yet).

Thank you very much for the scripts Domino!!
I use them on a daily basis, made my life way way easier!
Now I've a strange issue and I'm not sure it has to do with your scripts, but I'm truly lost here. Every time I try to bake a sculpt the same error appears in the console:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "/home/spike/.blender/scripts/render_sculptie.py", line 403, in
main()
File "/home/spike/.blender/scripts/render_sculptie.py", line 400, in main
bake_sculptie()
File "/home/spike/.blender/scripts/render_sculptie.py", line 349, in bake_sculptie
if ob.properties["ps_bake_scale"]:
KeyError: 'key not in subgroup dict'
I've tried baking a base sculpt, import, and make some from scratch without success.
I'm using Ubuntu 9.1, 64 bits, Blender 2.49b (deb package downloaded from the official blender site), and the primstar 1.0.
Do I miss some python file? Do you have a clue about this?
Thank you in advance!
I recently installed this on a clean machine this afternoon, that had not had blender or any previous sculpting program on it.
However, once i returned home and tried installing it on my machine, it did not work. correction: it does install, but i have an older version already installed, and i can't figure out how to un-install it and use the new version. I uninstalled blender and cleared the script folder, then re-installed blender and tried the new version, yet it hasn't worked, i just want some simple steps that i can do to change the program
hope that makes sense!
I don't understand why I can't do this. I downloaded primstar..do I move the primstar folder or the primstar list of files into the scripts folder? I did both, but I still get an error message. I see the import sculpty and I see the Sculpt Mesh, but I get an error message: Python script error, check console. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to laod Python? I am using Win 7.
Thx,
Joey

Hello!
I am a 64 bit user. I have a problem; when I try to create a Sculpty Mesh, it gives me an error! What do I do?
Post a copy of the error from the console.
Hi
I'm new to this and running into some problems....
First I got a Python error when I tried Add Mesh> Sculpt Mesh. I fixed it by installing what I think is the correct version of Python for OS X.
Now, when I File> Import> Second Life Sculptie, blender's view changes to a window for importing a file or something.... I'm totally lost here. Am I supposed to have a .tga file im actually importing?... If so where would I find this?.... Help! I'm a noob but very interested in learning this.. Thanks!
Import is for existing sculpt map .tga files, yes. You make your own when you use the bake features of the scripts, and you can save full permissions ones from SL. I'd watch a few tutorials to get a feel for how the various options the scripts add to Blender work together.
Hello
I seem to be havinga problemw itht eh script, every time I try to import the .blend file i get an error and have to check the console, i'm afraid scripting is beond my scope so have no idea how to fix it
is there anything I could be doing wrong?
I'll need much more information than that to help. If it's referring you to the console, I'll at least need a copy of the error message shown there.
