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 When the manual is completed, I will be deleting any comments on these pages that become outdated.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).

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.
the error is as follows

Thank you for the help and I'm sorry about the typo in my lastpost
I didnt know which bit was the error in the console so I typed it all up
So you are trying to import a .DDS file as a sculptie? .DDS files are a special compressed format that graphics cards can support directly. It's a lossy format so it's really not suitable for sculpt maps. It's only normally used for textures. You can't just import any image as a sculptie, that's for existing sculpt maps which would normally be one of the types that you can upload to Second Life. .tga is the one I normally use.
