  The scripts are now officially called "Primstar"

• add_mesh_sculpt_mesh.py

    You can now select whether to use multires or a subsurf modifier for LOD levels

  • Oblong sculpties

    The correct sculpt map size is automatically created as per VWR-9384

  • Clean LODs

    This adjusts the UV mapping for optimal LOD handling. Even odd face counts work!

  • Seam marking

    Wrapped edges on sculpties are marked as seams

• export_lsl.py

  • Linksets

    Can be created by:

    • assigning multiple sculpt maps to the "sculptie" UV layer
    • By using parenting in Blender
  
  
  • Single LSL script

    Each linkset consists of a single LSL script plus sculpt maps and textures

    This new option in the UV Image editor creates a UV mapping assistance grid. The brighter the blue dots, the more LODs use that pixel.
