Releases for Primstar - Blender Scripts for Second Life Sculpties

Workaround for loop cut issue built into the bake routine. You no longer need to do the snap to pixels to avoid this problem.

New menu option "Object - Scripts - Reset Sculpt Mesh" added - this resets the mesh to the data in it's sculpt map.

UV points no longer snap to pixels when Clean LODs is off

Clean LODS option was sometimes disabled when it shouldn't be - fixed 

Minor fix to allow 8192 pixel sculpt maps to be created from add sculpt mesh and sculptify. eg 23 x 11 with 1 level of subdivision and Clean LODs off. This used to work, but got broken during the implementation of sculptify due to a silly mistake on my part - I'd set the pixel limit at 4096. So all the 'organic' map sizes should work again now (64 x 128, 32 x 256, 16 x 512) with the correct maximum size of 8192 pixels.

Just a small update this time. I found a minor bug in finalise which affected torus seam finding.

There's good news for 64 bit Windows users as well. I've got a few confirmed reports that the 32 bit Windows version of Blender will work correctly with the latest Primstar 0.9.x releases on Vista 64 and Windows 7.

Remember how I said the 0.9.x series was feature complete? Well thanks to Gaia Clary sending me a modified version of her nurbs to sculptie script, we've got another new feature.

There's a new option Object - Scripts - Sculptify Object which while still under development in the nurbs branch of git, I thought worth merging to a 0.9.24 release.

It will convert a nurbs object to a mesh, create a UV unwrapping, add a sculpt map image (if the script can work out the size), so basically you are then ready to bake.

Temporary "Object" library maps removed.

Mac test fix didn't work, removed.

Fix for image based alpha protection, no longer requires same sized image as sculpt map.

version.py added to avoid confusing commits for version changes.

All known baking problems introduced with the joined mesh support are fixed.

This is the closest to a tested stable release the 0.9.x series has been. If anything at all seems wrong, please report it so I can clear the way for a stable release.

Added graphics to builder. Fixed a few issues in LSL export that prevented it running.

    LSL fixes and cleaner names for export

Added Primstar theme installer. This is the theme I use for the Primstar screenshots. It's available under the Scripts Window in scripts - Themes - Primstar. You can save your default blend file if you want this theme to always appear in user preferences, or just run the script when needed.

Warning lights have been made theme safe, so the fields shouldn't just go black anymore.

Fix for popup menu cancelling.

Render - Bake Second Life Sculpties renamed to Render - Bake Sculpt Meshes and updated to the new tkinter GUI.

I've still some work to do on error reporting (such as no sculpt meshes selected), but otherwise everything should work.
