Heyla, all!

Now that I've discovered, purely by accident as I was searching for a polygon reduction tool for another project, that trueSpace is not only now being offered for free, but also supports texture baking, which seems important to making sculpt maps, I've downloaded and installed both it and its video training videos. However, I'm still not quite sure exactly how one goes about using the program's texture baking features to make a sculpt map. I tried looking in the Wiki, and I've either been looking in the wrong places, or it isn't there, because I haven't found my answer. So my question is this: How DOES one go about using texture baking to make sculpts with trueSpace?

Thank you for our help,
KeeperS Karu

I don't know the answer to your question, but there is a forum for trueSpace, it might be worth starting a thread about sculpties there. The url is http://forums1.caligari.com/truespace/index.php?Cate=Forums
