Hi

I have read numerous excellent tutorials (in both the forums and in web based tutorials) about making sculpty map textures in blender.

My question is can someone please help me with the reverse process? Ie creating an object in blender from a sculpty texture i have made. I forgot to save it as an object so now only have the texture with the rainbow colours.

I assume this must be possible?

As long as you have the Domino scripts installed, it's extremely easy.

File > Import > Second Life Sculptie

Select the texture and choose Import, then choose the stitching type you used when you created it, and hit OK. Voila, all done!

Hmm..you should be able to simply select it and press TAB to enter Edit mode(Or use the drop down), I do believe. I know that I'm able to.

Just make sure it's selected is all I can think of =/
