Scultped torus? Is it possible?

I've seen several sculpted models that use some sort of ring, but I've never been able to get a torus to work properly. Is it possible to use a torus to model from? If so, what's the trick? TIA!

My Blender scripts include support for torus. If you don't use Blender, you could just use it to export an obj file which would work in any sculptie maker that uses UV based baking.

Just Add - Mesh - Sculpt Mesh, set X & Y to 32, multires to 0 and pick torus as the type. Then do File - Export - Wavefront (.obj) to save the mesh for importing into another app.

Ahhh ok! I'll give that a go. Thanks!

** Edit... I'm still having the same problem. The torus exports great, but it looks like someone filled in the hole. So it's not completely hallow where it should be. I followed your directions of rendering and baking the sculpty to export in blender.

The trick is to switch the sculpted prim topology in SL from sphere to torus with a script. Drop the following script into the prim. It will switch it and remove itself leaving you with a torus sculpty.

integer SCULPT_TYPE = PRIM_SCULPT_TYPE_TORUS;
string DEFAULT_SCULPTMAP = "be293869-d0d9-0a69-5989-ad27f1946fd4"; // apple

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        string sculptTexture = DEFAULT_SCULPTMAP;
        list primType = llGetPrimitiveParams( [PRIM_TYPE] );
        if (PRIM_TYPE_SCULPT == llList2Integer(primType, 0) ) {
            sculptTexture = llList2String(primType, 1 );
        }
        llSetPrimitiveParams( [PRIM_TYPE, PRIM_TYPE_SCULPT, sculptTexture, SCULPT_TYPE] );
        llRemoveInventory(llGetScriptName());
    }

}

Or with the rc clients you can set the sculptie type in the edit box

The script worked. Thanks!
