I finally figured out how to get the sphere to a map needed to upload into SL for the sculpty using Wings, but now I've stumbled across the problem of a cube. I desperately need a cube for a design I'm trying but I tried making the cube 32 x 33 and it still is an unsupported mesh size.

I've read that obj2sculptie might work. So has anyone tried this and it worked? I had to mess with wings sooo much to get it to work I really don't want to download something else and it not work lol. So if someone can let me know if it does or does not work I'd appreciate it.

Hi Apple,

If you're using the Wings convertor then you can't use ZBrush's shapes.

;) I know, that's why I'm wondering if obj2scultpy will convert cubes.

I tried it once and it failed. But I may have been unlucky. Give it a go why don't ya?!. There's nothing to lose! :)

Let me know how you get on...

You could import and bake the map in blender, but you have to be pretty familar with a few
different processes not to mention blender itself.

A much easier method is to save your Z prim object on a relatively low poly number level
just enough to preserve your desired shape.

And use AC3D to export as a sculpt map. They have a 14 day fully functioning trial after that
it is 80$.

I tried it with a number of different primitive shapes and it appears you can import any shape from Z, not all would be easily converted to Sculpties, but cubes were no problem

I have no official connection to the company, just impressed by their exporter.
