I followed a blog about making sculpties in Wings 3D. The mesh size for a sphere had to be 32x31 for the exporter to SL to work. I cna do fine, bu then at a certain step when I triy to extrude a face, Wings renumbers it to a face # outside the 32x31 range. Then when I try to export to SL format it says it's an invalid size.
Is there a way around this?
Wings is one great program and I could really do smoe powerful scultping but it looks like bringing it to SL might be a problem.

Well here's the other thing. I tried taking the lower third of a sphere and used the "intrude" action to collapse the section into the upper remaining sphere, leavin it "hollow" in the upper part. The SL exporter complains about the mesh size also.

The only things you can do in wings3d are move, scale, rotate, and flatten. If you use any other method it changes the number of vertices and it won't export. You can do quite a lot with those few methods.

Ok, I'll mess around with those functions instead. Though I know I won't be able to do all the cool things I wanted. Thanks for everyones help!

From: Serenarra Trilling The only things you can do in wings3d are move, scale, rotate, and flatten. That's a good basic set of commands, with all their variations. But it isn't exhaustive. Once you've got some familiarity with those, don't overlook: * Vertex mode: ** Tighten ** Deform ** Bend / Bend Clamped ** Shift * Edge mode: ** Slide ** Intersect * All modes: ** Absolute (in particular, Snap) * Tweak (under the Tools menu) And make sure you've enabled Advanced Menus (a check box on the Edit/Preferences/Advanced dialog). |
