Business: Illusions: Masks and Unique Accessories | I use my student copy of Maya, with the script they provided on the wiki. I think if you download sculpty paint or pretty much any other free, sculpt supported program that can import an object you'll be just dandy. ![]() They say they're working on a way to export it, in fact, I think a zscript does exist but it's impractically complicated so it's not really talked about much. But yeah, just use something like milkshape or Wings.

| Senior Member ![]() ![]() | I am thinking about getting Zbrush as well (right now I'm using mostly Wings and Archipelis). I understand the idea behind importing an object file to Wings, but are there "pre made" starter objects with the right number of vertices for Zbrush? If so, where can I find them? I think this weekend, I may "go geek" with the free trial: so in general I'm looking for tutorial suggestions. The Shiny Life ones look like a good start, are there any others you zBrushers could recommend?

Shiny Life Video: Creating Sculpted Prims with ZBrush 3 | Shiny Life There is a link in the article to a free program that converts the obj file from zbrush to a sculpt map without needing anything else. It works great. The tutorial teaches you how to set the sphere in zbrush to have the right number of faces for SL. | |

My Mood: | Just a sidenote, I went to try Zbrush they have a trial you can get. I was so excited to try it, I read all about the cool features and it's at a reasonable price for my budget. It wouldn't work, I contacted support and apparently on a handful of Vista machines it's a no go at this time. The fact I can not try it makes me want to try it more than ever.

*yawn*
| I use Wings3D - export the ZTool to obj, import that into Wings, export into sculpt map. The exporter script and some templates can be downloaded from here: Wings 3D - Second Life Wiki |

| Account Closed | 2k Suisei wrote a converter for ZBrush2 and ZBrush3. SL Forums Just another option for you. There's another converter (command line windows app) on the forum somewhere that converts obj files, but I can't find it now. It's been a while since I explored all this stuff. |
