Blender Sculpt Maps from scratch producing strange results

[Maff Constantine]

Good morning all,

After using various scripts (which are great) I decided to work from scratch and set blender up to build the UV maps using generated textures.

 

I have followed the following two websites:

masterprim.com/blender-modeling/sculpted-prim-blender/how-to-create-sculpty-material-blender.php

https://sites.google.com/site/amandalevitsky/sculptedprims

 I can create a UV Map that looks correct but when I upload it to SL is distorts!

Curiously, if I download the example from Amanda's page that uploads correctly.

 

Following the examples and producing an ordinary cylinder with no caps and then baking the textures

 

The above image is created by me and produces this - definately not a cylinder!

Where as if I use Amanda's example file I get perfect results!

I'm hoping that one of you fine people will be able to spot what's going on and point me in the right direction. I really thought I had this nailed!

Thanks in advance

Maff

Use primstar in blender

See: http://blog.machinimatrix.org/3d-creation/video-tutorials/

I know I can use Primstar, I'm just trying to do things from scratch. It gives me a better understanding.

Solved!

When I was saving images I needed to choose "Save As Render" which seems to ensuire things work!

Now I have to work out why!

I'm glad you got the problem solved.  I just wanted to add one thing.  You used the term "UV maps" several times, when it appears what you actually meant to say was "sculpt maps".  There's a big difference there.

[Maff Constantine]

Yes, of course. I did mean sculpt maps - I knew what I meant really!

 

Next challenge is to follow the Blender 2.4 YouTube vids and convert them to 2.6 for texturising the sculpties.
