As Sculptris can export colors and depth buffer you can make any after effect in your favorite 3D package

I used Blender as translator...

how can I convert the model to 3ds?

sculptris allows only obj and sc1

I tried to import the obj-file with the obj-importer plugin, then su was calculating but nothing appears.

what can I do?

jo-ke · 8 Jul 2010, 13:03

I tried to do that, but the modell doesn't appear in blender.

what importpresets did you use?

"ceate scene"?

tridem · 8 Jul 2010, 13:46

Be sure there's nothing in Blender...I remember that was totally out of scale and far from axis center and for this reason (?..I believe...) hidden in Blender viewport.

jo-ke · 8 Jul 2010, 13:57

OK but when i reimported the 3ds file to su there was only the square of blender

Sorry...I'm very inexpert with Blender, I tried this way once and somehow it worked but I cannot help you further

I'm struggling with this as well. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I tried importing a Sculptris .obj into Wings3D, but it crashes every time.

You can try converting using FBXConverterUI from Autodesk, last I checked it was still available and free.

You'll have to convert from format "A", your starting format i.e. .OBJ; to .FBX and then to "B", your desired format, i.e .3DS. It works OK, but the output isn't exactly always what I wanted.

You an also try using Blender to import/export your desired format.

As far as the model not being visible, try "zoom extents" to see if it appears. Also try increasing the view distance (view > view properties > clip end (set to max, 10,000). Also, consider your model may have been put inside the box.

Thanks, I'll give your suggestions a go.

Sculptris goes to California

The mini Zbrush creator DrPetter (Sculptris) goes to Zbrush land!
And integrates the Z Team

and no news if it'll stay free or go fee...

pilou · 23 Jul 2010, 23:17

see Dr Petter words

You have yet a cool free version, no ?

Khai · 23 Jul 2010, 23:40

actually..not as such, I don't. it crashes constantly with any OBJ brought into it, from any program I use to create them.. and they are OBJ's that other programs have no issues with at all..... I was hoping there would be a fix to the OBJ support..

Maybe you don't import the good obj format

@unknownuser said:

Import OBJ - Import an existing OBJ file. Useful if you want multiple objects for sculpting, or somewhat more complex topology than a sphere. Compatibility is limited. Use single closed triangulated mesh(es) without sharp corners, and with less than 24 connections per vertex (no high-resolution spheres, unless they are geospheres)

lets see. OBJ's from Blender, UVMapper Pro, Poser, trueSpace, Wings3D, Hexagon.... I've had it crash with cubes tri'd or not tri'd.

sorry I did do my homework trying to get it to work, but so far I've had no luck with it.
