Sculptris

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

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

what importpresets did you use?

"ceate scene"?

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.

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

tridem

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

see Dr Petter words

You have yet a cool free version, no ?

Khai

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

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.
