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

how can I convert the model to 3ds?

sculptris allows only obj and sc1

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

@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.

Damn, I definitely need to improve my skills in Sculptris ...

I saw this thread this morning so downloaded Sculptris, watched a couple of Vids and after mucking about for a while I produced this.

Very nice program.

I guess now I should learn about rendering.

Got a link to the vids?

I just went to the forum for sculptris and found the first sticky with what seemed relevant to getting started.
The links are in the thread.

Very helpful tutorial, I have been using it without watching any tutorial (as I never found one)

Expect brilliant models...I'm energized.

This is the fourth model I have done with the program Sculptris. The first two (fairly complex) are still cooking in the oven.
