--
-- This is a MAXScript written for 3ds Max 9.  It might work for earlier versions of 3ds Max,
-- but this has not been tested.  It does not work for Max5.
--
-- The script generates a Second Life sculptie texture from the selected object.
--
-- Revision History
-- ====================
-- 0.2 First released version
-- 0.2.1 Added proportional
-- 0.2.2 Fixed rotation issues
--
-- 0.3      Shifted bitmap by 1 pixel in X and Y.  changed defaults "NO SMOOTH" 128x128
--          no longer have to move the top and bottom vertices when you create the object.
--
-- 0.3.1 added x:, y:, and z: display boxes, so that you can know what dimensions to use
-- on your prim if you have the proportional feature turned off
--
-- 0.4 a) sculptmap now matches the 3dsMax UV map.
-- You should now be able to bake textures using the UV map and they
-- should line up with the sculptie in SL. NOTE: because I now use the UV map, if
-- your sculptie looks inside out, then your UV map is probably wrong.
-- b) only one vertex is used in the top and bottom row of the cylinder.  The vertices
-- used are the top and bottom vertices on the seam of the UV map,
-- i.e., the vertices at the top left and bottom left of the UV map.
-- c) sculptmap now has one more row of data.  The cylinder should be 32x32.
-- sculptmap conforms to http://forums.secondlife.com/showpost.php?p=1522861
-- d) smooth feature removed.  wasn't helpful.
-- e) 32x32 option removed.  64x64 is the lowest resolution sculptmap supported.
-- I might change this later, but it needs work to support 32x32 properly.
-- f) now supports a NURBS cylinder. See description below.
-- 0.4.1 a) fixed bug with UV map. Now handles UV maps correctly that have more vertices than are
-- in the mesh.
-- b) Poly sphere 32x32 supported.
-- c) NURBS Sphere 32x32 supported.
-- d) added drop down to allow you to change the uv map channel that is used.
-- *** CREATING THE POLY/MESH OBJECT ***
-- The script assumes a specific topology for the object.  You **CANNOT** use the script on
-- an arbitrary mesh.
--
-- Create the following object as a starting point:
-- 1) create a cylinder with 32 height segments and 32 side segments
-- 2) Apply an Edit Mesh modifier
-- 3) delete the vertex in the top and the vertex in the bottom
--
-- Now, you can move the vertices any way that you like.
--
-- When you're done, make sure that the object is selected and generate the texture.
--
-- NOTE: as of Version 0.4.1, you can also use a sphere. You need a 32x32 poly or mesh sphere.
-- The easiest way to create this is to follow the directions for the NURBS sphere
--      and then convert to mesh or poly.
-- *** CREATING THE NURBS OBJECT ***
-- As of Version 0.4, you can also use a NURBS cylinder as your starting object.
-- As of Version 0.4.1, you can use a NURBS Sphere.
--
-- 1) Create a cylinder or sphere
-- 2) Convert to NURBS
-- 3) If cylinder (skip for sphere), expand the "NURBS Surface" modifier and select "Surface" under it.
-- Select and delete the top and bottom of the cylinder.
-- 3) Go back to "NURBS Surface".
-- In the NURBS "Surface Approximation" Rollout, select Tessellation Method "Regular"
-- and set U Steps and V Steps to 32.
-- Now, you can NURB away.  Hint: Select NURBS Surface>Surface CV to see control vertices
-- When you're done, make sure that the object is selected and generate the texture.
-- *** SCRIPT INSTALLATION ***
-- MAXScript>Run Script...
-- in the dialog, select the script and press Open.
-- Customize>Customize User Interface...
-- click on the Toolbars tab. Select Category "SecondLife".  Drag SculptGenMax to one of the
-- toolbars.
--
-- *** RUNNING THE SCRIPT ***
-- Install script
-- Create object, modify it as desired, and select it.
-- Press SculptGenMax in the toolbar where you installed it.
-- A dialog will pop up.  Select desired bitmap resolution.  Then on the dialog's menu bar,
-- File>Generate Sculpt Texture
-- this will generate the texture in the dialog.
-- File>Save as..
-- to save the texture to a file.
--
-- *** UNINSTALLING THE SCRIPT ***
-- Right click on the SculptGenMax button in the toolbar and select "Delete Button".
-- Find the file "SecondLife-SculptGenMax.mcr" and delete it.
-- Restart 3ds Max

Description

SculptGenMax is a lightweight script that allows users to create sculptie prims in 3ds Max and export them to Second Life.

Current Version

SculptGenMax will no longer be released as a standalone product.

It is now a part of Prim Composer.

Prim Composer is complete offline building environment for Second Life and OpenSim. Build in 3ds Max; Deploy to either Second Life or OpenSim. Both prims and sculpties supported.

Features

  • Roundtrip workflow from 3ds Max to Second Life and back
  • Load sculptmaps from disk to import sculpties into 3ds Max
  • Create sculpties in 3ds Max and export them to Second Life
  • All sculptmap topologies supported: sphere, torus, plane, and cylinder
  • Editable Poly, Editable Mesh, and NURBS supported
  • Preserves UV Mapping — Baked textures work seamlessly
