Ok...seems there's work left to be done. Made some stuff in Rhino for testing.
A bent cube - the "I can't possibly screw this up" example
Teapot - a more complicated shape, the classic object for any 3d test
- Sculpt Map | Screenshot in Rhino | Screenshot in SL (the one on the right) (The one on the left is a torus, but it's lost its hole and split in half.)
Good luck though. Elle Pollack 20:06, 7 May 2007 (PDT)
Oh, thanks for the Bug Report. Seems like i should get a Demo of Rhino, too, to do more testing. So far, my Converter can only handle a single Object (i will change that, but each Object will result in another Sculptmap). Another Limit : the Object needs perfect UV Coordinates.--Cindy Crabgrass 21:13, 7 May 2007 (PDT)
