SculptGenMax
Overview
Here's a 3ds Max 9 script to create sculptie textures.
The forum thread for this is here.
NOTE: I'm not saying that this is a better way to do it. If you are using a method that bakes textures and it's working for you, there is no reason to try this.
This algorithm generates the texture from the vertices. In contrast to most baking methods which generate the texture from the faces. It's not clear to me yet if one method is better than the other.
Anyway, instructions are in the script. It will *not* work on an arbitrary mesh. To simplify things, I used a particular cylinder or sphere mesh as my starting point. Instructions for creating the mesh are in the script.
Feel free to modify it for your own personal use and post bugs and fixes in the forum thread or the comments section below.
