perhaps you have not downloaded the good version of Blender(2.42). On my imac g5 it run well with blender compiled with python 2.3 (and not python 2.4)

this version have a sculpt mode from sharpconstruct and a topology tool like silo, have some tools like Hx2 now i can try it, this skull was created from a cube -subd 6- i know theres a way to export the normal/displacement map but why? i have Hx2

Sadot,

Good to see you got it working.

I have been lurking around the Blender forums for a few months, but I must have missed Blender Sculpt come up as a topic. I've been collecting all this Blender stuff, and this looks like a good one to add.

I downloaded Sharp Construct stand alone version but have not had time to play with it. If Sharp Construct tools now run in Blender, it looks like Blender can be a do-it-all application, like Carrara-Hexagon

Now I have just have to install Blender and all the other stuff that I have for it and start learning.

Sadot: how is the display for a level 6? faster or slower than Hex?

infinder · 16th November 2006, 17:49

Faster!!!
Everything in blender 3D view runs faster and smoother than most other 3d programs. But hey! Hexagon is hexagon and takes the modeling at a higher level..

Stamatis

Thomas · 16th November 2006, 17:57

I have to check that ;)

sadot · 17th November 2006, 16:41

Its a little just a little faster, but when you try to rotate the model that takes more time than Hex, and as i know you only have one type of brush

So I have tried the sculpting in the latest build of the CVS. And I must say sculpting is indeed faster than Hexagon. Level 6 is smooth and even navigation is smooth. In Hexagon a level 6 sphere would bog down. Blender sculpt seems to function a lot like Silo's implementation.

Some of the features:

Smooth: smooths out the surface
Grab: grab and area to move or shift
Add: displace or pull the geometry
Sub: push in the geometry
Pinch: pinch geometry together
Use a texture to displace.
Brush strength is adjustable as is the brush size.

There are a few more interesting features, but those are the ones that I used.

pen tablet support I guess ?

Ahh. Yeah, tablet is supported as well. So far my only real issues with Blender is its lack of volumetric support and poor soft shadows.
