Man I dont know why but when now I create a sculpt as you do by scaling the polygon to "separate" 2 blocks, it jerks off it's not planar anymore, but like all wrong I dont know... maybe I could send you some screenshots and you could lend me a hand ?

@omgwhatastupid I can certainly try, but no guarantees. Send me a message.

It does not go by me it come ha error message Phyton Script Error Check console. and in that console stay that message File string, line1, in module

File C:\Programme\Blender Foundation\blender-2.49b-windo­ws\scripts\primstar\add_mesh_s­culpt_mesh.py, line 48, in module from primstart import sculpty ImportError: No Module named prmistart

wtf is wrong?

@TramFahrerGTASAMP

Make sure that when you copy the files to your scripts folder, ONLY copy the Primstar folder, not the extra individual files. Also, make sure your version of Python is the right one. For Blender 2.49b (Which works now, the video is outdated) it's Python 2.6, not the current 2.7. (At least for windows. For MAC it's 2.3 or 2.5, and for Linux it's 2.5 or 2.6)

2.49a is no longer available, what now? how do i tweak 2.49b to get it to work

[BlenderSL]

@rockytandy2 2.49a IS actually still available, it just takes a little more looking to find it. On the Blender homepage, click download. Then, on that page, click 'Older Versions' (In the toolbar just below 'Get Blender' splash). Follow the link to the archive, and find 'Blender2.49a'. The last menu shows all the files, and you can find your OS' version in this list.

I am glad this all looks so easy on your end, when you get to python "just go ahead and install that" Yeah... Install it how? Unpacking python 26 to the c drive obviously is not enough of an install for blender as it balks in the console, no installed python found. the next version of python (27) has an install, but blender does not like that version installed either.

i cant download the scripts :(

[MrChantelleA]

I don't know if this is helpful to anyone or not, but I kept getting the script error, THEN I discovered it was because, instead of dragging the primstar folder into scripts, I dragged the contents. Going back, putting the contents into the primstar folder again, and dragging that in made it work.

i know that was a silly error, but I thought I'd share because it's amazing to me how such small errors cause big problems, like I downloaded 3 versions of python because I was so confused LOL
