Installation
Please see the readme.txt in the download for latest install information
System Requirements
0.5.x
Blender 2.46 or later
0.9.x
Python - The version should match the one Blender uses.
Python tkInter - normally included with Python, but some Linux distributions have it as a separate package.
0.5.x Installation
copy the .py files to your Blender scripts directory as listed below.
Linux: ~/.blender/scripts Mac: /Applications/blender/blender.app/Contents/MacOS/.blender/scripts/ Windows XP: c:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\.blender\scripts Windows Vista: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\.blender\scripts
Note: The exact directory may change depending on options chosen during the Blender install and the Blender version, but should be something like the ones listed. Mac users may need to enable viewing all files to find the correct folder.
If you can't find your scripts directory, then create a new text in Blender and paste the following code into it:
import Blender
print Blender.Get('scriptsdir')
If you press alt-p ( File - Run Python Script ) then the correct directory to install the scripts will be printed on the console.
Checking Install
Run Blender and in the "File - Import" menu you should see a new option for 'Second Life Sculptie'
If the option is missing, select the scripts window and use "Scripts - Update Menus" to refresh the menus.

thx , it workin by add the primstar_1.0.0 folder in the scripts folder , then runing the( install.py )by the python command line
Hi, Domino. You should not write : copy the .py files to your Blender scripts directory as listed below. but : copy the Primstar folder to your Blender scripts directory as listed below. First I copied all py files and claimed "not found Primstar" by blender console. So I thought I have to rename some file to that.
You need to see the readme.txt included in the zip for the 1.0.0 and 0.9.x install instructions. I've not updated the website fully yet.
I did evyrything as you said, even the Update Menu and nothing. No Second Life option menu. As i see, I am not the only one. Can you advise something useful or repair it at last, pls?
I have the same problem as the previous writer. I am unable to find a .blender folder and windows XP will not allow me to create one. I tried the suggestion with copying the text into the text editor and pressing alt-p but this only throw up a python error
any clues?
You may need to "show hidden folders" on your computer to see a .blender folder. Just click on the window icon on the bottom left of your screen and click on the "Help and Support" button. In the help window do a search for, "Show Hidden Folders." You will then get instructions on how to show hidden folders on your computer. On Vista, for example, the "AppData" directory is often hidden in the Users specific folder but Showing Hidden Folders allows you to view it and you then get to see the ".blender" folder and the "scripts" folder. Hope this helps you on XP, but this will probablyt help a great deal of people on Vista. If that does not work after you have enabled hidden folders to be viewed you may want to do a search for, "Blender Foundation" in the windows explorer on the C:/ drive of your computer. Blender may have installed in a different file path then what is listed on this website. You can then see the different file paths blender is at on your computer and try them all to see if you get to a .blender folder. Good Luck!!!
I have a hard time , creating the requiered directories
in
C:\Programme\Blender Foundation\Blender
since it won't let me create, .Blender subfolder
any ideas ?
hi
ive installed everything according to the instructions on this site (altough i havent read through the entire site lol) ive even reinstalled both blender and python( i run blender 2.49a and phyton 2 6 4 on vista 32) and heres my problem:
I see the import/export options to SL so that works but when i want to create a sculptie i dont get the same interface as shown in your tutorial i only get blenders default one wich is harder to understand for a newbie like me....so uhh what do i do??
I've started updating the manual on the site for Primstar 0.9.x (soon to be the stable 1.0.0 release). If you are just getting the older Blender based interface, you have the 0.5.0 scripts. If you get Primstar 0.9.28 then it will look like the Add Mesh documentation, the other parts of the manual are still based on the 0.5.0 series. Confusing I know, but hopefully all sections will be up to date in the next few weeks.
hi , I can't create the subdirectory .blender, in c:\programme\blender foundation\
any suggestions ???
