nice attempt to squeeze money out of people!

you even kept the donation button now that its not for free anymore!

thumbs up!!!

(well i hope this project dies as soon as possible)

ps.: your complaining about the lack of donations: well ask yourself would you donate for a bunch of scripts that doesnt work for most of the people? a site thats absolutely unstructured and chaoticwith no concept at all and a bad support? GUESS NOT!

I rather pay for "real" software and not for crap like this

Primstar for Blender 2.49b is still available freely, and that's what the donation button is for..

I could spend my time developing the website, or developing Primstar 2 - everyone except you so far has expressed a preference for me spending my time on Primstar 2. The machinimatrix site is better organised and that's the official support site for Primstar 2.

The "if I can't have it, then no one should" attitude is a little childish don't you think?

As far as "not working for most of the people", that's not what the feedback I get suggests. The majority of users are very happy with Primstar.

I'm not squeezing anyone for money. If someone sees value in Primstar 2 they will buy it. If they don't think it's worth it they won't. If they think they are entitled to get it for free and not support the development, then they will complain loudly and insult the development team.

Guess which group are happily creating sculpties now?

Hi. I'm using blender 2.49b with the primstar scripts v1.0. When I import a sculpt, the menu to select stitching type doesn't appear. Is it possible to activate it or something?

Thanks.

The stitching type is automatically detected from the sculpt map. If you need to change the type (as some maps don't have accurate seams!) then create a new sculptie with the correct type and use Mesh - Scripts - Update from Sculptie to set the shape to the sculpt map.

The first was "pay if you can afford to" - unfortunately not every one that could afford to did donate.

Charging for Primstar 2 was the only way I could afford to develop it. So now it's pay if you get from me, or find a friend who is willing to share their copy with you. Primstar 2 is still GPL 2 license, so they can do that legally. Whether they will be willing to let you skip supporting the development or not is another matter. Friends will know your circumstances and be able to judge whether you could afford it or really need their help.

Given your attitude though, I'd hope they decide not and you do as you suggested and move on to other software - I like happy Primstar users not grumpy ones!

If it wasn't for you, no one would be uploading sculpties with blender, so I applaud you. I think you did something that you didn't have to do, and instead, you could've kept it to yourself, and done a monopoly in SL. However, the reason I am here, is because I'm dee-de-dee on how to get the primstar v1 to work for me in Blender 2.49b. If you can help, please do. I can't even find what file format a design is supposed to be saved under. If it helps, I am running Ubuntu 10, so if you're still using ubuntu, then this should be a cinch.

Thanks,

Xeger

Hi, first of all: Thanks for your work on primstar and on the script to add Blender to SL creators' toolchain.

And now the nasty stuff... I checked out primstar using the git repository and the same applies to the ZIP file I found on these pages here. Both file piles contain a copy of the GPL, i.e. "gpl-2.0.txt". On region Jass however, they sell a "primstar 1.1.0" as part of their "Jass-Magic-1.0", for instance. Is that version 1.1.0 still a GPL project? And what about the new v2?

I apologize in advance if there is some licence info somewhere in your blog that I failed to find. Smile

Thanks in advance for any bit of information,

Best regards, ofto

Hi! I just installed blender 2.57 but Primstar doesn't work. Is it possible that this version is incompatible with Primstar? Or am I installing it wrong?
Thanks
