Thanks guys! :)
Man that would be cool to be able to export a SVG file from Sculpture Generator.

Mahvin the STL files wouldn't open correctly in Blender.I was able to open them in MiniMagic but after exporting to PDF when you open the PDF image it has those x, y, and z coordinate lines on the image.So that's no good.And there isn't any way to turn those off in MiniMagic sooo..

I tried MeshLab, the STL files wouldn't even open.Says the file stops or quits too soon?It acts like all the STL code isn't there or something.Anyway they are not readable in that program.

This is all kind of strange.MiniMagic can read the STL files out of Sculpture Generator, but MeshLab which is supposed to open all STL files can not even read them. :lol

Does anyone know of a way to convert STL to SVG?

Rod, you need to tangle some fish in those. They're like beautiful fishing nets.

Here is a cool program.I was searching the web for a freeware or opensource STL viewer and found this player.

You can create multishots with your files and make GIF animations.
Pretty sweet :)

Here is the same animation with a gradient map. :)
Could have used a better gradient color probably.

Same one I downloaded a while back; didn't really play much with it though. Still would be cool to be able to port the graphic straight from Sculpture Generator though but using a 3rd party program is the next best thing. Like your animated results too by the way Rod. :)

Lyle with this program you can save the STL as a multishot and just save one of the multis as your image.
All the GIF files i created come from 90 jpg images at 1024x768 pixels.
Then i opened them in Gimp and saved as a GIF at a smaller image scale.
I found out later that you can save these multishots at any custom size you want. :)

Image

So you could save 1 at 1920x1080 which is pretty good size.

The trick is to save with a solid colored bg and do an color to alpha.If you want the model to have a transparent bg.

You may need more dependencies Mahvin.

For compiling GLC_Player 2.3, first install QT4.6 or Qt4.7 and GLC_lib 2.2. Then go to the intallation directory and run these commands.

qmake
make release

Sculpture Generator + GLC Player = Very many (different) possibilities of fun.
Thanks again Rod for all your great contributions !

Post subject:  Re: Sculptures

Dependencies were all met. It's a PATH problem.

Thanks MareroQ.
It is great fun to play around with both. :)

That is too bad Mahvin.Were you able to get the path set correctly?
I was hoping to see some of your results. :(
