Blender Sculpt Mac OSX

[3ddd]

Hi all users of Blender

Plaese can anyone help.

I have tried several times to get any version of Blender Sculpt for Mac OSX and also have tried to get the Scupting Plugin Esspresso to work in blender Mac OSX version.

i have downloaded and installed Python 2.4 for Mav OSX, and even though that in both the Blender sculpt and Esspresso the tools are there apart from the Esspresso script the tools try to load but only get to the stage wher you click on the brush tool for the mesh then you can see in the 3D view that the Semi tranparent tools try to load but fail.

With the pre-built versions of Blender sculpt for Mac the program loads OK and the sculpting menus are there, but when i try to left click on the mesh nothing happens even though i can see the brush tying to do something on the surface.

I ahve had no trouble atall with the Windows version of both Blender sculpt and The esspresso sculpt script.

I am trying to use the Mac scuplting versions on a Mac Powerbookl laptop running Mac OXS 10.3.9 Panther with Python 2.4 installed.

Please could you tell me do i have to fire up python on the mack to get things working as all i have done is install python, or am i missing something or completely doing something wrong.

many thanks

Sculpt just doesnt work. The brusher dont do anything.

Same here. Sculpt is unuseable in the Mac OS X version of Blender 2.44.

It does work in a custom intel build I made the other day however.

I have also noticed that the drag and pull in the number windows doesnt work. Let me explain or you probably will not understand what I mean.
(sorry still very new to blender)

Lets say I want to make some particles and need to change the amount
of them. Usually you can left click in the box and then drag to the left or to
the right and it changes the amount. Nothing happens for me. This isnt
to much of a problem but I thought that it maby had to do something
with the the sculpt not working.

Please keep us updated if anything new comes up!!!

Jippiiiiii.... version 2.45 fixed my problem... it now works like a charm!

Sculpt mode has been working great for me since it was only available on Blenderbuilds.com in intermediate builds. I have an Intel Mac, however.

The same Problem is with me:

Newest OSX with all Update, Blender 2.45,
Mbp Santa Rosa, Geforce 8600 Gt moblile
Wacom Intuos 3

When starting via the terminal, there are no errors in the terminal output, but sculpting doesn't work, with tablet, or mouse.
