Now that you have explained it, I have to agree with primorge, because I have run into that problem before with Sculptris. Before I imported the cylinder, I connected the vertices at the caps like he showed in the pics above. You may need a 3D modeling program to accomplish this. There are several that are free if you do a search. Most of them work in quads (4 points/squares), and Sculptris works with tris, but you can still import them.

He/She didn't explain anything. He/She didn't know that the notification from sculptris was indicating that it couldn't import a high valence vertex. Not "too many vertices" as stated a couple times as the problem.

The problem is too many edges converging to a single vertice.

The Poser cylinder's cap is a convergence of 30 edges to a single vertex. Sculptris only accepts 24.

"Before I imported the cylinder, I connected the vertices at the caps like he showed in the pics above."

I didn't connect any vertices in the cap, I subdivided a cube, lengthened it, and flattened Y axis the ends. I did however add edge loops to the length just to give it more polys. I wouldn't bother performing such a surgery on the cylinder primitive when I can make a topologically better one in about 6 minutes.

Just clarifying the facts. Especially since OP hasn't responded to the actual solution, including a solution file, to a problem he posted on the Poser Forum and had thus far not received a solution. It's 3d modeling 101 that's clear as day by the notification from sculptris.

I do parties.

Yeah, I used a cylinder. And you're right, they never came back after that response. But seeing that screen cap with the error, I knew what was happening.

If I had a nickle for ever time a woman told me to get lost, I could buy Manhattan.
