I know it’s not as fancy, but consider using StoneVox 3D if your wand continues to explode. It’s what I used to make the armour, and as far as I’m aware, it should still work. Of course, if you’re less lazy than I am, you’ll probably want to sleuth out the issue in Qubicle Constructor, but if you really want to get your mod out there, you can take the shortcut with SV.
Glad to have another hands on modder on board.
