Try this: http://3d-coat.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=17814 I hope this answers your question.

Thanks Andrew. I hope that your vacation went well. Have a nice day, P. Monk

O.K. I'm confused. I just installed 3.5.23 for WinXP 64 version with CUDA but I can't seem to find Live Clay. I'm in Voxels, I switch to surface mode and I don't see an option for Live Clay. Is there a special version for Live Clay or am I doing something wrong? Thanks for all help in advance. P. Monk

My monkey is an uncle too. Thanks for testing.

Cool....did you post this a Blender Artists?

If this has been posted elsewhere please forgive me, I did look around. It seems Farsthary has been busy with Live Clay. P. Monk

Thank you for responding. I see from the previous page that you are happy with the suggestions made by Andrew. I don't use a Mac and after reading michalis response I became concerned that Mac users are being forced into situation where they are perpetually seeking a stable release. P. Monk

Shiny!!!

I have been using 3DC for over 3 years now and in that time, as far as I was told, the most recent stable download is to be found at http://www.3d-coat.com/, if something has changed, I missed the memo. I guess we need clarification from Andrew. The thing that I don't understand and I'll ask you jwiede, do you have a stable version on your machine? You are using a Mac correct? P. Monk

If 3DC 3.5 doesn't work on your machine, then I would say yes you have a legitimate complaint. If Andrew is advising you to use a Beta version for production then we all have a problem. If however you have had a bug free version working on your machine and you are still using the newest Beta, then I say welcome to Beta testing. As for Blender, 2.49b is the last stable release. If you are using 2.5 or higher then you are Beta testing. If so, I'm guessing it is to avail yourself to the latest features. P. Monk

Face meet palm! I am so darned stupid!! Thank you for helping me see the light. P. Monk

Cool!!! Where do you find the percentages? Or are you measuring? P. Monk

QFA Plus you then expose testers to complaints, "How could you &$&*#so's not have caught this. It &*$(@& to my hard drive", and what not.

QFA Now if that progress bar would just hurry up .....Woo...I think it just moved a little. LOL P. Monk

Sorry Giuseppe, I didn't see your post before responding to kay_Eva. So I guess that you find messiah superior to Blender for animation. Cool! I didn't screw up. P. Monk

I have been waiting patiently for BA to come back online to ask the same question. Hopefully they will be up and running shortly. I haven't tried pmG"s forum, there may be help there. Albeit slightly prejudiced, I'm guessing. In the end I decided to buy because an applink already exists and the renders in the gallery look pretty good. Oh, and I had $40.00 in my pocket that was desperately trying to escape. P. Monk

While I agree most wholeheartedly on the price, it's really more about the time invested in one software as opposed to the time necessary to learning a new one, don't you think? If kay-Eva has little time invested in animation in Blender, as I don't, it may be a good investment. If she has spent many hours learning to animate in Blender then may be not so much. Don't you think? P. Monk

I'm sorry that I find myself in disagreement with you. To your first point: As far as what Michalis is saying is that Michalis doesn't understand what Beta testing is. I'm sorry if Michalis finds this statement offensive as that is not my intent. He appears to be using the Betas as updates, which they are not. If he is using them in production he is being foolish. You are correct 3DC is in a perpetual Beta stage but only if you choose to partake in it. The Betas aren't official releases. Choosing to participate is purely voluntary. I will grant to you the fact that many here participating don't seem to understand the concept of volunteering a little time to help improve the product in exchange for availing oneself to the cutting edge in features. In order to alleviate the "line blurring" all that is required is to place a disclaimer on the download page explaining what it is that you are downloading and that you are doing so at your own risk. As far as Alpha testers go, I would argue against those as well as it merely slow down the process. For example, say you have 2 Alpha testers for each operating system, Andrew would have to take the time to notify them, I guess through e-mail, then wait. What if they are away or doing something more important? He waits some more. Where as the way it works now he receives almost instant feedback. To your second point: While I find it commendable that you are looking for the welfare of our intrepid leader, I think that he is highly capable of that on his own. He is a grown man after all. Thirdly your analogy: So sorry for you. Okay a joke.(I served as a jar-head.) As to the rest, I think your analogy is incorrect. I believe a better analogy would be....Beta testing is a mine field, if you choose to disarm these mines, go forth with the full knowledge the your commander is steadfastly behind you. If you should encounter any mines, report back and he'll send send help as it becomes available. Lastly: If Andrew at any time feels the need for rest, I doubt anyone who has used 3DC for even so little time as a week,would begrudge him time off. Best intentions, P. Monk

Ditto that. No movement when I ordered either. Just kidding. I'm not sad. I'm excited. It's like gambling on E-bay. This marketing may not be brilliant but I'll say semi-brilliant. This appears to be a takeoff of the viral marketing system developed by Groupon. I have been waiting for someone to improvise the Groupon viral marketing idea for their own use. It appears to me that pmG has done it.

Oye Farsthary, Bienvenidos y felicidades!! Tengo una pregunta? Esta viviendo en Cuba todovia o se mudo? Bueno, posiblemente estoy un poco intruso. P. Monk

@ Digital777 your suggestions appear to me to be spot on. Thank you for taking the time. P. Monk

You are an amazing person Kalle-Samuli Riihikoski. Thank you. I have a question though regarding applinks in general. I, being a modo user as well as a Blender user, after using your Applink have a dream that those two apps might share this same type of synergy. In your opinion do you think that this is something possible or just a pipe dream? I ask this question in a theoretical sense, not in a definitive or suggestive sense. Thanks again for your time and effort in this project, P. Monk

Bookmarked.....Thanks, the photos are awesomely inspirational. P. Monk

Great to hear Brendon. You and haikalle are the MEN! Thank you both for all you're hard work. P. Monk

+1.....I couldn't agree more! An easy way to create and recall brush presets is very much needed.
