Member chrisoffner3d Posted October 18, 2016 Member Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Hey there, I'm new to 3D Coat and am currently evaluating the trial version as I'm looking for a Linux alternative to ZBrush. It seems though that I cannot type in any numbers into value fields. For example, if I choose "Resample", I can click the polygon count field but nothing happens - I cannot type a new number. The only way to change the value is to drag left and rig next to the "Density Modulation Factor" field. That's annoying but not yet a dealbreaker. Where this becomes truly problematic however is that when I right-click a shader and choose "Edit Current Objects Shader Settings", when the shader I'm editing has a default Bumpness value of 20, dragging it down and up again will only let me drag up to some internal upper limit of 10. So I can't adjust the value beyond this limit of 10 after reducing it. I'm assuming it would be possible to type in a number manually to override that limit but being only able to change values via dragging prevents that. Any idea what's up here? Cheers!

Javis Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Those things shouldn't be happening to you, they appear to be Linux bugs. Sorry to hear you're experiencing them. Definitely contact Linux support (Sergii). BTW, it's good to see you here Chris! If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Member chrisoffner3d Posted October 18, 2016 Author Member Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Will do, thank you. I do have another question. On some YouTube videos as well as on http://3dcoat.com/manual/sculpt/182-surfacetools/ I see a lot more Surface Tools listed than the mere six brushes I can find in my 3D Coat. Brushes like Rapid 2, Scratches and Scratches2, Mud and Mud2 don't seem to be included in my installation. Is there a place where I can download them?

Carlosan Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Some tools are related to sculpt mode -voxel or surface- This might help 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member chrisoffner3d Posted October 19, 2016 Author Member Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 I'm not sure what you mean? Obviously those tools are related to sculpt mode - it's just that in my Surface Tools on the left I only have Draw, Pinch, Shift, Flatten, Clay and Rapid but not Rapid 2, Scratches and Scratches2, Mud and Mud2.

Advanced Member Ballistic_Tension Posted October 19, 2016 Advanced Member Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 In the video 25secounds in you can see all the surface tools are available . That is because under VOX TREE the Layer EYE_01 is active and that layer is in SCULPT MODE it has a S not a V in front of it only then will you see all the surface tools you are missing . In the video if he where to switch to say layer Teeth upper you will Not have all surface tools there because that layer has a V which is Voxel Mode . For the field box to change the numbers are you Right clicking on it because you have to LEFT CLICK to change #. last just wondering what your machine specs are . Hope this helps some.

Member chrisoffner3d Posted October 19, 2016 Author Member Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) Never mind my question about the brushes - I now understand what you meant. Would be helpful to be able to edit/delete posts here.EDIT: Hey, now I can edit - looks like it's only possible after the fifth post. Thank you! Seems like we posted at the same time. Yes, I'm left-clicking the field. My machine is an Intel i7-3930K with an NVIDIA GTX 980 Ti and 32GB RAM. Blender, MODO, Maya, Houdini and NUKE run just fine with it on Linux, as well as ZBrush on Windows - so it shouldn't be the hardware that's holding things back here.

SERGYI Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 The user has reported that in 3D-Coat 4.7.11 text fields work. According to the video the performance decreases because the brush radius is too big (in the video the brush extends to whole screen). Navigate using smaller brush radius or use navigate buttons in the top of the viewport. Under the Windows the behaviour is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
