3DCoat AppLink description


Recommended Posts

Hi Andrew,

I'm updating Maya Applink to latest specification. I didn't get several things in doc1.3. Could you clarify?

Update 1.2:

Import.txt may have additional options in additional lines of the file.

// Should it be a path to the folder with ALL textures? Will 3d coat automatically understand textures extension?

[TexOutput:… texture path there…] allows to specify textures output path. It should end with “\” or “/”

// is it just a binary flags like "Do i want to export 'color' texture from App to 3dcoat?"

ExportColor=(0|1)

ExportSpecular = (0|1)

ExportNormalmap = (0|1)

ExportDispl = (0|1)

PickSourcePositions = (0|1)

ickDepthFromLayer0 = (0|1)

CoarseMesh = (0|1)

// This part is clear

DisplDepth = (8 bits, 16 bits, 32 bits)

DisplNorm = (GREYBASED, ZEROBASED, ZEROBASED_NORM, ZEROBASED_ABS)

// Do we provide here extensions for ExportColor, ExportSpecular.. and other guys which have textures specified by TexOutput path?

DisplExt = ( BMP,TGA,PNG for 8 bit displacement, TIF for 16 bit displacament, TIFF, EXR for 32 bit displacement )

ColorFileExtension = (TGA, BMP, PNG, JPG)

SpecNormExtension = (TGA, BMP, PNG, JPG)

ExportResolution = (LOW-POLY, MID-POLY)

It will be nice to have an example with descriptions

No difference - / or \

It is path for textures folder where textures will be saved when 3D-Coat exports objects with textures.

Textures extension will depend on other options.

// is it just a binary flags like "Do i want to export 'color' texture from App to 3dcoat?"

ExportColor=(0|1)

ExportSpecular = (0|1)

ExportNormalmap = (0|1)

ExportDispl = (0|1)

PickSourcePositions = (0|1)

ickDepthFromLayer0 = (0|1)

CoarseMesh = (0|1)

It are options from the export dialog File->Export

// Do we provide here extensions for ExportColor, ExportSpecular.. and other guys which have textures specified by TexOutput path?

DisplExt = ( BMP,TGA,PNG for 8 bit displacement, TIF for 16 bit displacament, TIFF, EXR for 32 bit displacement )

ColorFileExtension = (TGA, BMP, PNG, JPG)

SpecNormExtension = (TGA, BMP, PNG, JPG)

ExportResolution = (LOW-POLY, MID-POLY)

Open file->Export and see correspondence, that are fields from this dialog

Hi Andrew!

I found a bug with TexOutput.

My import.txt file from blender:

/home/mifth/3D-CoatV4/Exchange/BlenderSimple3DCoat/export.obj
/home/mifth/3D-CoatV4/Exchange/BlenderSimple3DCoat/import.obj
[ppp]
[TexOutput:/home/mifth/Desktop/2223/aaa/]
And i got textures.txt from 3DCoat:
None
None
color
/home/mifth/Desktop/2223/import_None_color.png
None
None
normalmap
/home/mifth/Desktop/2223/import_None_nmap.png
The path for textures should be "/home/mifth/Desktop/2223/aaa/". "aaa" folder is missed.
3DCoat 4.0.3, linux.

Andrew,

I also found that [voxcombine] mode does not work. It makes nothing. It even does not import models.

Can you check it?

I tried like this for import.txt:

/home/mifth/3D-CoatV4/Exchange/BlenderSimple3DCoat/export.obj
/home/mifth/3D-CoatV4/Exchange/BlenderSimple3DCoat/import.obj
[voxcombine]
[TexOutput:/home/mifth/Desktop/folder/]

Hi, i would to develop a plugin for krita or inkscape or other app to export images and import them in 3DCoat as thickened mesh, in synthesis like option in 3DCoat opening Dialog "import image as mesh", but as i look in your doc i don't see this option yet: there is a chance in a near future to get this feature?

Thanks to all

Walter
