Folders Structure

New Folders Structure

Really streamlined and logical as it was proposed.
Almost all now is split between two folders – data and UserPrefs.

• UserPrefs is user-created content.
• Data is sort of temporary stuff.

The folder in documents changed, now it is Documents/3DCoat-202x/
Even if the folders structure is changed it is compatible with the previous one.

As soon as 3DCoat detects some files copied to the new location in Documents from the old one, it will convert the files to the new structure.
Also, if you will install 3dcpack it will be installed correctly (except for presets that use old tools that are not present in the toolset).

So, to migrate from an earlier version you may copy folders from old versions to Docs/3DCoat-202x or create 3dcpack in the old version and install using the latest.

Migrating old v4 data to the newest versions

Use Migration Master to import your brushes, presets, smart materials from V4.

The 3DC_Brushes is quite extensive, so seemed to take a while, but then 3DC restarted with them added.

Warning: Not all presets are compatible
