      I checked it out.  V4.9 seems to run smoother than 2025.11  Tested with 24 million polygons. when 6 million polygons, that's not a big problem. I use pinch tool.   V2025.11  2025.mp4     V4.9.6 49.mp4     my PC spec. This is a laptop PC made around 2022 years.

      [Fixed] Blender 4.2 Applink not working

      By Simon-telezhkin · Posted

      Yes. Went through those steps again, used the git version of the addon before, but nothing changed. I didn't get the 3DCoat directory with export.txt in documents, but creating them didn't work. Is it my issue? Do anybody else use the combination of 4.5.3 and 2025.11 successfully?

      What versions combination works currently? Blender 4.5.3 is LTS, not beta. Is 3DCoat-2025-11  considered beta? What version works then?

      By Simon-telezhkin · Posted

      Took me days, I give up, nothing works for blender 4.5.3 lts and 2025.11. Tried installing from git, change the locations between in program-files and roaming. Got to the point where blender exports fbxs to \Documents\3DC2Blender\ApplinkObjects, but nothing happens after it

      I compared performance, on my side 2025.11 is much faster than 4.9.60. But the 4.9 generally worked somehow slow on my PC, so not sure in quality of test. May someone make test - same scene, same brush radius, same mode - voxels or surface, and compare? 4.9.60: https://pilgway.com/files/3dcoat/V4.9/3d-Coat-V4_9-60-64.exe

      Baking existing Paint textures to new Object (different UVs)

      By Hammers · Posted

      Thanks @Carlosansadly that didn't work as the vertices no longer matched closely enough I guess in whichever way I tried some more things, and found that I could export using the deprecated Bake>Bake Textures menu, but the normals are flipped on just one of the (main) UV islands.  Not a DirectX openGL thing, I tried flipping green in Blender and it just flipped the normals for the whole map, of course. I checked the face normals on the original object in Blender, and the exported fbx I sent to 3dcoat, all fine. The other method that was tantalisingly close that I discovered was, importing the updated mesh as a retopo mesh, and using Bake w/normal map option in the Retopo room, with just the original paint visible and selecting the retopo mesh as the target. This did bake fine as well and send the result to the Paint room as a new Paint Object. But still with the pesky inverted normals on the same individual island, even just within 3dcoat. I just tried re-exporting the old paint object as an fbx to Blender, and everything came over perfectly. So I guess I'll have a go now at baking the textures to the new object in Blender.  It seems like there are some quirks in the internal normal map calculations in 3dcoat I guess. Not sure if this has been fixed in later versions. It does make it a bit scary doing baking work in 3d coat for me right now. Ah well we tried. Thank you again Carlosan

      issue with pose tool "through all volumes" selection

      By chr1 · Posted

      I am using 3dcoat 2025.11 on Windows, and have found that when using the pose tool on a voxel volume in the sculpt room, when i deselect the "Through All Volumes" option, it automatically reactivates itself as soon as i paint a selection over any volume other than the one I'm working on. I'm not sure if this is intentional or not, but it is unexpected for me. I hope I've stated my issue clearly, and that this report helps.

      Baking existing Paint textures to new Object (different UVs)

      By Hammers · Posted

      Hi all, Please help as I'm confused after not using 3D coat for a while  I've got an old Texture painting project, and I'm wondering if there's a way of keeping the existing texture work, but I guess baking it onto a basically identical model but with different UVs (they've been remapped in Blender and that version reimported as a retopo object). I just want to keep most of the painting, but do a bit of clean up on the updated model, just to export textures back to Blender. But so many baking options in 3D coat my head is spinning hehe I'm still on 3dcoat 2022 v39 currently I tried a bunch of things, but I was sure there was a way I just can't find it. Replace paint object was no go because of the different UVs Love to know if this is possible. Thank you!
