Not happening. I cannot install 2024.27. It hangs on the small screen likes its opening but it doesnt. Tried installing twice.  Ive got the latest gitrhub release. I can send out of blender but not get back. At this point when I do texturing in 3dcoat I'll just export the textures. It only takes seconds to load them correctly into blender.

I honestly forgot if it was possible to clone an area like photoshop.  How can I clone the cloth pattern to another area.

You can download the working version here, or let 3DC install it automatically upgrading to version 2024.27 https://github.com/AndrewShpagin/io-coat3d * you need to uninstall the default version bundled with Blender, it is old

After reading this I went back in to see if mine was working as it did last time. Nope. Upgraded Blender to latest 4.2 LTS, 3dcoat is 2024.26 and the errors have returned. Its just easier to use open in external app and then go to the 3dc2blender and node them in.

I did some practice in retopo/modeling rooms and i found some bugs i want to report. I made a video where i detailed explain what happen. Also i decided add my experience and opinion about retopo/modeling working process i would be glad if some developers will see it, i hope it will be helpful. This is a bit long video so i uploaded it to my mega drive. https://mega.nz/file/lL8jDLSL#pkyz0o6sP1ix8UpzDhrxZGmukO0UsOFOJxBnt4zBdFU Also i leave a short text version about bugs only without my experience/opinion things.

This video demonstrates a small but helpful addition in 3DCoat, which switches the viewport to Orthographic view and the most closely aligned view, simultaneously.  

What if you add a base model to the layer and then use 2D-paint over it ?

Hi contact support@3dcoat.com asking for this issue

I no longer have the Laptop, as it was a defect, and have a replacement Laptop, How do I have the Serial Number Key on previous laptop which I don't have anymore, deactivated so that I can then use on my new replacement Laptop?   Plus, My 2D Paint on the 3D Coat is not functioning

My 3D Coat GL, I bought in 2020, and the 2D-Paint has No Icon,and when attempting to paint, the Grid moves Only, No Painting   What do I need to do to get to run normally?

This video is a brief tip about a little-known feature, but a very helpful one in certain circumstances. That is the "Look Along Normal" camera navigation option. It helps align the camera to orient itself along the normals of  the part of the object you want to focus on. This is very handy when making precise cuts or splitting objects, especially when the object is not perfectly aligned along an axis plane  

Fixed in 28 (soon)

Thank you Oleg. I will try that out later today.

For now it's ok with backface culling deactivate   Thanks for trying to help Best regards
