[Hidden Geometry From Layer Wont Delete]

Using Beta 2: same trouble ?

 

To press the eye icon to put that layers off, helps ?

 

*sorry, cant see exactly the geometry in the images

There was a post related to memory issue

 

To use the last 4.1.17D version solved it.

Hi!

Are you using windows7 ?

[Blender misbehaving: good free / low cost alternative to change pivot / duplicate mesh?]

Yes, i was reading timeago about black issue in Maya

 

May be to ask in specif forums about this Maya workflow helps more.

 

However, the mirrored object is black as it receives no lighting, presumably due to flipped normal.

Hi Vaiktorg

 

You mean Ghost Mode on/ off ?

 

[XML Error]

if you manually delete the file

C:\Program Files\3D-Coat-V4\text.xml

 

everything back to normal ?

[3DCoat voxel brush setting - smooth and sculpt feel]

Lol, right

what i had done

changed my language to Japanese

and pause the video to copy/paste values

 

then when go back to english, everything was in focus

 

note:

it works, for me the feel is very good, is better

[[Solved] Normal Map Artifacts and Lightwave]

Changing the Color Space RGB of the Normal Map from Default to Linear fixed the issue in the corrupt scene. But what is strange is that in the other scene, it's set on Default and works. Weird.

 

After investigating a little further, I noticed that the color spaces for each scene are totally different. I've never messed with the Color Space settings before.

 

 

Well, glad it looks as solved.

[V4.5 BETA (experimental)]

I meant the file format (.hdr), not HDR as in High Dynamic Range. Probably I shouldn't use the caps.

For now if I want to load it into 3D-Coat, I need to manually convert it to .exr first.

Most of HDR environment maps on the Internet usually come as .hdr files, and majority of software supports this format. Hence my question.

It's not a big deal, just something that would be nice to have.

 

The Radiance format (.hdr) is actually just a standard 24-bit image, with an additional 8 bits worth of brightness data per pixel. So you have the standard RGB between 0 and 255, and then an additional channel going between 0 and 255. All the RGB channels are then multiplied by the forth channel, so each pixel is somewhere between 0 and 65,025. This means that the brightest pixel in an image will be no more than 65,025 times brighter than the darkest non-black pixel. However, the big problem with Radiance is that a single pixel has the same amount of color fidelity as in a regular 24-bit image (like a JPEG or PNG). If you have a pixel where the red component is 65,025 (255 times 255), the green and blue components can be either zero or 255 (or higher), nothing inbetween. With OpenEXR, this is not the case.

Also, a 32-bit floating point image has four billion brightness levels. With all three color channels, that makes for a grand total of almost 80,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 different colors. (That's an eight followed by 28 zeroes.)

Hi

Please try transform tool options

 

[Blender misbehaving: good free / low cost alternative to change pivot / duplicate mesh?]

It would be nice if Blender didn't recalc the normals when edit mode is activated. Blender doesnt support custom/edited vertex nomals AT ALL at the moment and constantly recalculates all vertex and face normals using its own algorithm, so: the normals are imported and then Blender just overwrites them with its own calculations.

Could be the LWO import-export project a solution ? i duno. May be i will try it later.

[[Solved] Normal Map Artifacts and Lightwave]

Yes i was reading your post

 

there is 2 reply

Do you tested this solutions in your project ?

Will be nice to know the result after it

 

Are you using color-space conversion?

Did you disabled color-space conversion on normal map image file?
It looks too bright to me = it has been passed through color-space converting routine..

 

Yes, I'm wondering if you just need to make sure it's set to Linear in the image properties, could it be that simple?

 

[Blender misbehaving: good free / low cost alternative to change pivot / duplicate mesh?]

I remember some troubles when you edit any object inside Blender -the normals are automatically recalculated-

 

Duno how to help with this task

 

you tried asking at Blender forum ?

free alternatives -i duno if this app can help-
