Exactly! And it's so quick to calculate even very complex transfers. The other thing this software does that's incredible is that it will transfer your UV'd textures to the new object as well using optical flow & texture correspondence.

I started playing around with this application and found some cool uses with it and 3D Coat. I made a short video of it here.

OK, looks like I was able to add some text to the video stating you can aslo dock the Stencils Panel directly in the Sculpt Room as well. Nice that there's at least a way to update or clarify info in the video... I'll probably be doing that all the time. Hahaaa

@Silas Merlin Thank you! Also, yes you are correct about not needing to bounce back to the paint room, I mis-spoke, as I could have just docked the stencils panel in the sculpting room. I realized that just after posting to YouTube and realized that YouTube does not allow you to update and replace the video without creating a new link to it, once it has been posted... Ugghhh.

Hi All, Here's a short video of some interesting uses with the new Voxel or Volumetric Painting tools. Hope you like it.

Hi All, I've finally got around to playing with the volumetric painting feature. It's really incredible and can't wait to see this evolve. Anyway, I know there have been some videos already shared, but I thought I would share yet another video. Cheers! Also, I wanted to give a shout out to @Silas Merlin who has helped inspire me with his videos as well.

Not sure, maybe our systems got some windows updates overnight, Hahaa.. Whatever it was, I'm glad it is working again! @Carlosan sorry for the scare! Glad it turned out to be nothing.

Well, it looks like it just kind of worked its way out. As I went to try and make a video to show you, it didn't behave glitchy anymore. Now it seems to be ok. I've even jumped back and forth between the versions again, and it appears to be fine now. @Hickz I wonder if you are still seeing this issue, or if it went away for you as well.

Hi guys, after updating to version 36 from version 35, I'm noticing that my interface is glitching again (parts of the ui jump around in fragments). I have been able to reproduce this by uninstalling completely and deleting all 3dcoat directories under the documents folder followed by a reboot of the system. I then installed 3dcoat version 29 which was behaving good, I then upgraded to v36 and the ui started glitching. I then downgraded to version 35 which is what I was running before, and the glitch went away. I then upgraded back to 36 and the glitch came back again. I hope that's helpful, but if a video would help, I can do that as well, just let me know. Thanks!

Sometimes it can be really cool to capture an image before the render resolves. See image below. But yes, if it could work as it does with the mouse that would be really nice to have. I also do the RMB trick as well, but it's not ideal or intuitive.

Yes, I have the exact same issue. I end up switching between my mouse or stylus when in ortho mode, which is quite frustrating. Would be great to have it looked at, so it's consistent with the perspective mode. Out of all the applications that work with the space mouse, I have to say I like the overall feel of it in 3D Coat.

Here's a quick example I made with making a glass like surface. The one thing I can't figure out is if there is a way to create refraction. If anyone knows how, I would really appreciate hearing any suggestions. Thanks.

Looks like the 3dc_maya applink works in Maya 2020, but I'm not able to get it working in Maya 2022. Anyone having any success with the 3dc to maya applink in Maya 2022? Thanks!

I'm using Maya 2022, but I'm having trouble loading the 3dcoat applink plugin. Is anyone aware of what the latest working version of the applink I should be using. I'm using 3dcoat applink for maya version 2.2.2. Is there a newer or more recent one? Thanks!

You might try applying a mask on Layer 0 to reduce the opacity, and then in your actual texture layer apply a reflective material. Usually, Layer 0 holds the overall opacity for the object. Here's a good video that shows this. He does what I mentioned above with the window in the door. Hope it helps.

Thanks for clarifying. That makes sense. Something that I ended up doing is creating a hot key for my most used brushes, and I use Ctrl+E to quickly switch to my eraser. This doesn't solve your problem but might help to create a temporary workaround. Similar to how there are predefined functions like Ctrl and Shft to invert and smooth, it might be nice to have a Ctrl+Shft to act as an eraser, that way your alpha will be the same as the brush tools alpha. Might be a nice feature to suggest. Cheers!

when you have the eraser brush selected you control it from here. I might have also misunderstood your question.

Thanks! This is awesome news. You guys rock!!

Thanks for checking. Might make for a nice feature.

Hi All, I started a intro to 3D Coat video series, and thought I would share them with you. I'm still creating more videos, and will post them as they are ready, but for now I have three videos available. It's a multi part series that will go through the different aspects of 3D Coat. I have uploaded parts 1-3 and will continue to add more as I continue to walk through all the different workflows. I hope you like them. part1 https://youtu.be/-9-Ib_lq_Do part2 https://youtu.be/9hha1otuFZo part3 https://youtu.be/YlDidBSq8Ds

Not sure if this is at all helpful, but on my Surface book 2, I have both an integrated graphics card and a dedicated gtx 1060 card. For 3d coat, I set up my Nvidia control panel to only use the gtx 1060 when I run 3d coat. Now I'm not sure if you have that option, since I was doing this through the Nvidia control panel, but maybe Radeon has a similar control panel where you can ensure that you are using the dedicated graphics card. Not sure if this helps but thought I would throw it out there. Good luck, I hope it gets figured out! Cheers!

Thank you @Rygaard ! I'm super excited and extremely appreciative to see the great work you have done! It's a massive amount of work, and you are so kind to share it with everyone here! So thank you so much for doing this!

BTW, this issue only happens when sampling from an image. It seems to work perfectly with the color bars options, if that's at all helpful.

OK, here's a short video showing what happens. Let me know if I'm missing anything, and thanks for the help! 3DC color picker2.mp4

Hmmm..I tried only enabling the pick from screen option and I get the same result. Do others get a different result?
