  1. Wow... Andrew is still hard at work developing 3D Coat. 

    As a 3D hobbyist and 3D Coat user I really appreciate all your hard work, but please do take care with all the HELL Putin is putting Ukraine through.

    I am ashamed at how parts of the world have stood idle and help fuel Putin's war machine by still purchasing their energy from Russia. I also feel sorry for the Russians who have been pulled into this madness by Putin and do not support it.

  2. Other then this issue the autoretopo option is fantastic. And many thanks to Andrew and the 3DC team for the improvements. 

    I can only imagine the HELL you guys are going through in Ukraine and fully understand this 3DC issue I'm having is very tiny when compared to the daily strife you are going through.

    Take care of yourselves and family first and foremost.

    God Bless and keep up the fight against tyranny.

  3. With version 2022.16 and now version 2022.21 I've been having this perplexing issue with autoretopo option on this particular 3D scan of a lion. I do not have this issue with 3DC 2021 as I tried it several times today in 3DC 2021.

    The issue I've having is autoretopo is constantly creating a symmetric retop'd model despite the fact I have symmetry turned off. This happens in both 2022.16 and now 2022.21 which I just installed. It does not happen when I choose InstantMeshes option in 2022.16 or 2022.21. Only in 2022.16 and 2022.21 when I choose autorepto with 3DC's native autoretopo option.

    3DC 2021  does not have this issue.

  4. I was a little bored last week, so I went to the local dollar store to see if they had anything interesting.

    I purchased a Buddha head lawn ornament and thought it would be a good candidate for photogammetry.

    I snapped 73 photos in the RAW format using my old but very trusty Nikon D7000 and Nikkor 35mm 1.8 prime lens. I love this D7000 so much I purchased a second one. I find little difference between my D7000s and my D7100 or D5200 other than the D7000 captures a RAW in 16meg and the D7100 & D5200 are 24megs.

    I feed the 73 photos into 3DF Zephyr and got this...

  5. So back to square one as "Simple" appears to be way more trouble, especially without NOT appearing in the N panel.

    Why does the official "3D-Coat Applink" work with Blender 3.1 and 3DC 2021 BUT NOT with 3DC 2022.

    IMHO this is NOT a Blender issue. The problem IMHO is 3DC 2022 does not check the folder defined in the "Exchange_folder.txt"

    FBX files are being written to the folder defined in ""Exchange_folder.txt" which in my case is "E:\MyDocs\3DCoat-2021\Exchange"

    And the "Import.txt" is being written to by Blender.

    3DC 2021 reads the Import.txt but it appears IMHO that 3DC 2022 is not reading it.

    What has changed with 3DC 2022?

    And in the bigger picture of global events Andrew, Carlosan and other 3DC staff having bigger issues with the hell Putin is putting you all through. My Applink issue is really a small thing.

    So please keep safe. Wishing you all the very best and pray all will return to normal soon in Ukraine....

  6. I checked and I had "Exchange_folder.txt" already in the folder C:\Users\username\Documents\3DC2Blender

    And it had the correct folder defined.

    So I deleted the file and recreated it.

    I believe this file is also used by the 3D-Applink as well as the Simple3D-AppLink

    As 3D Coat 2021 using the 3D-Applink will receive files from Blender 3.1

    3DCoat 2022 using 3D-Applink or Simple3D-AppLink does not work.

    I see FBX files being written by Blender when I use the 3D-Applink but when I disable 3D-Applink and enable "Simple" - nothing happens.

    And Simple DOES NOT appear in the N panel.

    How can I get it to show in the N panel?

    I spend why too much time trouble shooting these 3D Coat Blender Addons then with any other Blender Addon.

    Cheers & take care...
