Does this work with Blender 3.1?
Where is the ZIP file for the addon so it can be installed the conventional why that ALL Blender addons are installed (ie: Fluent, Kitops, Quadremesher, SimplyConcept, etc)?
This is the proper convention for addons for Blender.
-
I looked at the mifth fork at github and it appears it only works with Blender 2.7 & 2.8 and I'm using 3.1.
And I recently installed all my addons to 3.1.
Also I see no ZIP file for the addon as there is with the majority of addons.

Thanks, I will do...Many thanks....

But that post is referencing a addon from December 3,2013 and this old addon from 2013 works better with 3DC 2022?
-
App link does not work for my 3DC 2022.14 but works perfectly for 3DC 2021.53
It also worked fine for previous versions of 3DC 2022 but stopped working with the recent update to .14.
Both have their content installed in the same folder "E:\MyDocs\3dCoat-2021"
Any ideas?
Cheers & many thanks

My 15 day demo of 3DF Zephyr 6.5 ran out yesterday. However I was having so much fun and really impressed with the support of their staff I decided to purchase it. Loving it so far...
I did try Agisoft Metashape, Meshroom and Reality Capture. Meshroom was too slow and Reality Capture does not work well with turntable captures which I am using since I am shooting minatures and models and a stationary camera on a tripod. Metashape and Zephyr worked the best for me. Zephyr has an easier masking function and is a tad cheaper.

Based upon the events currently happening in Ukraine, I feel like a complete ASS posting this rant about wanting more hard surface tutorials.
Andrew, 3D Coat is the last thing that should be on your mind. Not unless it is an healthy diversion for you.
I can not imagine the HELL you and your family must be going through.
Please take care of yourself and your family.
I am a bit perplexed how the west can sit idle and not come to the assistance of Ukraine, especially with Putin now recruiting thugs and terrorists from Syria.
Surely Germany, France, Italy, UK, Spain, Romania, USA, Canada can see they can not trust Putin.
Why is NATO content to be a witness to this carnage?
God Bless you Andrew. Praying Ukraine and it's citizens can pull through this hellish onslaught.

That's awesome. Hoping all stays well with Andrew, his family and the citizens of Ukraine.
In my near 70 years of life I NEVER thought I would see something like this happen.
I guess humanity has not learned much from the past.
-
Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this but I was wondering if anyone has heard from Andrew?
I have been thinking of him all day as the current events in Ukraine unfold.

I am debating on whether to purchase Metashape Standard or 3DF Zephyr Lite. I will also have access to RealityCapture's free version but have to pay per download of model.
Anyone have a preference for any of these photogrammetry apps?

I watched this video and I would like to thank you very much. I truly enjoyed and appreciated this.
A side note, I notice you are from Ukraine and I would like to say that the people of Ukraine are in the thoughts and prayers of many people I know in Canada. Hoping all the political turmoil is soon addressed so peace and tranquility can prevail.
Many thanks...

Awesome. I love these hard surface modeling tutorials. Only wish there were more.
Many thanks for sharing....

Cool. I do not use Rhino, but I do own & use MOI3D which was developed by Michael Gibson who did work on Rhino.
Many thanks for this. Much appreciated.

There are tons of sculpting videos for organic objects like characters, animals, etc. Recently there was an epic series on a rhino which I got bored of after watching the first three videos.
Can we PLEASE have some videos on hard surface objects, specifically vehicles, cars, trucks, airplanes and even buildings? Spaceships seem to be the norm for hard surface tutorials in 3DC but not to be mean spirited ,IMHO of the hard surface objects spaceships are one of the easiest to do unlike a car, truck, etc.
And I did purchase Anton Tenitsky excellent tutorial on sketching a car buggy in 3DC a few years ago and it was certainly well worth the cost. And I enjoyed it very much. But I was looking for something that was more in line with modeling a real to life car like a vintage Ford or Chevy, a modern day Porsche or Corvette, vintage WWII airplane (Mustang, Spitfire, Zero, Stuka ), etc.
Thank kindly and I mean no insult to anyone.

I brought the retop model into Blender to peek at. I retopo'd vis 3DC-instant Meshes with a target to 40,000 faces but ended up with 79,000 faces. I also used 3DC to uv map the retopo mesh. When I brought the retopo mesh into Metascape create the diffuse map, Metashape converted the quads to triangles upon export. If you look closely at the screen capture you will see Metashape put a diagonal line through all the quads, cutting the quads into two tris. Anyone know of a fix for this issue?
-
I find one of the most difficult things in photogrammetry is getting the proper lighting. I have no photographer's diffuse tent or umbrella so made do with the regular lighting in my computer room. The car had lots of reflections on the shiny paint, chrome plated parts and the windows. I did try a polarizing filter. And it helped somewhat.
I am but a novice so if anyone has any recommendations on taking better photos for shiny objects, I'm all ears. However I do know about powder sprays but I am very reluctant to use these as over the 55 years plus I've been building and collecting car models I have damaged many trying to remove dust.
So please do not recommend dust spray or similar products. Also I would like to shoot a photo of my own 60 Corvette and cars at local car shows. I know for a fact none of the classic car owners I know would approve of putting dust onto their prized autos.
