The model appears in the ApplinkObjects folder. But is not passed on to 3DC 4.9.64
-
I imported a model I created in MOI3D into Blender 2.9.2 and tried an exchange to 3DC for per pixel painting.
-
I uninstalled the addon that ships with Blender 2.9.1 and installed the one in this thread "io_coat3D_new5.zip" and it does put some models in FBX format into folder
C:\Users\kenmo\Documents\3DC2Blender\ApplinkObjects
But they are not passed onto 3DC 4.9.65 GL
-
Launching the command prompt as Administrator and doing a directory listing for hidden files - there was nothing in the 3DC2BLender folder
-
I just installed Alpha ver 2.9.2 of Blender and I get this error message.
-
Sorry, that's a not an acceptable excuse. I would like to start working on putting aside some money for the upgrade.
Poor planning on 3DCoat's part is not an acceptable answer to a loyal customer who is now on a reduced income because of retirement.
Sorry if I appear to be argumentative or confrontational. That is not my intention.

Late summer, early autumn the Blender applink stopped working on my Windows 10 I7-4770S / GTX 1060 computer. Previously it worked flawlessly. I was building a replacement computer based on the Ryzen 7 3700 CPU and RTX 2060 so I put up with it, believing when I do a fresh install of Windows, Photoshop, Lightroom, 3DC, Blender and DAZ Studio, everything would work fine. And everything is...
EXCEPT the Blender applink is not working on my Ryzen pc.
I suspect a Windows update broke something.
I do have folders "C:\Users\kenmo\Documents\3DC2Blender" and an exchange folder in the folder I've defined for my 3DC assets - "G:\3DCOAT\3D-CoatV48\Exchange"
I did not create these two folders. They appeared after I installed the 3DC addon in Blender 2.9.0.1 and launching 3DC & Blender.
However NOTHING appears in the folder.
Perhaps I using the wrong Blender version?
If that is the case WHY doesn't this forum have a link for the correct Blender Addon as they do for Modo, 3DMax, etc instead of telling users to search Github for it?
As I've said this plugin worked flawlessly a couple of months ago and then suddenly it was broken.
And now on a pristine install of Windows, 3DC & Blender it still is not working.

Sorry but I have NO contempt. Just curious as I would like to start budgeting.
Not sure WHY I have to send a private e-mail when I'm sure there are many other 3DC users who would like to know the upgrade price.
This secrecy bothers me greatly. Suggesting a private e-mail to obtain the upgrade price opens up speculation (which is probably unfounded) that there maybe different upgrade prices for each user.
-
I find it troubling that the upgrade price for long standing users has not been disclosed yet the price has been for new customers.
In most business models customers with a long relationship are held in a more favorable light then new customers. Now I understand fully why they would be given a more generous discount, and that is not my point of contention. I really do not appreciate NOT knowing what the upgrade price will be for customers who have been using this wonderful app for a long time.
Why the secrecy on the upgrade price?
-
It would be nice to know what the exact price would be for those who already own C3D 4.x so we could at least start putting aside some pennies. Not all of us are professional artists. Some maybe like me, a hobbyist who is retired and on a small pension.

Hi Alex
Although I do believe that the Retopo room needs to be modernized, both in the performance and in the administration of files; I think it's important to mention that in the long term, retopo room should become a CAD modeler.
As i remember time ago Andrew helps Wings3D development with some lines of code.
Being able to gradually convert the Retopo room on CAD modeling room would greatly help the insertion of 3DC in the market as a total modeling solution.
Thx and best regards

0000616: Possibility to create and manipulate nurbs surfaces and transform them to voxels
As a long time user of Wings3D and Wings3D forum member I was not aware of Andrews involvement with Wings3D. I still like to fire up that app on ocassion.

Sorry not interested in pouring anything onto the surfaces of my diecast cars. There are two many plastic parts glued onto the surfaces of the cars (mirrors, antennas, bumpers, etc) that can easily get broken or removed when dusting. Because of this most of my vehicles are kept in plastic display cases. Thanks for the tip but I would be very upset if I damaged one when removing the shampoo.
-
Cool. I must take a look. I played with Meshroom 2019 but the number of photos to get acceptable results was exhausting. Since I'm a car nut most of my scans were of 1/24th & 1/18th scale model diecasts of cars which have a very shiny surface. Meshroom prefers matte finishes. With the nice weather now behind us in eastern Canada, I should have taken multiple photos of my real life 1960 Corvette for playing with in Meshroom.

I've used the free version and like Rocket3F very much. If I did not already own Silo3D and Hexagon 3D, I would probably upgrade to the Pro version. I much prefer it's UI over NVIL which I found to be quite confusing....
-
Agree I find the information confusing. I too would like to know what the upgrade cost would be as this information for current V4 pro users is lacking.
-
Wow....this looks cool... Thanks for sharing.... Would be a nice compliment to those that work in Vue...

This happens to me quite a bit when I bring a model from Silo3D into 3D Coat. And ALL the time it is reversed normals. Did you check for flipped normals? Blender has an option to change all the normals to face outward or inward.
-
Just came across on this on ASKNK youtube channel and thought I should share.
HDRmaps has HDRI maps as a 3DCPACK and are free for downloading.

How does ver 4 of Terragen now compare with Vue or even Bryce? I suspect it would be way beyond Bryce. But what about Vue?
-
I thought some of you maybe interested in this...
Quoting the link...
With the current Turing-based generation of GeForce and Quadro cards, NVIDIA offers a method of physically connecting pairs of cards to enable direct communication between them. This facilitates SLI for gaming and similar applications, and can allow direct memory access between the cards for scientific computing and rendering (if the software supports it). NVIDIA calls these physical connectors "NVLink Bridges", and outside of gaming (where SLI is the more focused-on term) they use the NVLink name to refer to both the technology and the connection itself. I have written a lot about NVLink in the past, including how to enable and test it in Windows, as well as which bridges will work with which cards.

Here's another ZB alpha I converted to 3DC alpha using the above process....
The only issue I noticed is when you load the brush it looks kind of jagged. However the results from the brush in the sculpt room are acceptable at least IMHO.

05 - After importing into 3DC as an alpha for use in the sculpt room.
Seems to work but there maybe issues I have not encountered yet. Your results may vary from mine but of the 34 ZB alphas I've tried it on this afternoon, I've had no issues yet.
Cheers...stay safe & healthy....

04 - With the mask applied created this image. I then save the image as a PNG

2 - I then used select all and copied the complete ZB alpha
3 - I created a layer mask "reveal all" and pasted into the the layer mask the image I copied

However I can import the model into 3DCoat using file import.
Is there a setting in the 3DC that I am not aware of?
