Ok figured how to import the mesh in the retopo space and begin adding polygons. Is this fixing not possible in sculpt room?
-
Hey. Thanks for trying to answer this one for me. I was in the sculpt workspace. If I am in the retopo workspace, I can draw polygons on top of the mesh, but not sure how to modify the "reference mesh" in that workspace ( Image attached)
I thought if I could just build a few polygons between the parts - I could use the hole fill feature to fill up the rest of the space. I could not find the tools to do this.

Hi
I have been struggling to figure this one out. I have attached an image of a head and neck and mesh file. There is a gap between them. I am trying to join them. Partial hole fix does not work as they are fully separated with no connecting polygon. Is there a way to fix without using another program?

Per pixel painting speeded up MANY times. Especially for big textures and Smart materials with cavity.

ok, so I assume layer thickness is in mm (as it is used most of the times)? Also would be awesome to have an option to go with thicknes down to 10 microns - for the higher res printers (I usually print on my machine at 25 microns).
I've heard you're working on 3d printing version - can't wait to see what it will look like. Some options to generate supports for different printing methods (not only fdm) would be great.
edit: started playing with this feature and have to admit I'm slightly confused by the output - STL? What for? As it makes slices I expected SLC files or something similar.
edit: ok, definitely I need to RTFM - my assumptions about this "export to 3d printing" seem to be completely wrong ...
I was also wondering. I assume the export adjusts (decimates) the density of the mesh according to the resolution of the printer. It probably offsets the mesh to compensate for the wire diameter.

I know 3d -coat has PBR ( which is great) , but it would be nice to have a applink to view in Marmoset. Marmoset seems to have better support for glass , skin and transparent materials . So we could have a glass and skin material in 3D - Coat that renders correctly in Marmoset.

It would be good to have minimum and best system requirements for new release. Is Nvidia or CUDA needed for PBR, I have a Firepro W7100.

Hey Thomas
Which version of 3dcoat do you use. GL or DX. Cuda or no Cuda
-
Thanks for the replies , I will go with the AMD card. My friend who builds powerful computers for the film industry , says the new AMD cards "seem" to run circles on the Quadro cards - his opinion
-
I know that the ATI cards do not support Cuda,but my other applications I work with use OpenGL . The gaming cards in general seem purposely crippled for OpenGL . Most of the models I work with are large , sometimes 3d scan data. I don't use 3dcoat much, but would like to keep using it in the future. Without CUDA will I be severely handicapped in 3dcoat? I would like to use 3dcoat to fix and modify 3dscan data.
Would it be better to go with

I am about to buy a new PC. Is it worth spending extra money on the 970 over the 960 if I am not going to play games? Will i see a difference using 3dcoat.
-
I think V4 is looking good. I also feel that the bugs will get ironed out, sooner than most people think. Andrew is amazing. 3D coat is going in a slightly different direction to the main stream products like Z brush and Mudbox. This can only be good for 3D . You cannot please everyone.
-
Future release request- projection brush would be great for Live Clay, especially for scan mesh fixing.
-
I think 3D Coat is an amazing piece of software with a huge amount of potential. I love the interface, even though I know it could always improve and be tweaked. Looking forward to V4 release.

Have a good one. Leave the laptop at home.

What CAM software are you using?
-
Anyone spot the new logo? Like it , but the font for 3dcoat needs some customizing or adjustment. my opinion.
-
I do think the current Logo needs to be brighter.

Thanks for that answer.
-
Thank you.
Can you also tell me if the size of the mesh (in mm) make a difference in performance of sculpting or is it only the amount of triangles/poly's in the mesh ?
I suppose what I am asking is should you scale a big model down (size in reality) before importing into 3d coat if the model was lets say 2 meters high in real scale?

Can someone tell me if all meshes imported into 3dcoat from scanning are always converted to voxels even if you only want to use the Live clay function? I was worried about detail loss if converted to voxels for sculpting.

I did this once for a Nike project, but it was not an easy process. This seem to suggest it could be
how do i join 2 open mesh surfaces
in General 3DCoat

Hi Carlosan. Thanks , I have tried that, but because the neck and head are seperate units, I cannot get fill holes to join them. If I could bridge the head and neck , then fill holes would work.
