[3D-Coat 3.2 updates thread.]

Alan, FYI it's not clear how the polygons are mapped to the ptex tiles, the simple "poly 0 == tile 0" does not appear to work.

I've asked Andrew in another thread how the mapping is handled. So, don't get your hopes up

Cheers,

Thanks for the heads up Peter. I didn't end up getting to test it out anyhow, but it looks like I wouldn't have got very far.

I'll track down your other thread and follow it.

[3D-Coat 3.2 updates thread.]

Updated to 3.2.04 (Win+Mac, Linux comes today or tomorrow)

Changes:

- Ptex export/import done in beta stage. You will be able to export/import color/specular/displacement separately. Ptex files are much closer to textures so I placed export/import ptx files in Texture menu

- Merging retopo room with reference mesh/painted mesh -> per pixel painting will respect color of the reference/painted mesh. In previous builds normalmap was baked correctly but color was not baked t per pixel painting if reference mesh was used.

- In Retopo->select tool Relax will act only on vertices selected in Retopo->Select->Verices. Snap button will work in the same way.

- Fixed render problem when rendering custom size frame was not properly centered.

- I fixed multiple problems with snapping in retopo tool. Problems was especially visible on the "creature" model.

- I fixed issue with crash in Linux while using 'V' key.

- I improved cylinder-like manipulator to avoid controls squashing.

- Fixed PSD export issue - incorrect (dotted) padding.

Thanks a lot for implementing ptex export/import so quickly!

I look forward to testing it out with prman this weekend.
