  1. Digman's Cravings

    in Finished Projects

    Posted

    A fun little project. I took a recent 15 minute real pencil head study, took a photo of it. Adjusted the colors and then brought the image into 3DC as a mesh.

    Did a little sculpting on it... Pure fun and make the study a little more artisty...  :)

    This is beautiful buddy =)

  2. V4.5 BETA (experimental)

    in New Releases, Bugs Reports & Development Discussion

    Posted · Edited by arumiat

    I just imported to sculpt room a pre-subdivided object consisting of 142 subobjects (1 144 864 triangles in total) and the performance I get in the viewport is below 1 frame per second. It's weird considering that I was able to handle sculptures as heavy as 60M polys with a much more fluid viewport performance.

    What might be going on here?

    I'm getting tired of all of those ridiculous problems that surface when you least expect them.

     

    I just reinstalled 4.5.19 on a fresh Windows 7 install after getting the blue screen of death on my old setup. Now trying to open my old files gives me 7-15FPS in the viewport. Feels like trying to pull my brush over honey. Have you managed to fix things? I'm going to uninstall .19 and hopefully 4.5.16 will fix it

     

    EDIT: According to the mirror https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B_SttA137fidZmljODdfUm9qdHc&usp=sharing#list last available 4.5 version is 18, is it possible to go back further than this with versions? ajz3D, do you remember the last version that you were using without issue?

  3. Painting normal depth along stroke

    Hi Tony,

    If you're referring to this

    post-38412-0-99596600-1442776027.png

     

    yes that is correctly set. It's more that it would be great to be able to paint a texture like this

    post-38412-0-78186400-1442776051_thumb.p

     

    along a stroke without having to stencil it on and constantly adjust the view / stencil position. At the moment the only way I can see how to paint many similar lines at  slightly different angles is to keep adjusting the stencil gizmo and my camera view. The other mapping options do not seem to be what I'd be looking for.

     

    If it would be better explained by video let me know

  4. Painting normal depth along stroke

    I feel like I found a way to do this in the past but can no longer find it anymore.

     

    I have a mesh that I've baked with a Normal map for painting. I'd like to be able to paint depth along the direction of my stroke, without having to use a stencil. Is this possible? Or did I use to have far more patiences a few months ago. It's a pretty nasty process trying to paint a linear texture currently..

     

    Thanks.

  9. arumiat's notebook

    Inspired by Glauco Longhis very enjoyable livestream on sculpting, and given I haven't used 3DC at all for anything personal / fun I decided to try and mimic his tools within 3DC. Learnt a lot about the sculpt workflow, namely that sculpt mode seems better at handling low poly meshes in terms of brush responsiveness which surprised me, and how much fun it is to sculpt out rough forms with the mud tool. 

    I'll hopefully get to spend 30 mins or so with this project every week.

  13. Cintiq Lag

    in General 3DCoat

    Posted

    I thought a Cintiq was a standalone system? Or is that just a tablet you have plugged into your macpro?

     

    The general lag you have sounds like some sort of spec issue. Are you definitely using the dedicated GPU to display 3DC? I dont know how to check this on a Mac.

     

    5 seconds? That sounds unusable. How many triangles are you sculpting on? What size brush are you using?

    post-38412-0-24512800-1439922536_thumb.p

     

    In the sculpt room try -> Geometry -> Cuda smooth boost (available if Nvidia) but this gives a mild performance increase.

     

    Can you post a short screencast? http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/

  14. Taking a multi-part mesh into Substance

    in General 3DCoat

    Posted · Edited by arumiat

    @arumiat Not sure if this will help, but I just had a similar challenge getting from 3Dcoat to SP.

     

    My process was

     

    1. Model in Blender (low poly, 5 objects)

    2. Export .obj to 3dcoat for UV mapping. All objects on same UV set

    3. Export .obj again to Substance - this gave me the 'one material' issue

    4. Opened the .obj in Blender again, and add a separate default material to each object (naming them, head, eyes, hair etc.)

    4. Open obj in Substance et voilá. Objects separated by material (as 'texture sets') ready for painting, and allowing for isolating parts. The obects still share the UV space as expected.

     

    Hope this gets you a bit further :)

     

    Woah, that's huge! I had effectively given up on the Substance workflow because of this issue. Thanks Hammers!  :)  :)  :)

    Andrew, can you make all colour pickers to pick up colours from outside of 3D-Coat window?

    Hell, I can't even pick colours from 3D-Coat itself.

    attachicon.gifcolor_picker.jpg

    For example: on the picture above, I'd like to pick up one of the already defined blue colours, without having to memorize their HSV or RGB values and re-entering them.

    Maya 2012 had the same problem, but you could hold the dropper icon and hover the cursor over area of interest that was outside of Maya window to pick up the colour. I can't do this workaround here.

    +1 for this
