  1.  Hey Kenmo  Old School Wings 3D  i remember it .  I had (Fractal Designer )  Ray Dream Designer 4   and Studio  i remember the Lath tool was so cool. Painter for texturing  .  Back when i use to go to Computer Shows in NJ. buy all your gear and go home and build your cutting edge  486 DX  4meg of ram  with DOS  and a Sound Blaster board with a external Modem   i miss the sounds of it when trying to connect.  I too use Blender i hate the new layout but Relearning it with all the down time now  and watching /learning on  Udemy on Houdini  . i have not looked at Silo 3d yet.

  2. Hopefully a change in the order and color code them tabs would help with common workflows.  Sculpt   Retopo  (blue)     Paint  (1/2 blue to orange)   Tweak  UV  (orange)     Render (white)  Workflow #1  bring in/start in sculpt room then on to retopo  room (use the UV tools in retopo)  then to paint room.   Workflow #2  Bring in to Paint room  use Tweak room and UV room .  The Paint room is both the end of one workflow and the Start of another . any visual identity would help new users . I had the same problems with it 3 years ago .   

  3. I have been saying this from day 1 of using 3dcoat. thus is why I have moved on to learn other software . This type of business model is not good and when I see it I know to not waste my time on it. This Boat has so many leaks below deck but just keeps adding new cannons and eye candy up top which in turn adds more holes. I can easily see why people move on then come back years later and think surely it must be fixed by now Nope ... you get New Cannons .That is fine it is his software I only pay to use it. 

  4. It is all the work  around and small things not there that slowly snowball up to just getting aggravated . Just want a version that  everything works . All these not important enough things to fix or should say adjust to better suit . I see it all the time this does not work so go to this new version which fixes that but has a new different problem else where. Where is the go to version where everything works. (not just stable ).I do not get why one does not fix ,what is there now to its best . Keep getting the mini movie of the next great thing added in I shake my head and see all the things that need to be fixed 1st before that next great thing is added in which in turn breaks a whole list of things to not be working then they get fixed back to where they where . progress yes but  that  list of things  is still there. Just Branch 1 version of a working version with fine tuning things and have a 2nd version of the next big thing and all  of its  good enough it is in there here is the work around for it . It does not matter as like others I will just move on to invest my time in  other software .

  5. Hold Down CTRL    (blue line)  to go in.   Any thing White is in.   if you use the  OT_random6  Stencil  and hold CTRL (see a Blue line across brush) the white of the stencil goes in as to have no bulge.  You have to look at which Stencil too use as far as what is all white in it and all black. Hope it helps.

  6. When adding a Image/Photo .jpg   in  smart material  (Color)  is there a way too save/copy (Pack) the image into 3dc (that smart mat your making) .  As my Ext. HD is on/off and some are there. Kinda like in Blender you can Save image packed in the .blend file as to not lose it or go searching for it.  I have know idea how 3dc connects/reference the photo/image. thanks for your time.

  7. In Maya just give the model different Material to the parts you want isolated (name them as to help you in 3dc Mat_wing) . they should come up in the Paint Room with   Surface Material > then just turn them on /off.  Or use paint bucket tool that will also have surface mat. Hope it is what your asking about.

  8. Just wondering which version your using ? (I am using ver. 4.7.07 stable)  I Have been using this program a few years and it takes a while to get it . I also get aggravated almost every time I use it but just use it for what works for you and expand out.  I for one like it when one speaks there mind I do not see it as good or bad  right or wrong  just your opinion and I respect that .  3DC is pushing forward  adding a new thing and breaking others then fixing them such is Beta.  I myself  would rather have a less Latest and Greatest  and a full stop  and just fine tune  what  we have now  . It is a great program just keep at it .Heck it took me 3 years to get the hang of Blender and before that was Fractal Design  .:rofl:
