[Dwarf WIP]

he looks great ,maybe add to the neck to get his head up some. for me to much symmetry in the clothing ,small shoulder shields, jacket upper leather . make one belt a different color and change buckle . Raise up the kilt some not much and one last thing he has Gum on his boot  lol  usually a warrior is all out of bubble gum...  He does look great perhaps he is part of a clan and thus is wearing the required uniform  . Give him a tattoo or some beard beads.

[[Solved] I lost my licensed version]

We call it a CME    Carlosan  Matrix Effect ...... just the near mention of him even viewing a question will fix it .    

[Import to new layer]

before importing add a color material in Cinema4d .color id it for different sections on your model a different color / name for each part. Then when you import into 3dc  you should see the Surface Materials  with those materials listed / parted out . if you don't see it go up to Windows Tab drop down list Pop ups  then you can hide them to show and not show when painting. To make it easier when you have alot name your materials as the parts they are ex:   engine_ring     rear_rivets   etc  as to easly know where on your model they are. hope it helps  

[Keep the volume after subtract from]

In sculpt room using voxels I have layer / volume_1  and layer / volume_2   I right click and subtract from vol_2 to cut into vol_1 it works great but vol_2 is gone after .  Is there a way to just cut into vol_1 without losing vol_2 ?  I could make a copy on another layer of vol_2  .  thanks

[[Solved] Can't type numbers into fields, only dragging works? (Linux)]

In the video 25secounds in you can see all the surface tools are available . That is because under VOX TREE  the Layer EYE_01 is active and that layer is in SCULPT MODE  it has a    S    not a    V       in front of it  only then will you see all the  surface tools  you are missing . In the video if he where to switch to say layer  Teeth upper  you will Not have all surface tools there because that layer has a   V     which is Voxel  Mode .     For the field box to change the numbers  are you Right clicking on it  because you have to LEFT CLICK  to change #.    last just wondering what your machine specs are .   Hope this helps some.

[Making Cubes]

it is hard to see if your in perspective  View   or  Ortho  view   number pad 5   will change it .  if your in perspective view  and do say cut-out  it will Skew  across your model . Ortho is what you want.  Also can see/change under VIEW  : down at bottom  you will see a check box for ortho.  also you can click on the cube next to the Grid icon.  myself I don't like the cube  icon with the v line  look   .     just a  O    or   P   would let a user know which mode there in . Hope it helps if not 1 less item off list of why.

[[Solved] Gradient Problem]

ok my bad . I am on win 8.1  3dc ver  4.7.07  and all works on my end .  Just me not understanding the non- pattern .

[[Solved] Gradient Problem]

I think try where it says Pattern Type  ( no pattern)  click on  to see dropdown list . Hopefully this is what your looking for .

[Paint pick point]

 In Paint Room :   When using custom made Alpha Brush able to move center  pick point ( the white dot that makes it active )  off center . or be able to pre pick where you want it to be. ( This is alpha brushes mostly when I use a photo) .   Also would like the option for it to be square when picked instead of round  .  I am sure there is a name for the tiny white dot / cursor ???  I don't know it.  

[[Solved] Clear Layer]

In Paint room to be able to just clear a layer. I know you can delete it but then I have to add new layer and re name it a 2nd time = more work. You can already do this in the sculpt room so it would carry over to paint room .

[#14: How will we look like in AD 4016?]

Mmmmmm   Deep thought  on this one  .   now I am wondering how far H.G.Wells  went ?  I will hopefully complete this challenge as I have 2 incomplete ones now lol .

[Workflow identity]

What I suggest for  the order of the Room Names would be a simple fix and is better then what is there now  IMOP .  most people read/go left to right >>>>  so most of time one would Start in:  Sculpt then Retopo   then  go to Paint room >workflow #1 .  Workflow #2  Start in (import)  :  Paint  use Tweak and UV room . That is all Left to Right and the UV room is farthest away from workflow #1 .       The way it is now  one goes  Left to Right >>> and  right to left  <<<<<  when using Retopo and Sculpt  and if I am going  the other way the UV room is in line  after  retopo   . I want to get the Paint room in the middle it is at the end of # 1 workflow  and the beginning of its own workflow #2  and  the  tweak  UV are good as is. ( Get the UV room as far away from Retopo)      Basically  just add ANY visual clue  for the possible workflow that 3dc says you should  do Most of the time .  It would help new users .

[SMART MATERIAL PROCEDURAL]

Yes very curious indeed ...... game changer as in switching form PlayStation to X Box  or  you have your own platform brand  called   XStation_2000         Mmmmmm  .

[Seven wheels for speed]

This will be my new background for my computer excellent work . The colors are spot on and having it driving into the on coming night showcase the front headlight.  I cant wait to see the water spray up off that center wheel when out in the rain. It will take out street lamps    

[Workflow identity]

I think it could help if  the rooms  would be in a order  of association / work flow used most of the time. A New layout (left to right) :   Sculpt  Retopo     Paint  Tweak  UV           RENDER        with space as to show  they go together. You could use a different font or bold text for sculpt and retopo  anything to give the user a visual clue. myself if I could I would just color code the text : sculpt and retopo (3dc blue) and paint,tweak,uv  (3dc green)   render room white default.      bonus would be the Paint 1/2  blue to orange in the text being paint is at the end of work flow and the beginning of its own work flow . what is there now is confusing or should I say no help for new users. Thanks for your time.

[Help on workflow and tips please]

The Retopo Room Has its own UV Tools you use them in the retopo room . Do all your UV s  in the retopo room .  you DO NOT go to the UV ROOM as your photo above ! (you will not see model there)  That room is for when you 1st  bring a model into 3dc to the Paint Room 1st and if that model   has uv s with it to work on / see  those  UVs you would then use the UV ROOM.     Re: cap   Paint , Tweak , UV  these rooms go together.  and  Sculpt , Retopo  go together (  retopo has its uv tools in it so then you can bake and move on to the paint room or just export out all maps.  Hope it helps

[First Official Contest Winners!]

Excellent work by all to complete there visions. Ye-old sea turtle for the win . Awesome !

[Object disappears in paint room]

From your screen shot top 1st one your model is very big verses the grid would explain why the 23,000,000 count the bigger scale =  more voxels to keep sharp/form but only voxel mode. . auto scale is just the opposite for me I don't see my model then I do coming in from Blender. try a default cube from Maya with auto scale to see how big. But whatever is working for you glad I could help some. Note  Shift A  should get you back to your model.

[Object disappears in paint room]

in the paint room up top row click on VIEW  > then check   show voxel in paint room..    too get a model in view port use Shift A  that will center it in view.  Your model is in voxel mode in the Sculpt Room  go to Retopo Room  in there you can retopo it  Bake  and   UV  it . the Retopo room has its own UV tool set in also.    The UV Room you are in above would be if you brought your model in 3dc into the paint room  and you could use the tweak room and the UV room . I wish 3dc would just color code the rooms for a visual clue of these work together in most situations.   If you go from sculpt room to paint room in voxel mode you will be painting directly on you model .  you could import your model With Out voxelization  its in the Tool Options  panel pop-up when you bring your model in check the box.  I also hit Auto Scale then hit apply . this puts your model in surface mode it will be the same as it was in your other program .   

[Few 3d coat questions]

for #2 hold Alt  and left click on the EYE icon on the layer your on .  also works with ghosting them.   #3 RIGHT CLICK on /over layer in vox tree brings up a menu list. For #6 try loading all ngons lol

[Missing Quads from Retopo]

when / As you use Auto-retopo the last pop-up screen when you can name your UV set theres a list of options you can check  on/off  it is  there below triangulate .

[UV issues from Blender workflow]

I would check the base model in blender that the face normal s  are all facing out.   Edit mode bring up the N panel   > down to normal  s  face select  to see if all the nomals are facing out. hard to see in screen shot but that area looks darker I think.   you could  also hit   W   menu > remove doubles . Worth a look  I find it on models I think are good to go but have this .  I usually bring the model in the paint room and fill it with a color to see it right away problem faces. Hope it helps.

[Seven wheels for speed]

Oh Yeah  that's the stuff right there . Love the blue in the canisters and the screen reflect on lens. I am guessing the figurehead Falcon s eyes are the camera for the screen. I  would like to see the back of car view  before I order one . 

[is there something wrong with SPLIT in surface mode?]

win8.1   4.7.07   all works.

[[Solved] Top and bottom views: possible to redefine ?]

I am guessing this was not fixed as top view gives you top right view , bottom left view.   right side view shows you the left side of model  . your in  right side viewing mode but it shows you the left side of your model . Why would I want to see the left side in right side view?  Then I say how does one say that's fine  its good enough . I just expect not except more from 3dc . A little tlc for the basic things.  Just some venting ... on with my day.
