  7. ZbrushCore, a new streamlined version of Zbrush (Indie?)

    Yeah its a tough one, such a good deal for an "indy" version of zbrush.

    My biggest concern however is the effect it will have in regards to 3D Coat. One of the perks of 3DC was that it was targeting that lower end (price range). Pixologic has now appropriately identified that market and created a product for it. Smart move on their part. Hoping 3DC can stay competitive and up the sculpting quality to match this new product. I might even grab a copy myself, as a streamlined version might be more enjoyable to work in than the zbrush (pro) version I am used to.

    True this definitely seems like a response to 3Dcoat especially with all the attention it's getting from industry professional artists like the Learnsquared team. However you can buy a ZBCore and 3DCoat license for about half the price of a Zbrush R4.8 license. 3Dcoat can basically bridge all of the missing features. 

    Competition is good for the consumer and I can't really see Zbrush ever been "streamlined" in the same sense as 3Dcoat. It's a fundamental UI problem IMO. But ZBCore looks enticing I may give it a go as most things I sculpt in 3Dcoat end up becoming "mushy".

    Yeah, they probably got some notice from one or more of those companies to not include them, which would be a shame. You see it with other companies. I guess they must have some deals with Autodesk and/or Pixologic, which frown on them being linked to another competitor.

     

    The other problematic aspect to it was, the statement above all of that, linking to their "Voice" page or something like that. I understand them wanting to use the opportunity to share their faith, but there is a time and a place for everything under the sun (Ecclesiastes 3:1- 8), and that ain't the place for it. I told Stas before, at the most, under the ABOUT US tab, they could link to a blog or something, where they share this. Doesn't belong at the front door of a business, IMHO.

    Agreed it could put many people off of the software. Nobody wants to feel as if someone is pushing an agenda at them even if it's not true. I honestly think just a small disclaimer saying "Please think about how you use our software, try to promote values that are...  human life blah blha blah" you don't even have to mention religion.

    I went to the bottom of the page where it says change theme and selected 3dcoat and it has gone back to normal old view.

     

    edit was typing error.

    Ah nice!

     

    it would be nice however to make sure new forum is accessible as possible for new comers. Make sure everything is visible and easy to navigate without irritation.

    Yea if we could get a dark skin for this forum that'd be great! For instance when viewing which users are online people with yellow text(new users) are completely unreadable. 

     

    Also the images on the front-page of the site are pixelated and the features section should be collapsible, right now they only collapse when clicking on a new feature.

  17. 3DCoat + Wacom Tablet Zooming

    in General 3DCoat

    Hey thanks for the response. I have remapped the buttons several times it's more along the lines of the act of zooming. It's like it doesn't understand whether to zoom in or out so I just get this jiggle back and forth. I'll try reinstalling the drivers and adjusting the sensitivity. 

     

    Do people actually use wacom tablets in 3DCoat?

  19. 3D Coat on 1440p Monitor

    in General 3DCoat

    Hello everyone,

     

    I was wondering what your setups are for using 3DCoat on a 1440p monitor. Currently my text is slightly blurry. Anyway to fix this?

     

    Thanks

     

    EDIT: Found the fix on Windows 10. So if the icon is on your task bar you're going to have to right click it, a dropdown menu will appear, then right click on the 3Dcoat icon in the new drop-down menu and go to properties. In properties go to the compatibility tab and turn off "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings". I've included an image below(ignore left monitor, too lazy to edit atm.)
