  7. [Solved] 3DCoat does not start (Mac Sierra)

    in SOS! If you need urgent help for 3DCoat

    Posted

    Hello everyone,

    my mac got an OS upgrade and since then 3DCoat is not working anymore. I cannot start it. Tried to reinstall and also tested older Versions with the same effect.

    After klicking the window vanishes immediately and 3DCoat does not start.

    Any ideas?

    Help would be great, im kinda stuck with work here :(

    macOS Sierra 10.12.6
    3 GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon E5
    16 GB 1866 MHz DDR3
    AMD FirePro D500 3072 MB

  9. [Solved] CRASH! when selecting smart materials in a certain project

    I just wanted to add, that I have the same issue on mac. I got crashes on downloaded SmartMaterial packages. One of them is the same that Yarogor tries to use.
    I am very interested in a solution as well!

    I was looking for some smart materials because there is no real library for different material types? (like substance source/share)
    Of course I could download and rebuild them in 3DCoat, but I was hoping for a solution that doesnt take weeks ^^.

  16. [Solved] flawed Curvature Map

    I think the reason our Models look different is the import angle for smoothing groups.
    Cinema4D uses a phong Tag and the only way to detect edges on Import is the "Auto Smoothing Groups" option.

    Your Map looked more detailed, so I decided to create a much larger Texture Map. At 8k my result was the same as yours.

    Do you downsize the textures in 3D Coat? Working with smaller maps is much faster. Too bad the generated maps are not as clean :S


     

  20. [Solved] flawed Curvature Map

    Hi Guys,

    I'm having an issue with the generated curvature Map thats needed for materials to work properly.
    As you can see in the picture some edges do not receive any curvature values and the applied Material then fails to apply edge wear.

    I tried obj and fbx Import from Cinema 4D with Auto Smoothing Groups on the import options checked.

    Any ideas?

  22. [Solved] Dummy question of the week

    Well, the reason for starting from the retopo room is, that you need it for the Baking/Texturing anyway.

    It is also possible to jump to sculpting right away and then load your low poly model into the retopo room or do a new retopo.
    "Do I need to retopo?" > That is up to what you need :-)

    If you have no model you would be starting in the Sculpting room :)

    3D Coat is very complex despite it being so new. Having so many efficient workspaces in one program is rare. Thats why this complexity is so overwhelming at first.

    I've been through similar situations. Problem is, that the program has been updated over and over again and the Introduction Videos are outdated.

    Well, here is your cheat sheet: (at least how I would do it, i am new as well but have been working in 3D for several years..)

    1) Import Low poly into the Retopo room
    2) Do your Retopo/UV unwrap there if needed
    3) Go to the sculpt room > Geometry > Retopo mesh to Sculpt Mesh
    4) Now you can subdivide and or switch to voxel mode
    5) Sculpt :-)
    6) When finished sculpting adjust low poly mesh in Retopo room if needed
    7) In The retopo room go to Bake and bake your high poly details onto your low poly mesh
    8 ) Go to the paint room to paint the model
    9) Enjoy :D

    Now i tried the OBJ Exporter riptide, a special OBJ PlugIn for Cinema4D, but the problem remains.

    I am starting to think that this is a 3D Coat problem :S.

    I feels sad, because I cannot do, what I bought this program for. I wanna get started sooooo badly and I really like 3D Coat :(.

    Could you show another picture at a different angle and after pressing "W"? To show the polys.

    1) In sculpting one of the biggest newbie mistakes is to get the resolution high too fast.
    The more geometry/polygons/voxels the harder to make big changes.

    2) An idea would be to work with the freezing option to freeze one part and then strongly smooth another

    3) you could also change the light/shadow to be more intense. helps while modeling because you can see your own changes better.
