I wish i could put my finger on it but its completely random. I had it occur yesterday and this morning. I`ve just spent 30mins going back and forth into the uv room/paint room/modelling and it wont occur. I`ll record my sessions in 3d coat when i next use it.

Old thread but this fix didnt work for me, 3dcoat 2022.55 this occurs when you change uv settings and bring it back into the paint section. Any ideas how to get around this problem? Thanks

I`m finding when using paint materials above 4k (4 materials in this case) / 2m triangles (4 objects) i`m finding 3d coat (v2022.55) becomes so unresponsive. Just randomly not responding for 10mins+ with no idea whether its crashed or not. For example I created a new layer (12 paint layers) and then I changed fill colour (no smart material) and it just froze the program. So far its been 40minutes as Not Responding. Hardware shouldnt be an issue as i have 64gb ram, Ryzen 9 3950X Any ideas? I use substance painter, marmoset toolbag,etc and dont have the same issues but 3d coat seems very in consistant. Thanks

ok fixed the problem, some reason when upgrading it had created a subfolder (3dcoat) in my data folder and it was using that. Not sure what happened there. Phew! Thanks

ok licence i`ve just realised has expired a few weeks ago. So have gone back to an older version but still havent got any of my settings.

Yes thanks i have that set as Which is how it was set before I updated version, all the data is in there on my J drive but its not reading it. I also just updated to 2022.57 and now its lost my license information all of a sudden.

I`ve updated a few times recently without any issue but today i installed 2022.55 , it restarted and all my settings are back to default. I can see my 3dcoat data directory is still there with all my textures/materials. I tried relocating data to that directory but not copying anything but it wont pickup from my data directory. Its on another drive not in documents, any idea how to relink it. Thanks

Anyone please?

Hey all maybe I’m just missing it but with a fill pattern in paint ie stripes how on earth do you rotate or move the pattern around the viewport. thanks

Thanks i had seen that but i dont think its the same issue, mine is using the quixel software that downloads its material but it doesnt use the zip format, it just expands them into a texture library. For 3d coat to recognise them they seem to be needed to be in zip format, so i need to pack the folders into a zip to import. But with 20-30 folders i`d like to automate it to create zips without a parent folder so 3d coat picks them up. Thanks

Hey All, Does anyone know a way of getting quixel mixer downloaded materials (folders) into 3d coat. 3d coat requires a zip file and the only way i`ve found is to rezip the quixel folders. I found an automated way of doing it but it also zips up the parent folder which 3d coat doesnt recognise. So here are locally downloaded quixel mixer materials. I tried this method. How to create individual ZIP files from folders (itsupportguides.com) But it creates this as a zip for each folder, but 3d coat wont see the material as its in a sub folder called Concrete_Damaged.... Anyone have an idea how it could zip up the folder but ignore the parent folder? Thanks

Six years later still having this issue with 4.9.71 !

Yes deleted it. but the same. tried saving and restarting aswell.

Thanks, This one? I tried but didnt make any effect.

Hi All, I could have sworn there was a way to use a brush outside the boundary of an object? Is there a way? thanks
