how to "mask" and offset like in the linked video?
Karsten replied to Karsten's topic in General 3DCoat
wow, thanks a lot! I will try this and see, if I can get this to work. Many thanks, again -
hello, I´d like to know, how the workflow in 3D Coat looks like, to archive this (in particula the mask by noise and offset "deformation" to the right handside): Mask-Offset-Noise (please see 30:30 to 32:30) basically, a mask (16bit greyscale 1-255) was applied toi the mesh and then somehow "displaced" with an offset at least, this is what I was getting from the vid.. kind Regards

hello, sorry for not reporting back for a longer time - now I got my trail extended, I was able to test your suggestion - and it works! So I think, the issue is/was, that in voxel-mode, there is not much smoothing going on or it does not work as strong as in surface mode. Ok great, sp Pen Pressure works! Best Regards -

Hello Sergyi, I really would like to test it - but unfortunately my trial-time expired yesterday. I expected the smooth brush to kind of "undo(even out" even drastic changes, like smoothing them out and make things look like before (this is the behavior in most other apps, I´ve tested so far). Smoothing-brush really "destroys" sculpt and does remove allmost all sculpted stuff. best regards -

So my 3D Coat trail is coming to it´s end soon, without having solved this issue - which is a sad thing. I would really like to use 3D Coat as my go-to-sculpting app... but without a working smoothing brush... well, I think I will look around for other software. Thanks for support, maybe I will check back later to see, if there will be a solution -

Ok - dont know, what it was - but after restarting, all brushes radius were set eeeery small ! As I increased radius, things start working again. But still, smoothing brush seems not to react on pressure - it allways smoothes things out veeeery slighly -

Hello Sergyi the pressure test is showing 300 (low pressure) and 600, when I press hard. just works, like before. I renamed the 3DCoat folder in documents, like you suggested, started 3D coat an tested brushes, again. Now, no brush is working - either with Pen, nor with mouse... either in voxel mode or in surface mode. For model, I used the large sphere of the "standard scene" entry in splash-menu -

hey Sergyi, I downloaded the tester again and run it. It does not show "3d coat", but once again "Pen input (button). not sure, if I get this right?! So you suggest to delete my " Documents > 3D-CoatV47" ???. how can I test the 3d brushes inside this tester?! I am a bit confused... -

Ok, let me correct this - smoothing kind of works, but just veeeery subtile, no matter what brush settings or pressure I use. Smoothing is set to 100% already, and even if I set the brush´s curve very high, still nearly no smoothing effect. On desktop when using a mouse, smoothing works much more dramatic/strong -

hey Carlosan, I did once agan installed the drivers and did a reboot - but still not working. When I use the suggested Pen pressure Test tool, the Pen gets recognized as Left Tablet Button, pressure is around 300, when I just press it soft and up to 600 when pressing hard. It also works when I use right button on the pen and it also recognise the eraser... Seems like it is working ok, I guess??? But in 3D Coat, it still does nothing with fill or smoothng brush -
hello, I have to raise this topic once again... after installing the WinTab drivers, I did just a quickt test with the build brush - pen pressure worked great. Aftrer a while, I returned to 3D Coat to do a complete project, from A to Z (sculpt, retopo, UV, texture) - but I noticed, that some brushes do not work (have zero effect) and this is (among others) the smooth brush (as seperate brush or when pressing shift = the same). Smoothing does absolutly nothing on my model, I tested the same 3b.File on my desktops and smoothing works, as expected.... Also not doing anything: Fill (and "Planar" does not show a "Plane") I plugged a mouse into my book and - smoothing still doesnt work (!) How can this be? Is there some setting, I´ve overlooked? I am on a fresh 4.7.24 DX install... Thanks!

hi stusutcliffe go for 4GB or even 8 I´d say! like a GTX 1070, which got very affordable, lately. I would not mess around with 2GB anymore. Generally, the more GPU RAM, the better, as you may have guessed already. I try to find out, if things like bakers are supporting GPU actually, I am waiting for a dev-response myself. Cheers

hello, as I continue my 30-day trail and having spent some more time in 3D Coat, I start to like it more and more. I discovered the baker just yet (baked out a normal map) and was very impressed, of how this is done. Normally, I bake in Substance Painter and or designer, (xnormal before that) but there is no visual feedback, of what your settings will look like. 3D Coat does have visual feedback - like showing ray-distance to inner and outer shell and you can define areas, that have different distance setting, which is great. In older versions, AO baker was not that good, I´ve read - was there an update already to this baker? Does it bake curvature map from normal map or from hight/low poly? Is there some GPU acceleration implemented already? Could you bake "by matching name", so you do not have to explode everything to get clean bakes? For normal map, 3D Coat seems to be really good, so I am amazed that I´ve found so little statements of users saying "I use 3D Coat for baking" Please tell me your experience and opinions on that. Maybe some dev got answer to my questions, regarding the bakers? Cheers

hello, I´ve done some sculpting and exported the object to obj/fbx and iomported it into another 3D app (MODO). The issue is, objects imported from 3D Coat seem to be not "centered" at 0,0,0 in my modo-scene. Objects have a little offset (dont know why) - is there a way to force objects to be centered in 3D Coat? Like origin/pivot is at coordinate 0,0,0 in the scene? Kind Regards

Ok, I did yesterday.... let´s hope for an answer

hmmm, this is strange.... I am on a surface book i5 with dgpu and 3DC 4.7 trail.. I can rotate and zoom just fine - but the pressure is not applied, no matter what brush or stroke settings I try... Do I need to buy another pen (Wacom?) to have it working?
-
Was there a solution? running 4.7 trail now - but pen pressure is still not working in 3D Coat - in other apps, it does. Do I need to buy some other pen (wacom) to have it working? I am on a surface book, i5 with dgpu

it´s even working in browsers: https://stephaneginier.com/sculptgl/ - I really need working pen-pressure in 3DCoat!!! even if I have to buy another pen... working pen pressure is kind of essential to my workflow/to buy 3D Coat
