Thank you!

I have tried exporting my mesh from Blender to 3DC as a .ply; added some paint to it in 3DC; when I use Export to Blender, it exports it as a .obj file. Is that supposed to happen? In addition, when I go back to Blender and import the painted mesh, frequently I can't find it on the screen anywhere, even tho it says it's there. I'm spinning my wheels here.

I think perhaps when I imported my mesh from Blender to be painted, I may have chosen the wrong import option. What I have is an object that has not been UV'd & I just want to paint the vertexes & export the painted object back to Blender. Should I use the "Import for Per Pixel Painting" option or the "Import for Vertex Painting/Big Reference"? Also, if I wanted to try the "Simple 3DCoat" add-on, does it work with .obj files?

Thank you Carlosan and Knekke! I will give your suggestions a try. I will let you know how it works out.

I model an object in Blender, exported it to 3DC for voxel painting & texturing. When I export back to Blender, the object is there but not the painted object. Any suggestions please? I am using the 3DC export setup below.

Thank you AbnRanger!

Thanks!

Hello, I had 3DC on my old computer. I have a new one and now I can't find the 3DC app, even after transferring all my files from the old one. How do I get my 3DC app onto my new computer. I have an iMac. Thanks

Very helpful, thank you!

Thank you AbnRanger! Do I need to delete my older version before downloading the latest one?

Hello, If I download the newest version of 3D Coat will it wipe out all my preferences I have currently? Also, will I have to delete the old version before downloading the new one? Thank you.

Thanks very much digman!

Hi All, Can anyone recommend a site where I can find Free brush alphas and / or stencils? Is it ok to use just any alphas / stencils, or do they need to have been created in 3D Coat?

Thank you AbnRanger, but when I opened the program today and tried the Snake tool everything was fine. Yesterday I tried and tried, but the Snake tool kept giving me a snake with one of the built in Splines for Curves config. Like instead of a clean snake, it would give me the "Spring" spline. I could go in and change the spline but didn't know how to disable it altogether. If you look at the "Stencils" menu, there is a box you can pick to "Close" it and disable that function. I don't see that option for the Curves Splines menu. I'm afraid to try to duplicate the issue I had yesterday in case I get stuck with the splines again if I want to use the Snake tool. But here is a shot of the Stencils menu with the "Close" option I'm talking about. It would be nice to have that same option in the Curves Splines menu. Thanks

I was playing around with the different Splines for the Curve Tool. Now I can't seem to disable it. I want to use the Snake Tool without Splines but I keep getting the Spline. There doesn't seem to be a "Disable" button for those.
