[[Feature] export single object/paint object ?]

+1 for this feature. We should at least have the ability to export with is in view in the paint room.

This is super awesome. Just playing with it, makes me happy!

[3DCoat 4.9 BETA testing thread]

Shading issue with UDIM textures in 4.9.65. Basically i have a char in udim setup, textures in 1001, 1002, 1003 and so on. But the AO and curvature baking in paint room didnt take in consideration for the UDIM tiles and cause baking issues.

 

 

[Paint: Change the color across a layer?]

i just discovered this, so give it a try and see if it works for your use case.

- Create another layer. (example : layer 6 )

- with the layer selected, goto "layer blending" panel

- clip mask layer >> layer 5 (layer that you have painted selectively earlier)

- select any material and fill flood it.

 

This method basically create a masking of what you have painted earlier.

if you are looking at preserving the depths, just hide the color and leave the depth opacity alone in the "layer 5"

[Feature requests for UDIM workflow]

i dont know how udim works in other applications. But having an object with any number of UVs with their own UDIMs, is far better than an object with one UV with UDIMs.

Feel free to add +1

Cant +1. I dont have access to mantis.   :<

Bug with cube mapping in paint room. Try to zoom smart material and it will lead to lock the value for "scale texture along main axis" as "-nan(ind)".

[[Feature] Fill only 1 UV Island at a time in the 3D Viewport]

+1 for that feature.

[[Bug] Calculated Curvature on Paint Tiling Planes]

Have you tried the new symmetry translation? It has the same tiling function. Just to set to surface mode when using that due to performance.

[misaligned flood fill paint job.]

I have sent an email detailing the issue to support. Thanks!

[proper vector displacement steps ? painting on the obj is only "height" based]

That was what i have exported as seen in the second pic. I have no idea how to create the organic shape.

Currently the process i had taken was : 

1) paint room - import model for microvertex painting.

2) paint depth on it.

3) paint room >> texture>> export >> vector displacement map

 

However, i didnt manage to see any other ways to create the shape as seen in the first pic. Based on my limited understanding, painting on the obj is only "height" based.

[proper vector displacement steps ? painting on the obj is only "height" based]

Can anyone provide some steps to getting the following Vector displacement shape?

 

 

i have tried creating and exporting but it seems my skills are limited to "height map" standards.

[misaligned flood fill paint job.]

This has been on going for many versions of 3d coat. How to resolve this?

 

 

[making vertices, edges alignment to adjacent in retopo room]

i have found a less than ideal solution which is to delete the faces then "hard" stroke the points.

[making vertices, edges alignment to adjacent in retopo room]

How to move the vertices and edges according to the neighbouring vertices and edges automatically?

I have tried

1) relax

2) delete the faces and RFill

Both methods are just averaging out the spaces and not giving me the correctly alignment.

Scale tool do work for faces in the correct orientation but failed at organic shapes.

So what other methods can solve this issue?

 

 

[symmetry translation (new feature)]

Uber nice to have this feature. I have noticed some issues with it when i was doing limited testing.

1) stroke mode - square lasso onwards dont work well.

2) voxel seems to be handicap in performance.

[[Request] faster smoothing for the pose tool]

 

set it 50x or more.

any examples?

No unreal devs have the tools yet...... :-(

Was looking at chaos cloth, to replace the awful nvcloth.

I chuckled when they said "you dont need normals". You just need billions and trillions of polygons on screen!

[retopo via decimate]

OMG! so much difference from the earlier versions. Now i can be lazy from 4.9.42 onwards ! Only 522 triangles. The other methods are finding hard to achieve the edges under 1k.

 

 

[sliding edges to join the vertices]

Thanks for the tip. I was trying out the suggestion and discovered a holy grail. So obvious that it eluded me. It was delete edges.

[Fill Tool With Vertex Painting]

the shading looks weird in sculpt room. Inverted normals? Does selecting the different shader in sculpt room help?

[sliding edges to join the vertices]

Hi,

Is there a way to join all vertices of two lines of  edges together? Without the painful method of moving each vertices to merge them?

Currently i am using edge select to move the yellow line to the red line. But the vertices dont merge together.
