allright, I've fixed it on my own. Basically if somebody needs it - find your 3DCoat_2022_Data folder and look for your '' UNDO '' folder, clear everything from there and test if it OK. If not then find AutoUpdater folder and delete that as well, it should be fine after that.

yap, found a '' data '' folder in my cache drive where I store all the coat's data and, added sufix '' __ '' to folder and initated boot, now it's working but I have no data, no materials, no license Very badword, no reason for it all all.

yea, i did, used the same .exe from the site, same thing unfortunately. still stuck, not sure where and not sure why cuz i wasn't even doing anything special with during my work session, just basic shit. Smart materials might be corrupted, seems to me this is something that happens pretty often

I've been using my 2022.36 version for months now, no isues what so ever, i've even used it for couple of hrs today and now it just stopped working, something is probably corrupted in either prefs or somewhere else but I dunno where exactly. Any clues ? thank you.

Thx Carlo, I'll check my settings, pehaps this is the answer I've been looking for.

atm i cannot, very low on time and kinda on a deadline, i'll try to record some example of what is happening and I'll send it once I free up a bit of time.

No, i'm using Per-Pixel and it worked fine till last few updates. I've tested with 3dc generates curvature as well, it doesn't work at all..and once I generate 3dc curvature all my previous work is basically destroyed, not even simple materials can be applied to my mesh without significant artifacts. More and more It feels that texturing is slowly dying out in 3dc, I'm really starting to contemplate switching to blender and leaving all these payed apps to die out...this is just not acceptable at this point. sry.

Depth channel is bacially '' dead '' when I'm trying to build a smart material. This issue is happening on and off all the time, I don't see any special settings for depth channel anywhere in the settings panel, I have no active overides on this channel, meaning that opacity, depth and glossiness intensity is globally set to 100 and is not being blocked out. Currently I am on 2022.34 version, can someone confirm this ? repo is simple, try to build your material and put any height map or any b/w map in the channel slot and then check smart material preview window to see if anything happened. For me it makes no difference, it's feels like no matter what type of map I assign to depth channel it won't work and it doesn't show on the geometry, it renders flat with no bumpness at all. p.s. I am using imprted normal, curvature and AO maps baked in marmoset. 3DC freq notifies my about curvatures being in '' old style '' and that to avoid it I should bake new normal and curvature map..which is OK but if this is the reasoon for depth channels not being properly handled by 3dc just because I didn't bake maps within 3dc..then you should just remove 'import option all together cuz its irrelevant if this is the case.

Ok, so, basically data folder was corrupted, deleted now. really annoying,not sure what caused it since I only have smart materials there and they are all from PBR scan gallery, most of them bought before it became free to use. anyway, it's working now, thx Carlo

Oh, i found it here, and yes i do have this version installed. As far as anti-virus is concerned I have malverbyte, wasn't blocking it before not sure if it does now

I cannot reach that version unfortunately. Usually I do that through in app updater, not sure how to find it here anymore

today it's not working at all, by that i mean I cannot even boot it up, it basically just stalls on the splash screen and never moves from there.

Visibility of this symetry helper is really wonky, not sure if it's the color or the shape but damn it's really hard sometimes to see it ( expecially if you use custom shader on you model like I am here ) Would it be posssible to request feature : add color adjustments to the symetry helper add scale adjustments to the symetry helper add shape adjustments tot he symetry helper that way we can customize it to better fit custom or legacy shader for model. thank you

Yes, I know that also could be used as a solution, however I think suggestion I made in first post is a lot more intuitive, it is within export menu and it's really logical and it's non-destructive ( meaning, I wouldn't need to delete 6 maps within PBR Metalness preset just to export single map, I would just have to check/uncheck what I need )

on texture export it would be really useful to have option to deselect certain maps in case we dont need all of them and wouldn't want to delete any maps from the list just to export one.
