  1. Where is this Take Subdivided Mesh tool? I have the latest 3DC on my laptop and a slightly older one on my desktop. Neither show that in the Bake menu. Edit: OK I found it. I had to uninstall all of my 2021 versions, then reinstall the latest. Thanks!
  2. I don't have a solution but it does look like a graphics card problem to me. I'd be curious to see if it still appears after exporting and loading in Photoshop or something.
  3. Hey guys I have a new video out on this new 3D scanner. It just launched on Kickstarter so it won't be released for about 45 days. I won't call this a review because I really only had about 6 days to both use it and film the video but I unbox it and show some Scanning.
  4. Here's something I've been asking about for a while. I don't know if there's a tool that could be made for it but I've wondered how people sculpt a regular pattern around the model, for example the hexagon pattern on Spider-Man's costume. With a texture you can just do it with a UV but in sculpting there is no UV. Cube mapping would have obvious seams.
  5. Here is a problem I had with the first release of 2021 and still have it in the current version. I have these bricks that are close to each other but not touching. I want to move them individually so I thought I would use the Pose tool with Select Object mode. However every time I click one brick it also selects some nearby bricks. Even if I make the brush size very small I can't select only one brick.
  6. Hold Alt and you can use zoom, pan, rotate any time. Also there's a thin line around the edge of the viewport, outside that line can navigate even if zoomed in close so there's no empty space.
  7. I was kind of wondering about that one but someone approved it and the other posts looked kind of normal.
  8. CAD is helpful but certainly not necessary for printing. I'd say most of my things I make to print are done in LightWave or 3D-Coat. When I do use CAD it's MoI3D.
  9. I have a new video out fully reviewing this new 3D scanner. It's not super high res but it's much more affordable than others I reviewed and had extra convenience benefits.
  10. I haven't seen those before, they look great!
  11. I'm not sure which brushes you mean but I'm pretty sure everything in the video is included.
  12. Add more points was my first thought. It may not be ideal for every situation but it will get the job done.
  13. I posted a video on this Tenacious resin that prints good detail but the finished models are very flexible like rubber. It's good on its own but maybe better to mix it with more brittle resins to soften them up.
  14. With the measure tool you can draw out a line from one place to another, but it's there a way to then move that line with a gizmo?
  15. Frankly I never liked this because I use Space VERY often when switching tools. One place where it always bugs me is the Split Rings tool in Retopo. If I have that tool active every time I hit Space to switch tools I get the text box instead. The only way to avoid it is to zoom out and move the mouse outside the object, then hit Space.
  16. I can agree with that. Like in LightWave the more you drag on the mini-slider the faster the numbers go. So when you first start you get fine precision but then you can go faster if you need to.
  17. This Trace mode looks like the sculpting features we've had since the beginning. Am I missing something?
  18. Good idea! I use "Select Open Edges" in LightWave to find holes in the mesh. It would be nice to have it in 3DC too.
  19. Thanks I would like to once I get to know it better. Meanwhile Glen Southern does some really good tutorials on it. Anyway, back to 3DC.
  20. It could be possible that parts of 3DC, or even the whole thing, could be made to work in VR. I don't know, so I ask. I tell you, it's really cool to be able to walk around your model while you're working on it. Especially a car model. You really get a sense of scale like you can't do on a 2D screen.
