  5. Smart material preview issue

    Maybe something with intensity?

    I think that changes the actual texture level not just the preview icon on the right.
    What I did now is click the reset to restore factory default and it made the icon dim like 2022.60.  But I have to do it for every material.
    I'm using 2022.37.
    Dim is better than overblown white. Alteast I can identify the texture now.

  11. color texture to normal map

    in Painting

    Posted

    I've been using shadermap pro, etc for creating normal maps from color texture. I'm sure this capability is within 3dcoat but I just can't find it.
     I want to create a normal map based on the layer color of the wood. I've always done this outside of 3dc. Is there a way to do it so I can see the normal map of the wood? Thanks!

    I don't know if it matters but here are my settings

    I don't do the scanning myself, I send the resulting mesh from paint room to the person who does.
    There are only two small issues in my experience :
    -the person who does the scanning has his software set up to z-up coordinates so I have to remember to set that up every time.
    -sometimes my scene loses the z-up coordinates for some unknown reason, so I have to check that the coordinate system is correct after I export.

    I get the texture back and fix texturing errors, and paint untextured areas.

    when baking color in 3d-coat there seems to always be loss of data, the result is more blurry than the original. I don't mind, but the person I work with does, so I rarely have the opportunity to do that when working with that person. That is why we retexture in the photogrammetry software.
    otherwise there would be two options :
    1. bake from vertex paint or volumetric paint
    2. bake from an instance of 3d-coat that has the original scan loaded in paint room, and use the Textures>Texture baking tool to bake to the final cleaned up mesh exported to disk.

     

    Thanks for the detailed explanation and screenshot. The axis issue is always a problem. Hehe. Different apps different method.  

  17. PBR roughness metal workflow

    in New Releases, Bugs Reports & Development Discussion

    Posted · Edited by geo_n

    I always wondered, is this a bug or my misunderstanding of 3dc.  


    I set texture workflow to roughness/metal and paint 0 roughness, 100 metal brush stroke. It's very shiny.

    50% roughness layer opacity. It becomes blurry. It should be opposite right?

    0% roughness layer opacity. This should actually be very shiny.

    100% roughness and 0% metal layer opacity. It becomes shiny plastic. Again I think this is opposite.
