Thank you 3Dcoat team. Adding the feature of changing the keys for array function solve my problem!

Hi, I found this bug a while ago related to Stamp mode with Act as Voxel hide function. When using "2D-paint tool, sphere tool and Vox Extrude" under Stamp mode with Act as Vox Hide enable, it won't hide the mesh correctly. It create a weird behavior which the mesh seems to fill back when dragging with stamp mode. Please help! (video below) Thanks! Norris Desktop 2023.08.14 - 01.36.07.03.mp4

Hi, I have found a bug related to importing Alpha as brush using "Open texture file" function under brush Panel. I have imported a lot of high quality tif images and found a lot of them have weird artifact after imported(These aren't visible from the original file). And it's worth to mentioned that I have imported these same images on the much older version of 3Dcoat a while ago and it never had this issue before. I have also attached a tif image I used below as the testing source. Thanks! Norris Mech_A (30).tif

Hi Thanks for replying. This still doesn't solve my problem. My problem is not how to execute the shape or mesh. I know how to close the shape with doubleclick with LMB. The issue happens after I doubleclick with RMB until I see a mesh has been created, and then I press "2" key to switch to my "cut off tool"(I set number 2 key as my cut off tool), but in this case it won't switch to the tool, nothing will happen, the hotkey will lose its function. I have a lot of tool are set to number keys(the ones above alphabet keys). And after performance a shape with N-gon it seems all the number hot keys lost their functionality. To repeat this issue: 1. Set "Cut off tool" to number "2" key(the one above w key) 2. Use Sphere tool with N-gon stroke mode to finish a mesh(until you see a mesh is created.) 3. Press number "2" key to switch to Cut off tool(use keyboard shortcut, don't click). Now this is the issue comes in, it won;t witch to the tool since the number key hotkey don't work at this point. And This is definitely not the right behavior, I have been using 3Dcoat this way for 8 years until this bug comes in. Now I can't set any number key related hotkey and any hotkey combining with number key because whenever I execute anything with N-gon, all the number key shortcut will lose their function. Please look into this. Thank you!

Hi, my name is Norris and I have been a long time 3Dcoat user since 2015 and very familiar with the software. However I found a bug that is hugely affecting my workflow. And I can confirm this bug happens since 2023.23. And I think it may(but not certain) relate to the added feature from the release note below: :- Almost all drawing modes (except regular draw mode) support shape multiplication. If you paint any shape (rectangle, lasso, shape, stroke) and press numerical combination, the shape will be multiplied, so you may draw multiple shapes at once.: This bug happen when I finish a shape with sphere tool or 2Dpaint tool with N-gon stroke mode, if I press any number key(non-keypad), nothing will happen even if I have hotkey set on those. I also lose the function of creating more shape with sphere tool. And sometime may result crashing if I press number key too many times, with a fatal error message saying I am out of memory.(I have a high-end build with RTX 4090 and 128gram) Later on I also found out this not only limited to sphere or 2Dpaint tool, most of the tool can use N-gon stroke mode will trigger this problem. I have a lot of hotkey set to "non-number pad" number key(1~9) and combination of Ctrl or Shift with number key. I have never had this bug before and I have tested 2 of machine and tried fresh reinstall the program but nothing help. Please help!!

Thanks for the reply. I have tried everything setting under the tool option panel for 2D paint but everything seems to fix that. Btw, the second video I uploaded with the steady stroke set to 5 is 2021 version. On version 2021 or before that, even Steady stroke is on and set to maximum, it still worked fine. I have tried steady stroke setting on/off or any amount on 2022, but it doesn't seem to fix that. I am curious if you are having the problem? I have tried 3 of my PC and they all have the same issue. I am teaching a 3Dcoat for concept art class and all the students using the 2022 version have the same issue. Norris

It has been a week and I just tested all the 2022 version (2022.1~2022.6) and it seem the problem still exists. I have been using 3Dcoat since 2016 (from the old version 4.7 until now)and 2D paint is always been my major design tool I use, but I have never have this issue before. I hope this issue will be taken into account for the future build since it ruins my entire workflow. Thank you! Norris

Hi, I would like to record a bug that I found across all 2022 version. (This bug is not existed in 2021 version) When using 2D paint, I won't be able to do a simple tap to draw or create a volume, I would have to drag a short distance in order to create a volume. It is very inconvenience when I just want to draw a circle shape with a circle alpha on a certain precise position. I have included 2 videos showing the problem. The first video is the 2022 version showing the bug. The second video is the 2021 version without the bug. Hopefully this will be resolve in the next patch. Thank you very much.

Thank you so much for the quick fix! It works perfectly now!

Hi, My name is Norris, I want to report a 2D-paint bug that affects my main workflow quite a lot. So I have updated the 2021-78 patch today and was doing the usual 2D-paint brush I have been using all the time since V4. I am having annoying jagged edge brush quality, I tried all the 2D-paint settings including very small spacing and a maximum steady stroke, but those don't fix the problem. I have tested 3 of my machines and they all have the same problem. I have also tested all other patches and I found this problem appears since 2021-76 patch which has the "Voxel engine sped up" fix. I guess this is what messes up the brush quality. 2D- paint is my main voxel concepting tool and without the good brush quality, it will be a huge discourage for me using 3Dcoat. Below image are comparison images of the 2021-78 patch with the 2021-75 patch(before the problem). Build - 2021-78 Tool - 2D-paint
