We stopped to build "3DCoat" for Linux several months ago because several customers reported that performance of "3DCoat" inside Windows emulator under Linux is better than native build of "3DCoat" for Linux. Regular builds of "3DCoat" are only under Windows and macOS. In time we will try to build "3DCoat" under newest Ubuntu using its latest "GCC" with all possible optimizations. That should increase speed of "3DCoat" and will make "3DCoat" builds under Linux more regular.

According to your screenshots the viewport is sharp. I will explain what happens on example of "Retina" displays under macOS. "3DCoat" supports HiDPI (Retina) displays by rendering more pixels in the viewport. To render user interface elements and text on HiDPI displays "3DCoat" upscales them to maintain the same physical size of user interface on Retina (144 ppi) and non-Retina (72 ppi) displays. I have attached screenshots to explain this. The first screenshot is made on my non-Retina external display (72 ppi). The viewport and user interface are equally sharp because they are rendered without scaling with the same 72 pixels per inch resolution. The second screenshot is made on Retina display of my MacBook Pro (144 ppi). The viewport is sharp (144 pixels/inch). User interface elements are upscaled by two to match those 144 pixels/inch of the viewport. Otherwise the elements would be small. They are blurry because user elements and font textures in "3DCoat" have resolution 72 pixels/inch. Note that "3DCoat" doesn't have any special code to support HiDPI under Windows. "3DCoat" doesn't upscales its user interface under Windows in any case. That "upscaling" becomes from Windows system setting "Change the size of text, apps, and other items" which effects in the same way as I have explained above.

Please define environment variable "COAT_FILES_PATH" with full path to your custom documents (configuration) folder. Read more here: http://pilgway.com/~sergyi/Docs/CustomDocumentsFolder.pdf The environment variable should be defined globally to Gnome applications. Please see section "Environment variables under Linux" in this document: http://pilgway.com/~sergyi/LinuxDocs/FServer.pdf

Здравствуйте! В настройках "3DCoat" нужно выбрать библиотеку работы с планшетом "TabletPC" вместо "WinTab": Edit > Preferences > Tablet Library > TabletPC.

As for reference I have tested "3DCoat 4.8.23" on my old iMac with macOS 10.13 (i3 3.06GHz, 8GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 4670 256MB). Performance (FPS) depends on brush radius: 3DCoat 4.8.23 > Voxel Sculpting > select medium sphere > select any default shader > Commands > Res+ 3 times > 4 million triangles make ~58 FPS during navigation, Grow brush with Radius 1.0 makes ~58 FPS, Grow brush with Radius 3.0 makes > 30 FPS, Grow brush with Radius 5.0 makes ~20 FPS (see the attached screenshot). Big sphere > Commands > Res+ 3 times > 15 million triangles makes unresponsive ~3 FPS during navigation.

Floating licensing scheme is designed to be used inside local company. Standalone license for laptop would be much more convenient because your will not need connection between your laptop and your local license server "FServer". Anyway according to your log local license server "FServer" has successfully acquired your license (the the first screenshot). To install as "Windows Service" do [RMB] START > Command Prompt (Admin) (pay attention to the Admin) > cd C:\3D-Coat-FServer > FServer_Service.exe install > [RMB] START > Computer Management > Services and Applications > Services > [RMB] 3D-Coat: FServer 1.8 Windows Service (32-bit) > Start (see the second screenshot). Close GUI "FServer" before starting service! Additional information: To make sure that client machine can connect to your local license server "FServer" on machine with "3DCoat" client run web browser and enter IP:PORT (by default PORT between local license server "FServer" and "3DCoat" client is 8888 and it can be changed with "Edit Port" button or inside plain text file "port.dat" within "FServer" folder) of your server hardware where you have installed "FServer". Find out IP of your server hardware from the list below "Found X interfaces" in "FServer" log (in your log these would be 127.0.0.1:8888 for the same machine or 10.0.0.97:8888 for other machine). Run "3DCoat" client and instead of serial number enter the same IP:PORT combination which you used to monitor local license server "FServer" in web browser or manually edit plain text file "This PC > Documents > 3D-CoatV48\floating.dat" where "3DCoat" stores IP:PORT of local license server "FServer". You can also specify IP:PORT on client machine with environment variable COAT_FSERVER instead of plain text file "floating.dat" (under Windows 10 START > type Control Panel > View by: icons > System > Advanced system settings > Environment Variables... > System variables > New…).

Floating licensing scheme is designed to be used inside local company. Standalone license for laptop would be much more convenient because your will not need connection between your laptop and your local license server "FServer". Local license server "FServer" can be reached using external IP-address. When you run local license server "FServer" it shows (in GUI and inside "Log.txt" file) all available IP-addresses by which it can be reached (inside section "Found X interfaces"). Some of them are local, some of them are external. I was able to reach my local license server "FServer" only when directly plugged my server machine to ISP cable (without router). We give offline licenses to those companies which policy doesn't allow connecting their servers to Internet.

On your new Mac install new copy of "3DCoat" from here: https://3dcoat.com/forum/index.php?/topic/22364-3dcoat-48-beta-testing-thread/ Register it using your standalone serial number. Please pay attention to the notes below the link and to the document "3DCoat crashes on startup" in case you will encounter with such problem on your new Mac.

Enable "TabletPC" mode inside "3DCoat > Edit > Preferences > Tablet Library > TabletPC". Please note, that gestures which are supported in default "WinTab" mode (for Wacom tablets before "Windows 10 Fall Creators Update") are not supported yet in "TabletPC" mode (but in time they will be).

In the actual build of "3DCoat" you find new option "VSync" inside menu "Edit > Preferences" (please see the attached screenshots). Works under DirectX and OpenGL. http://3dcoat.com/forum/index.php?/topic/21433-3d-coat-48-beta-testing-thread/

"WinTab" library doesn't work correctly under "Windows 10 Fall Creators Update" regardless of tablet model. That is why we have added selection between "WinTab" and "TabletPC". The last one doesn't support gestures but in time we will implement gestures support in "TabletPC" mode similar to "WinTab" mode. For now under "Windows 10 Fall Creators Update" please enable "Edit > Preferences > Tablet Library > TabletPC".
