  1. Thanks for the Kind Words! It is extremely important to know, that others need your work! All the best for the New Year, Tser!
  2. 

Frankly speaking, I don’t quite understand the essence of the bug. Run 3D-Coat, select default voxel sphere, File>Merge Object>creature.obj, Apply, No, Voxels>Smooth All... and where is the bug :-D ?
  3. 3D-Coat doesn’t remove old Undo-files under Windows too (but it should in the nearest build). The difference with Linux is only absence of lag.
  4. The bug was related to the Undo subsystem of 3D-Coat. When total size of all Undo-files exceeds 300MB, 3D-Coat removes the old Undo-files to keep total size of Undo-history below 300MB. But that function was buggy. It formed incorrect names of old Undo-files. So 3D-Coat didn’t remove old Undo-files on any platform. It just tried to delete every file from Undo-history without success. The lag was only under Linux because, every file operation in 3D-Coat under Linux calls a unique function: if the file name doesn’t exist the function performs recursive case-insensitive search. This is done to compensate the difference between case-sensitive file system of Linux vs. case-insensitive file systems of Windows and Mac OS X. So when the total size of Undo-history exceeds 300MB we already have about 500 of Undo-files. And every time 3D-Coat saved just another Undo-step, it performed recursive search 500 times in Undo-folder of 500 files. And that resulted in the annoying lag.
  5. Package 3D-Coat-V3-7-02C for Linux has been updated several minutes ago. Please download it again. The bug with the lag has been fixed. Thanks for your help!
  6. Hello, Vasci! Please, specify which version of Linux are you using? Does it have separate swap drive?
  7. Hello, Tser! I am trying to reproduce the lags on my both CentOS 5 systems, but no luck. Please specify which tool are you using? Does the lag affect any tool or a particular one? Does the lag manifests in “Paint” mode too , or only in “Voxels” mode? Do you stroke with mouse or tablet - does that matter? Maybe you remember the version of 3D-Coat where the problem didn’t exist?
  8. Hello, Flipper! Existing image 3D-Coat-V3-7-01B.dmg has been updated. Now save file dialogs include combo box with a list of available extensions. Please, download it again. Thanks for the request!
  9. Hello, Flipper! Please add extension “lwo” manually to the name of the file (for ex. “test.lwo”). 3D-Coat 3.5.14 was developed using Carbon for 32-bit Mac OS X systems, and since then 3D-Coat has been rewritten from ground up for 64-bit systems using Cocoa. New Cocoa file dialogs don’t have combo boxes with format selection yet.
  10. Hello roentgen and xeen3d! Thanks to your investigations regarding the crash, the bug has been fixed! Please download image 3D-Coat-V3-5-27A again!
  11. Hello all! Please specify exactly which tool should we use for Voxel sculpting to reproduce the described problems and in which presentation (surface or voxel)? Is this some tool from Live Clay?
  12. Hello Creator! 3D-Coat has been built against CUDA Toolkit 3.0. Please pay attention, that there are multiple packages of CUDA Toolkit for different Linux distributions on the official NVIDIA site. And the libraries in each package have different size. So it is risky to include libraries from one of those CUDA Toolkit packages within 3D-Coat package. This is not like in Windows, where there is only one CUDA Toolkit package. According to the NVIDIA manuals this is typical way of deploying CUDA compatible applications under Linux: CUDA Toolkit should be installed separately. If you have application which requires CUDA Toolkit 4.0, it is possible to install it side-by-side with CUDA Toolkit 3.0.
  13. Hello, drewsta! Let’s assume we extract the package “3D-Coat-FServer.tar.gz” within “/home/UserName” folder. Double click “/home/UserName/3D-Coat-FServer/fserver” executable to run GUI version of “FServer”. Enter your serial number and hit “Restart Server” button. This generates plain text file “license.dat” with your serial number within “3D-Coat-FServer” folder. This file will be used by the console version of “FServer”. You can point 3D-Coat client to the license server by entering SERVER_IP:PORT instead of the client serial (for example 127.0.0.1:8888). It is convenient to run “FServer” as daemon, because it has no interface and it will be executed on the background. To do so enter in Terminal: >cd 3D-Coat-FServer >./fserver_console daemon This starts the daemon and creates plain text file “/home/UserName/3D-Coat-FServer/fserver_console_daemon.pid” with process identifier. Because identifier of the daemon process is known, we can query the list of connected users by entering in Terminal: >./fserver_console list We can stop the daemon by entering in Terminal: >./fserver_console stop The last command stops the daemon and removes the file “/home/UserName/3D-Coat-FServer/fserver_console_daemon.pid”, because process identifier is no longer valid. To auto start the server in Ubuntu you could select “System>Preferences>Startup Applications”, click “Add”, and enter “Name: FServer”, “Command: /home/UserName/3D-Coat-FServer/fserver_console daemon”.
  14. Hello, michalis! It seems like there is no need in 32-bit Mac version of 3D-Coat, because Mac OS X supports 64-bit applications by default. This is not like in Windows or Linux where the user should decide which to install. So it is planned to leave only 64-bit version for Mac OS X.
  15. Thanks for your observation! The Linux package 3.5.21 has been updated today. Please download it again. Sorry for delay: Linux machine suddenly required maintenance.
  16. Hello, Tser! Thanks a lot for your report. The package has been updated. http://www.3d-coat.com/~sergyi/3D-Coat-V3-5-21.tar.gz Sorry for delay – our Linux machine suddenly required maintenance.
  17. moska Applications > Utilities > Terminal >cd /Applications/3D-Coat-V3-5 (or any other path where you’ve placed 3D-Coat) >open 3D-Coat.app Oh, and I forgot to ask everyone: does the Wacom tablets work in 3D-Coat 64-bit?
  18. Hello Mac users! 1. Regarding CTRL/CMD key. CTRL key will be enabled in the next build, but please specify, which button should CMD key duplicate – ALT or CTRL? 2. michalis What type of background image was that? “Camera > Background > Choose background image”? It seems like it works as expected. What about other types of background image? Do they work? 3. moska Does the application crash? Please try to run the executable from Terminal. It may output some useful messages. 4. michalis Was the 32-bit version of 3D-Coat crashing the OS?
  19. Hello! I’m curious, do you still have the problem with “Tab” key? If yes, please download and run this test www.3d-coat.com/~sergyi/Frame_Test.dmg The pressed keys will be displayed in the lower-bottom corner of the window. Please test and find out, do you get “Tab” message when no “Tab” key is pressed physically. P.S. It is much simpler to understand and walk around the problem with such small test than with a big 3D-Coat OSX 64 build.
  20. Hello, Tser! Could you please install “12B” and “13A” side by side and specify where do you see the difference? Because, I was not able to detect any of the listed issues on either Ubuntu or CentOS. http://www.3d-coat.com/~sergyi/3D-Coat-V3-5-12B.tar.gz http://www.3d-coat.com/~sergyi/3D-Coat-V3-5-13A.tar.gz
  21. Everyone, who gets system freezes, please try to download and run this test for several hours on end. Please post the results here - do you get system freezes when running it for several hours or not. This test is based on the same engine as in the upcoming 64-bit 3D-Coat for Mac OS X. Pay attention, that the window should be active, and you should disable screensaver. http://www.3d-coat.com/~sergyi/Frame_Test.dmg
  22. Hello, Mike. Please try to download this test, and resize the window. Post the results here. This test is based on the same engine as in the upcoming 64-bit 3D-Coat for Mac OS X. http://www.3d-coat.com/~sergyi/Frame_Test.dmg
  23. Hello ifxs! 1. Did that happen when you switched between applications using Alt+Tab combination? 2. Does your keyboard have any additional trigger keys? Maybe some extended keys which are switched on?
  24. Hello, SilverCity! What shader are you using? I mean have you noticed any dependency between selected shader and freezes of 3D-Coat? Maybe freezes occur only with specific shader(s)?
  25. Hello, Mykyl! I was not able to reproduce the issue on my iMac with Mac OS X 10.6.6 and ATI Radeon HD 4670, and on my Mac Pro with Mac OS X 10.6.2 and NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT. But I have couple of questions: 1. Is there any visible dialog of 3D-Coat when you resize the window, for example dialog with selection of tools to start, or dialog with settings for import, or dialog with 3D-Coat preferences etc.? 2. Does the freeze happen when you start dragging the corner of the window, or when you release the mouse button after resize?
