[Improving batch renaming script]

Hey Anton,

> I don't know how to add intelligent zero padding to numbers like "003, 013, 334" I would be glad if we could improve this script.

you can use formatInt for that:

void main() {
    Vox  v;
    string x = GetCurVolume();
    SelectFirstVolume(true);
    v.rename(x);
    for ( int i = 0; i < v.count(); ++i ) {
        v.at( i ).rename( x + "_" + formatInt(i, '0', 3) ).parent();
    }
}

more info here.

On a side note, I wonder if it's possible to get a list of children of the current volume or a parent? Iterating through all the visible nodes is not ideal...

[[Feature] Bevel Size option for Vox Hide]

That was the first thing I did about 2 months ago but never got a reply.

[[Feature] Bevel Size option for Vox Hide]

Unfortunately no. On the left objectified geometry with 0 Border Width, on the right — with 100 and they look exactly the same:

[[Feature] Bevel Size option for Vox Hide]

The automatic bevel for Vox Hide tool is great but sometimes it's not needed. But there's no way turn it off or to edit its size. I think it'd be great if that was an option.

Do you think it could be possible?

I made an issue on Manthis: https://3dcoat.com/mantis/view.php?id=2462

[[Solved] 3DC license question]

Thanks everyone for input! In the end I the company bought me a license.

[[Solved] 3DC license question]

Hi everyone,

 

I own a professional license for about two years and was using it on my personal computer. I joined a company and asked if I can use it during working hours on my work PC: but they said that the software is on my name so I can't use it: it must be bought by a company and they don't want to buy it.

- I wonder if their statement is true and I can't use my pro license when I work for a company?

- Or these people have no idea what they're talking about and I can use it?

- Or this might depend on a country?

 

Thank you

[[Solved] Curve tool stopped cloning geometry along splines]

Hi everyone, 

I'm using 4.8.32 on Mac. I used Curve Tools to create a chain on a character and everything was fine. Later I restarted 3DC and now Curve Tool creates only one instance of a geometry! I tried to reset settings, clicked buttons but nothing helps. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

 

 

[Changing a local axis of an object?]

Hi Carlosan,

This centers axis in a local space, when I create an object with "click to place" option, its local axis is the same as global axis...

(attached coat.gif)

 

So I'm wondering if there's a way to

- edit local axis so I could've use it to set symmetry

- or align symmetry axis to a specific plane (to camera view for example)

 

Basically my goal is to align a symmetry plane of a weirdly rotated object. At the moment I know two ways of having it: 

- creating an object in global center, using Transform to put it in the desired place (takes a lot of time if I need an object to be in a particular place) (transform.gif)

- creating an instance of the object, then approximately rotate it to confine with global axis and then pick symmetry from bounding box...

Both take quite some time to do. My idea of the process would be aligning a camera along normal, and then hitting a button, something like "align local axis to camera" but I don't think something like this exists.

 

I hope this makes sense!

[Changing a local axis of an object?]

Hi everyone,

Is is possible to change an axis of an object? For symmetry and such.

For example I created a primitive on the surface of a sphere but its local axis is oriented the same as world axis

 

And I want its axis to be like this so I could've enabled symmetry:

 

Thanks,

Sergey

[vox hide and vox split, what's happening?]

Thanks guys! As I mentioned, I found the option to control split overlap, however I still wonder if it's possible to control edge smoothness of Vox Hide

[vox hide and vox split, what's happening?]

1 hour ago, Carlosan said:

Stroke > Border Width is set = 0 ?

Yup. In fact, I don't think Border Width affects anything (left: 90, right: 0)

[vox hide and vox split, what's happening?]

ah ok I found an option to control Split overlap. However question about Vox Hide remains

[vox hide and vox split, what's happening?]

Hey everyone,

could anyone please tell me if it's possible to control the amount of overlapping for vox split tool and/or smooth for vox hide?

I just want two pieces with no overlaps and seams. Both tools create bizarre result :/

Thanks!

 

[Апгрейд до полной версии для стран СНГ?]

Может мне стоило где-то в другом месте спросить?

[Апгрейд до полной версии для стран СНГ?]

Здравствуйте!

Скажите пожалуйста, я правильно понимаю, что для стран СНГ специальной цены для апгрейда с educational до professional нет? И апгрейд до полной будет стоить столько же, сколько новая полная версия для стран СНГ (280$)?

[Brutal brush lag]

Please do not receive this issue as solved , its not solved its just a workaround and braking uvs to small pieces is not a serious pro solution.

Another workaround is subdividing lowpoly without smoothing, I'm getting up to x3 fps boost on hipoly versions of lowpoly geometry. 

But I agree, this should be fixed!

[Brutal brush lag]

2048, as Geexile mentioned (I'm using educational version and can't test higher res)

[Brutal brush lag]

are you testing the version 4.5.17 ?

Ops, that was recorded in 4.5.16. I tried 4.5.17, it seems that painting on both hipoly spheres works with the same speed, but lowpoly is still laggy:

 

fps indicator shows 25fps for both hipoly spheres and 17 for lowpoly

[Brutal brush lag]

I noticed too that sometimes painting on simple objects is very laggy. I'm on OSX, GeForce GT 750M 2048MB.

Here's a video: I imported 3 spheres, first is lowpoly with one shell, second is hipoly with one shell and third is hipoly with separated shells. Painting on the third is the fastest/less laggy!

Interesting, why is it so and is it possible to fix this?

[sending projection freezes 4.5.16]

Got a message from Andrew, this will be fixed in future build, thanks

[sending projection freezes 4.5.16]

Here's a video , in first 15 seconds I use 4.5.16 and it freezes when I move camera inside the structure, in last 15 seconds I do the same in 4.5.06 and everything is fine

 

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/415738/coat.mp4

 

and scene from video is attached

 

Do I need create a bug on Mantis or write to support?

[sending projection freezes 4.5.16]

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a simple model, my usual workflow includes detail pass in Photoshop via projection painting.

 

When I send to PS wide shot of the scene (yep.jpg) everything works fine , but if I move camera closely to the object (nope.jpg), 4.5.16 freezes.

 

4.5.06 works fine i both instances.

 

Scene is attached. I'm on OSX. Is there a problem with my object or what's going on there?

 

Thanks

[New brush stroke intersection mode should be optional]

Why wont you use Airbrush tool instead of Brush tool? It gradually gains thickness instead of painting by layers (like Brush tool)

 

 

I personally think brush tool was broken in 4.1 and works properly in 4.5

[unhiding paint objects unhides hidden geometry]

Hey,

 

 

1) I hide some polygons with Hide Poly Tool

2) I unhide painting object

3) My hidden polygons become visible too

 

Is this a bug or intentional behaviour?

 

 

[Texture Projection size/multiplier]

Is this a bug or did this option went somewhere else?
