Reputable Contributor digman Posted September 3, 2012 Reputable Contributor Share Posted September 3, 2012 This post was recognized by Carlosan! digman was awarded the badge 'Helpful' and 1 points. I thought I repost the link to Taros's video tutorial on " How to start to painting outside mesh borders" for all the newer users of 3DCoat. What that means is that you can start your paint stroke outside the mesh and when the stroke hits the mesh, the paint is applied... The object is not rotated. It is a very useful feature. Thanks for the tutorial again, Chris... http://3dcoat.blogsp...tion-paint.html You can watch the whole tutorial or jump to 4:00 to see how it works and get the information you need to set it up yourself... The video can be downloaded from Taros's blog... The first part of the video is just showing a problem that was fixed quite awhile ago. "When you need to rotate the mesh object,hold down your ALT key in combination with your left mouse button or tablet pen" Edit: It is not limited to just the paint room but can be used in voxel / surface mode as well because it is a custom preset navigation setup..

Advanced Member popwfx Posted April 20, 2013 Advanced Member Share Posted April 20, 2013 Thank you for this post and thank you to Taros for making the video, it was very helpful as I hadn't used the navi-setup screen before to adjust painting starting outside the mesh!

Member Zafio Posted May 23, 2015 Member Share Posted May 23, 2015 (edited) Hi! Video link is dead and couldn't contact Taros yet. Any chance anyone can explain or give a hint about how to setup 3DCoat to paint outside mesh borders? Thanks.

Javis Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Hi, Taros is on vacation at the moment. To paint outside of mesh borders go to the Camera button on the top right corner of the 3D viewport, then customize. Find the control for navigating with the only the LMB, and delete it. Since there is already an event for this nav with Alt+LMB you can still navigate. Hit ok and paint, Souls perform as you're wanting it to without navigating.

Member Zafio Posted May 23, 2015 Member Share Posted May 23, 2015 (edited) Thanks Javis! Although it isn't what I expected. Unless I did something wrong, it won't paint until the center of the cursor reaches the object, and I would like the brush to start painting as soon as the "outer side" of the brush reaches the mesh, like this: So question is, is it possible? if not, should I add this to Mantis requests? (couldn't find anything like it) Edited May 23, 2015 by Zafio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javis Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Ahh, I see now. Yes that would make a great feature. If you could add it to Mantis that would be cool. I'll get it assigned to Andrew after it's posted, just put the link here. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
