Shaders Preview Info!

For anyone who wants to make his own shaders preview:

In Program Files\3D-Coat-V4\ToolsPresets\ there are two OBJ files. The PreviewObjectCenter.obj is a grey sphere, and the PreviewObject.obj is the shader.

Create your own and try it. Keep the scale the same as in those files!

That's it :)

P.S. Share it with the community, and the BEST one may be included to the distributive!

I like the new shader previews. Everyone has different tastes, so here is my vote for keeping it as is. Definite improvement over what was there previously.

Updated to RC01 (Win, Mac, Linux), excuse version number was not changed

- Several UI tweaks: shader right free space removed, default windows placement adjusted a bit, UV preview window in retopo/uv room.

- updated default brushes/strips/materials/masks set

- fill tool lines mode problem fixed

- LC like tool upper range of details changed from 3 to 5

- little fixes from mantis

I hope it is final version, official public release will be tomorrow (I hope). Please don't post that news publicly worldwide till official release.

Does v4 completely nullify the license for v3? I would like to keep my v3 installed for complete compatibility purposes.

If ever, I assume you cant run v3 and v4 on different machines at the same time since its an upgraded license.

Can I ask 1 thing? This is a simple feature request, but most of developers ignore it. Can you please update open file dialog to the lateset version? It's as simple as setting AutoUpgradeEnabled property in OpenFileDialog call but can improve file workflow greatly. I got a complex folder structure in my project and I use Featured group alot to quickly access the needed destinations, but with the old dialog it takes me AGES to open something because I can't jump there directly.

Ok, I forwarded request to system programmer.

Has the access to the license server changed? in RC01

T.

If you mean floating server - yes, you need to download and install new one

It supports both V3 and V4

I have to admit. I don't particularly like the new shader previews, my self. This was my first reaction, but I gave it a couple of days to get used to and I find that they don't give me enough visual information to see what I'm going to get. Perhaps if I could change the size of the previews, this might help. As it is, I have 3 similar rock shaders I made that I now can't tell the difference between, due to the new shader preview.

However, I just recalled someone on here saying to hit "refresh" on them. I now get to enjoy the spherical preview we had before.

The only thing I would change is making the big grey part in the middle shader colored instead of grey. I don't understand why the grey part is even there.

Woo hoo!

Just upgraded to V4 Pro.

Thank you for such a reasonable upgrade price Andrew!

When I bought 3D Brush for $70 dollars back in 2007 I thought it looked like such an amazing tool and such incredible value.

Over 5 years later and I still can not believe my luck. I count 3D Coat as one of the best purchases I have ever made and it just keeps on getting better and better!

I have made my money back countless times over thanks to 3D Coats ease of use and intuitive workflow.

As long as you continue to make this tool, I will be your loyal customer. :)

Best Wishes to you, your family and the Pilgway team.
