Has anyone else been getting 3d-coat crashes after undoing the pose tool in the sculpt room? Happens every time for me.

 

edit: looks like it's dependent on how many vox layers you're using, as a new file doesn't crash, just the existing one I'm using.

Consider a CUDA or VRAM limitation. Converting volumes to proxy might help.

[alvordr]

That's a good point.  Cache higher-res layers when they're not in use.

Great, an updated Linux version, now to take it for a test run.

Hi Tser

Your post about autopo issues was splited here:

Btw, in gdrive folder - there is masks.rar and materials.3dcpack. It is not beta! It is alpha or tech demo - only for those who is ready to risk! I renew it almost daily. So if you still want - download, unrar, overwrite installation folder and look. Keep backup of Docs/3D-CoatV4/patterns folder.

 

And it is not for announcements anywhere.

there is a new build btw

 

masks.rar - uncompressed to 3DC folder

materials.3dcpack - installed as extension

 

open the new file 3D-CoatDX64SF.exe

 

This were your steps ?

Surface PBR Paint must be done using the new PBR shader

I exported a test model with roughness and metal maps from 3D Coat , it works great in Unreal 4

Good job on the PBR and it's very easy to use within 3D coat.

This new PBR system looks amazing!

 

From what I was able to try out, it's a breath of fresh air. It's truly fantastic work . In all honesty, between voxels, UVing, UV tiles, retopology, cubic projection... and now PBR, 3dcoat is one of my favorite 3d tools ever. Keep up the great work!

Sorry, this may sound like a stupid question, but is PBR in the current build, because I can't find it.

Not stupid.

 

It's an alpha build, the file you need is in google drive and requires a little bit of manual work. Here's a quick guide:

 

 

Here are the instructions on getting/using the beta. There is no proper installer yet, so you'll need to do some manual actions.

You'll need:

• To backup any of your existing presets, layout, and other custom stuff before attempting this or running the alpha build
• 3DC 4.1.17D installed
• Download 'masks.rar' from here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B_SttA137fidZmljODdfUm9qdHc&usp=sharing#list

 

Here's what to do:

• Copy the entire installation folder of 4.1.17D to a new folder (name is unimportant, just remember what you call it)
• Extract the contents of 'masks.rar' into this new copied folder
• Replace all extracted contents of 'masks.rar' when prompted
• Run 3D-CoatDX64SF.exe, this is the alpha build

 

PBR Viewport shading uses environment maps, which can be changed from the Camera menu. Anything that says "Environment" relates to this function. To create PBR Materials, open the PBR Materials panel (it might not be named that in the build, it could still be called "Stamps" fwiw) and click "New", you'll be prompted with the new PBR Material Editor window.
