Contributor BeatKitano Posted March 1, 2013 Contributor Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 I'll be doing a live sculpt of a xenomorph with the new 3dcoat beta tonight (12b), mainly for testing and showcasing Artman's presets (which are pretty cool).If you wanna tag along: http://fr.twitch.tv/beatkitanoI'll announce the time on my twitter: https://twitter.com/BeatKitanoThis is not self promotion (nothing to sell), just trying to chat with some users and hopefully not witness any showstopper bug like it happened before 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contributor BeatKitano Posted March 1, 2013 Author Contributor Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 This will be recorded by twitch (if all goes well). Don't expect quality work though, I usually don't do well with people looking over my shoulder (I do this for Artman who wants to see those brushes in action on better hardware).

Contributor BeatKitano Posted March 1, 2013 Author Contributor Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Uh oh... I guess that was the crash part right ? (I wasn't following this thread while streaming). And tnx for the music, even though I'm not sure everyoen enjoyed it ahah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javis Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Yeah the uh oh was during the crash. Glad it was recovered (your sculpt). Thanks for streaming while you worked, it was a pleasure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor BeatKitano Posted March 1, 2013 Author Contributor Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 My conclusion with that particular sculpt (not a complex one, 2 objects total): Hide but current bug is still there The app still crashes, but during the test it wasn't that bad, but file corruption on failure is not ok (even if it tells you to save on another file, in this case holes appeared, and I could tell right away because the cursor felt sluggish over the surface) imo. I still struggle with overlaping strokes (the xeno lips show at the begining, I can't get a smooth curved surface easily), stroke quality really needs an improvement in that area. The performance got a really huge boost, curiously though I get a delay when switching between tools, I don't know if it's the capture software interfering, I'll have to test offline to confirm as I'll continue this sculpt tomorrow. That was a nice experience, but again the model is simple and I didn't use resym. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contributor artman Posted March 2, 2013 Contributor Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Thanx!! It was cool! I noticed one the crash happened right after you minimized,changed a song and then restored...maybe it is related. It is worth investigating this as I didn't get any crashes so far. also when you tweak the shoulder with large move brush (for which RemoveStretching was completely useless (my fault,since its embeded in prestes) I noticed base of jaw was affected too and at that moment I think Removestreching+Symmetry is what caused the holes at the center of the inner mouth,I know for a fact Removestreching+Symmetry when using move brush some weid angle or cross trough geometry can create unhealthy assymetries. I'll change it so user have 2 presets Move and MoveClay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor BeatKitano Posted March 2, 2013 Author Contributor Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 I didn't particularly think about what caused that crash+corruption, but I'll bear those remarks in mind and avoid doing that to see if I still get those issues.

Member Veleman Posted March 2, 2013 Member Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Hi BeatKitano, I've just watched your xeno sculpt on twitchtv. Pretty cool stuff.!!! I am fairly new and also very excited with 3dcoat capabilities and i did manage to find artman's presets somewhere in the forum but in your video I can see you have many more presets loaded. Can you include a zip with these presets so i can get them and experement with them too? Thanks in advance. P.s : Sorry for the bad grammar, english is not my native language.

Contributor BeatKitano Posted March 2, 2013 Author Contributor Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 You'll have to wait a bit to get them as Artman will probably release them himself (he made a few changes this very day). Ask him maybe he'll give them to you (I won't give them because it's his baby, I hope you understand ^^) BTW they're MUCH better than what you see in the video since those shown were altered prior to beta 12b, for various reason, as I forgot to reset them for the stream.

Member Veleman Posted March 2, 2013 Member Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Oh my bad ! ! I thought that he already released them and I just wasn't able to find the new version of them on the forum. I will wait until he puts them out for us. ! Thanks for the quick reply though, i really appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor digman Posted March 2, 2013 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 I noticed that 3DCoat crashes sometimes when you use screen sharing as it happens when I'm using Skype screen sharing as well. Others users that share their screen with me have the same problem. It seldom happens but it could be the screen sharing because I am working a method at the time of the crash that normally I never have a problem with. Just a heads up on a possible other reason for 3DCoat crashing when you were screen sharing yesterday... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor BeatKitano Posted March 2, 2013 Author Contributor Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 I got a crash the day before this stream, offline. While this could be a reason for this time this is not the cause of all the crashes unfortunately (cause that would be simple to solve then ) I think Artman's is onto something with removestretching+ move in large radius. As far as I recall I often (always ?) had crashes soon after using the move tool. I still expect crashes anyway since this afternoon after using clay I got explosion on mesh, which I noticed right away and then closed the file immediately (undoing is not safe either). I would gladly install a monitoring process for Andrew regarding those issues, because while the experience is still a bit rough around the edges in some areas, overall it feels pretty solid. Unfortunately he already told me it wasn't possible (too much operations going all the time to find what's ticking). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor digman Posted March 2, 2013 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Oh yeah, it is for sure not the cause of all crashes. The loading of LWO files causes the Linux version of 3DC to crash at least on my computer. I do agreed that as Andrew keeps plugging away that version 4 is getting more stable. I was watchng the stream off and on, can back and oops you were gone... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor BeatKitano Posted March 3, 2013 Author Contributor Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Ahah, yeah sorry, the days was rough and I was planning to stop before midnight, I announced the end in the channel but if you were hopping in and out you may have missed it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member alvordr Posted March 5, 2013 Advanced Member Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Super cool sculpt. Do you plan on taking it further? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor BeatKitano Posted March 5, 2013 Author Contributor Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 I'll finish the sculpt if that's what you mean. I enjoy sculpting, using the sculpt for something else is work and I've enough of that already But since I'll not do anything with it, if my bandwith allow, I'll post the scene file here when it's done, in case anyone wants to do something with it.

Contributor ajz3d Posted March 8, 2013 Contributor Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Well, you said A, so you gotta say B. You produced us a superb model and we're most excited to see it textured and brought to life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
