Carlosan Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Mantis request open, any +1 appreciated http://3d-coat.com/mantis/view.php?id=1075 Actually the term baking is used instead of merging. To rename it is more than adequate to new users, and comprehensive to the old ones. ty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member popwfx Posted April 3, 2013 Advanced Member Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Good, maybe people can explain to me what merging is anyway. I've been using 3DC for a couple years now (admittedly just for UV, Retopo, Painting, & texture baking - but not sculpting) and this whole "Do you want to merge" when switching rooms or various tasks like importing meshes has been confusing to me. I know a couple of people tried to explain it to me here before, and I'm in no way new to 3D, but I could not understand what 3DCoat was trying to do when it says it wants to merge. And if you guys say baking, what do you mean exactly? Do you mean texture baking? Because that is totally clear --> take a high res model & transfer or bake its textures to a low res (or different) mesh. If there is more than one kind of baking you should specify that too. This whole merging thing of 3DCoat has been the only area of the program I don't fully grok. (that being said, 3DC is still one of my favorite media apps!)
