I have v20 installed. "msi installer?"-----if this means my VERY up to date Microsoft XP Pro version and whatever--I mean right up to date stuff! is at fault--I suggest the problem is not mine.

Contributor bwtr Posted October 9, 2008 Contributor Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 I deleted the Alpha/betaV20 version from my computer and closed down /restarted. I did a fresh download of the, supposedly, V24 version. The re-installation still reads V20? Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member ghib Posted October 9, 2008 Advanced Member Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Even for standart color brushing? Or Vs only? I sometimes think that these things are in my imagination. But both standard colour brushing and VS work are definately much smoother to work with. My main testing has been with colour brushing. I loaded up my old toad test model, imported a displacement texture as depth on a layer then turned on ..more on cavity.. and it is definately much smoother, on both my work machine and my laptop. good job.

Advanced Member Deadman21 Posted October 9, 2008 Advanced Member Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 TOXE, it is interesting, does Render works on OSX? Andrew It does not render on my Mac Pro running 10.5.5, Nvidia 7300 256meg video card, 2 gigs ram. It looks like its trying to do something, you can see the model fade away then nothing. I get the same behavior on my Dell XPS with an Nvidia 7950 1 gig card, 4 gigs of ram. I think TOXE has an Nvidia 8800 card so Im curious if his renders.

Advanced Member TOXE Posted October 9, 2008 Advanced Member Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Render seems work fine:-) What do you think? It's super fast i've tried also with a 20,000 rays value on AO -TOXE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member TOXE Posted October 9, 2008 Advanced Member Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 AO 20,000 Light scattering 50 work fine, but could be nice to have a render bar progress.

Taros Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Very nice. Feature request: Render Passes And before I forget it: It would be very nice to have simple render passes, like Alpha, Beauty, Specular etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pressing Esc at this value seems not working very well -TOXE Cool!!! Rendering is constant, more waiting - better quality. AO>100 does not helps. Amount of rays is proportional to rendering time. AO means distribution between directional light and AO. What means that ESC works badly? Does it works at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Shpagin Posted October 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 V25 is uploaded.

There is "Multicore" and "Show info" checkers - you can compare speed. 2) New brush - Build - for faster building volume. 3) Multiple bugfixes/small improvements Enjoy!

Advanced Member jaf Posted October 9, 2008 Advanced Member Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 I don't think the render works on my computer (maybe I'm not waiting long enough, though there's almost zero 3D-Coat activity looking at the task manager.) The model fades and I get a white screen with a title bar. I have to kill the 3D-Coat process to exit. [EDIT] I forgot about Esc. Pressing Escape does quit the render without having to kill the process. Also, from readng some posts here, I get the impression I should be able to start sculpt and click "To Polygons" and then do a File|Export (obj or lws). I always get the grayed out obj/lws export with the standard message about program limitations. Maybe I'm not understanding what should or shouldn't work (I'm writing this on a friends computer that doesn't have 3D-Coat, so it's from memory.)

Thanks Andrew, ok, AO not helps, but higher values of light scatter increase render time right? So ESC don't work immediately using for example value 50 of LS. -TOXE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
