Member JulesD Posted January 8, 2009 Member Share Posted January 8, 2009 Can not merge, select mesh and press enter to put object in scene in Volumetric Tools with Cuda on, but when I turn Cuda off it works. Ambient Light not working properly in Volumetric mode.(In 64 bit DirectX) Quadrangulate and Paint freezes at 99% When Millions of polygons (Intermidiate) is set to 0.5-Quadrangulate messes up.At a certain point.(Use dino and view the top of both legs,his right leg is a bit messed up.

Advanced Member akira Posted January 9, 2009 Advanced Member Share Posted January 9, 2009 Ambient Light not working properly in Volumetric mode. That's the way it's supposed to be. http://3dbrush.kriska.hvosting.net/forum/i...ost&p=12782 If you want to know how the shaders were born: http://3dbrush.kriska.hvosting.net/forum/i...post&p=9139 Link to comment https://3dcoat.com/forum/index.php?/topic/1412-3d-coat-30-alpha/page/146/#findComment-13402 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member stevecullum Posted January 9, 2009 Advanced Member Share Posted January 9, 2009 Thought I would try sculpting something from scratch for the first time. (Usually use a base mesh). Fast and fun Some issues - When using symmetry mode, I get holes in the geometry with some operations - curve tools ect... and as with Jules D, merging isn't working. I tried making a quadrangle from it, but we need some way to control the areas to receive more loops. (Around eyes, mouth, nose etc...) Overall, volumetric sculpting rocks!

Contributor artman Posted January 11, 2009 Contributor Share Posted January 11, 2009 alpha48 I think all my majors 3dc problems come from the interaction between my quadrofx 1700 and the cuda beta driver.Strangely toggling cuda on/off would not help resolving the issues but, now that I installed the latest nvidia driver for my card I can say: I'm having my greatest 3DCoat experience since I started.performance and fps is a little less empowering without cuda but the overall stability is greatly improved. Doesn't feel alpha at all. issues resolved 1-no more 30sec-1min freezing on every actions when toggling perspective/orthogonal 2-(still problematic)cutting with e panel works as well as alpha 47 now but strangely,only in perspective mode in ortho most of the cuts do nothing I think I installed 48simple and I was still having problemss so, it means that for me most of my problems were in the interaction between quadrofx 1700 and the cuda beta driver 2.1. Maybe it can help others with same problems if any Link to comment https://3dcoat.com/forum/index.php?/topic/1412-3d-coat-30-alpha/page/146/#findComment-13479 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member stevecullum Posted January 11, 2009 Advanced Member Share Posted January 11, 2009 Which driver number do I need? - I got an FX1700 also, but I'm using the beta driver still.

Contributor artman Posted January 11, 2009 Contributor Share Posted January 11, 2009 Don't change if you don't have any problems. I had some problems that installing latest nvidia driver instead of cuda 2.1 solved but that meant loosing cuda power.So my advice is just change if you got same problems as me.

Ah.. I had misread you original message. I thought you had found a non-beta cuda enabled driver. I do have a few issues, but so far I can work around them, so I'll leave things alone for now. Cheers.

Advanced Member kay_Eva Posted January 12, 2009 Advanced Member Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hey andrew will 3d coat ever have a polygon modeler inside, with such advanced retopo, you might as well throw that in there =) Link to comment https://3dcoat.com/forum/index.php?/topic/1412-3d-coat-30-alpha/page/146/#findComment-13499 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Eric Dandoy Posted January 12, 2009 Advanced Member Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hey andrew will 3d coat ever have a polygon modeler inside, with such advanced retopo, you might as well throw that in there =) Yes, indeed. I guess it has not been planned for the 3.0 release, but I think that a basic modeller could be really useful for some adjustments of the models without the need to export it in other apps (what i'm doing now using Silo). 3D-Coat 4.0 will rock!

Advanced Member kay_Eva Posted January 12, 2009 Advanced Member Share Posted January 12, 2009 Yes and if you have a Lightwave mode or XSI mode or Blender mode for the hotkeys I think a lot of people would just model in here :lol: but yes that's for 4.0 or something Link to comment https://3dcoat.com/forum/index.php?/topic/1412-3d-coat-30-alpha/page/146/#findComment-13511 Share on other sites More sharing options...

philnolan3d Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I think nVidia just updated the driver and 3DC will have to be updated to work with it.
