Hi all,

Simple3DCoat addon is for Blender+3DCoat production. This is a fork of the official one made by Haikaikalle .

Blender 2.93+

3DCoat4+

 

Features:

• Set the Exchange Folder of 3DCoat manually.
• Custom Textures Path for export/import.
• Export/Import through Obj/Fbx formats.
• ExportMaterials, ApplyModifiers checkboxes.
• No PBR Materials support. Sorry.
• Simple to Use

 

Screenshots:

 

 

 

How To Use:

- Enable the Addon and set the Exchange Folder.

- Export/Import models back and forth.

Is there a way to get this to work?

I've tried both the default add-on, and this one, on both Windows 7 and Mac, and neither one of them do what I thought it would do.

It does export the model to the directory I selected, but it does NOT launch 3d-coat.

Am I missing some sort of setting that needs to be changed in 3d-coat itself?

3dcoat need to be opened first

As @carlosan said you need to open 3DCoat.

And Exchange directory should be set correctly. In Windows it should be "Documents/3DCoatV4/Exchange". And you should save Exchange directory with Ctrl+U. I'll make a video tutorial soon.

Yes, a video tutorial would be great, because I always have problems getting addons to work.

Well, I sort of got it working.

I found that the choice I was making, voxel primitive, didn't seem to work, no matter whether 3D-coat was opened, closed, whatever, even though all I had open in blender was the default cube.

It will export the .obj, but nothing shows up in 3D-Coat if you make that choice.

If I choose pixel painting, it works well though.

Do I have to clear the model out of the folder to export another model?

 

I also couldn't seem to get it to work completely with other voxel settings, and the scaling of the object in 3D-Coat seems to vary with what choice you make for export, which seemed weird, should be the same .obj I would think.

Possibly this will help you:

This was working for me in Blender 2.69 but here on the eve of 2.70 (2.69.11 is precisely my build) - Simple is no longer working for me, but the original applink does still. I'm on Windows 8 64bit using 3D Coat 4.0.16

I have 2.69.11 Linux build. All works ok. Do you get any error when press "ExportObjects"?

- Make sure you set Exchange folder in the addon settings.

Hi!

Texture patch is set ?

 

Exchange folder is set the full path ?

C:\Users\User\Documents\3D-CoatV4\Exchange\

[KennyLoggins]

All I'm getting is "No selected objects or bad excange folder!!!" Exchange folder is set and I tried removing every UV-map, material, texture, vertex group and armature and still the same message. 

 

If I start a new project and export the 'default-cube' it works OK.
