Since 3d coat aspires to be a premium 3d paint program it should have procedural noise generators

I agree. Procedurals are a must. Maybe this pass, as Andrew is working on the Paint room and tools.

Good news. There's hope then.

Is there any place we can see this to-do list so we don't keep accidentally bringing up things that are on there, or is it more effective that we do so anyways because that shows our interest in that feature?

Bingo on the latter. The list is in Andrew's head, sometimes he tells us his plans (for example procedurals, or a nodal shading system, or multi-UV support), but most of the time it's locked away in his skull.

 

It's a good idea to just voice concern for what you want, Andrew really does listen to users, so the more voices for improvements and/or features, the more likely it is we'll see that feature.

Thanks Javis!

I would like to see this taken one step further and into procedural brushes. 

Imagine a stone crack brush that varies on every stroke or stamp.

Which could, by definition, be done with a procedural noise generator.

 

In my case, I'm not even worried about Nodals.... A first step would be- well, all the procedurals from Steve Worley's old book....

The procedure atm is

 

working in surface mode, switch to Paint Room

 

Use fill tool, create a custom modulation type adding any texture

 

Fill w/Freeze = ON, apply over the layer

 

back to sculpt mode

 

apply noise tool

 

veeeeeeeeery convoluted :P

 

noise tool need more love for sure ;D
