V4.5 BETA (experimental)

[BurrMan 13]

Ok, found a couple negative values in the navigation customization that reversed the RMB zoom....

 

Still not sure about the scroll wheel zoom action....

[BurrMan 13]

Yup, never mind... Got it sorted out......

Why is the Beta build 19 using the folder name "3D CoatV45" rather than "3D Coat 4.5?"

I mean 3D Coat V4.5

4.5 BETA20:

- "Save as new" button in material editor.

- Freeze tool in paint room supports pen pressure and tapering in all paint modes.

- PBR materials replaced with Smart materials in texts

- Fixed lasso painting in ppp with symmetry - artifacts was very probable.

- fixed picker of gloss/metalness in vertex paint mode

- Roughness correctly shown in Texture editor.

- Roughness/Metalness set as default approach

- Fixed migration master to be copy all marked information correctly.

Thanks for the fixing those, and 'save as' for material editor! I will test it today.

I am having a weird thing happen with the installer for 4.5.20. It's all in French.

 

 

 

EDIT: It's not just the installer, it's also all of 3D-Coat's UI.

Maybe you used Migration tool too much. 

[Javis 524]

lol. Maybe so!

I am having very different result for shadows in Render room in 3DC GL version to compare with 3DC DX. Here is the realtime render of  GL version (please note the shadow artifacts in center part of the object):

 

 

Here is the DX version. Everything looks fine:

The shader list next to Voxel tree has dropped a few of the old shaders.....  Can anyone speak to how to retrieve those?

[BurrMan 13]

From what I can gather the new shaders folders have 5 extra files along with the 2 tga files. The old shaders folders just have the 2 tga files.....

[Carlosan 2,560]

About shaders:

We removed many shaders to concentrae attention on PBR, but if some shaders are really important, I may restore.

 

 

Working folder changed, so at first glance it looks like data blown away, but iy is kept in old 3D-CoatV4 folder to be used with previous version.

New data is in 3D-CoatV45 folder.

It is generally more safe way of transition.

Use Help > Migration Master.

Can we get an icon + tool tips for VoxRay, and tool tips for all the Live Clay brushes before releasing 4.5? It seems rather un-polished to leave some half-finished tools occupying space in the UI...not to mention frustrating for new and even experienced users to see and have to guess at what it is/does.

 

CopyClay is a good example. There is almost no way to determine on your own how it is supposed to work...at least not fully. Now that Raul is in the US, can he add the tool-tips for the release?

[BurrMan 13]

Thanks for the info carlosan,

    Can you speak to loading some of those old ones in? For instance "Dirty Stone" I can find in the old folders, however just loading that folder (with 2 tga's in it) doesn't show up in the list.

 

I added the 5 files from one of the current shaders and it shows, though those 5 files are obviously config files and the shader doesn't display properly.

 

I've seen some other users screenshots with all the old shaders loaded. Did they just rebuild them manually?

[Carlosan 2,560]

at this location there are the old shaders

C:\Users\user\Documents\3D-CoatV4\Shaders\Custom

 

if not, please uncompress this zip there

I think this bug's been buzzing around for a while, but in the beta, when you copy an image and paste it into the Color Palette, the colours are all wonky. Looks like blue and red are reversed or something. Loading an image works ok, just C+P is strange.

In the last BETA doesn't work the most regimes of degree in the smart material properties. On preview mode (i mean the sphere preview) everything is fine, but on the model and on Smart material preview doesn't work.((

 

Update: Hmm ..Everything is OK for premade models. But on my model it is not working. Tool doesn't feel sharp edges and paint it entirely

What OS? I tried on Win and all works as expected.

Is this the only visual artifact that you have in GL mode? Are there any warnings/errors when building shaders on your system in the file “This PC/Documents/3D-CoatV45/Log.txt”? Do you see the same artifact in “Render” mode on standard voxel models from startup dialog?

You already know the answer to that question don, it's in the queue. It's also my task, not Raul's.

Yes, there are only GL version shadows artifacts. This is hard to say if there are shadows artifacts on standard models but shadow is definitely different in DX and GL 3DC versions. Here is the log.txt file for GL version attached.

Andrew, i sent you model.

I'm on Mac OS X 10.9.5. I tried some other tests and it seems to work OK from some sources (e.g. copying an image from Evernote), but if I copy and paste an image from Safari or Firefox (e.g. google images) I get reversed colour issue. Pasting the same clipboard to Photoshop looks as expected.

[BurrMan 13]

Hi Carlosan,

    Yes, I have the entire list of old shaders in my old folders. They are aslo in the new 45 folder. I think my issue is my install is reading from program files folder... If I put the shader in that folder structure, it will only appear if I add the other five files from one of the existing shaders in that program files folder....

 

I've added the environment variable and also a text file in my installation root (Instructed in the save theme dialogue) to my user documents, but my install continues to read the program files folder...

 

Not sure what's up..

I have been trying out the Beta20 Linux version and it looks like the "trial" bug in the window header is back.  It appeared after I registered my license, don't know exactly how fast it showed up but it was pretty quick.
