Javis 524 Report post Posted July 19, 2015 Works alright for me. I'm on an older version of the nvidia drivers. Version 340.52. When the new raytraced AO baker is implemented, could we please leave the old/current Light array method in there as an option? That would be cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ajz3d 786 Report post Posted July 19, 2015 I tried everything I could think of. deleting all the config files in the MyDocs/3D Coat 4.5 directory. Same problem. Clean install of the newest NVidia driver. Then the one you were using. It's been a waste of about an hour, chasing down a solution Damn, I'm sorry to hear this.

Michaelgdrs 742 Report post Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) Is there any chance that this version has a memory leak or something similar? Whatever i try to open that used the new AO is eating the memory rapidly and 3d coat hangs up along with my workstation.

red2blue 3 Report post Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) If I try to do a AO calculation with the new version and OpenCL, I get the following error. This window then pops up 3-4 times and after that 3d-coat crashes. The CPU calculation works fine. Edited July 20, 2015 by red2blue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taros 370 Report post Posted July 20, 2015 Some first statements of mine after new AO routine tests with the default voxel character. I have autopologized him. Later I have reorganized the uvs manually. The first results of version 4.5.07: - AO Calculation much faster (very good). - Quality "unfortunately" the same like before. No improvements here. Gaps are calculated bright, why? (See screenshot) - Normalmap recalculation artefacts after UV adjustments. It depends on the models you use, but the quality could be a bit better. Overall it is a good improvement. The calculation speed is worth to take a look at 3D-Coats AO routine yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taros 370 Report post Posted July 20, 2015 Ok. Then this is a misunderstanding on my side. Sorry. I guess it will be better with raytraced ambient occlusion later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Windows 10 64Bit. Back off of the latest NVidia drivers, I had the same problem. Go back one version. I too am on Windows 10. @Andrew At work I first tried the older NVidia drivers but they crash hard on this Windows 10 install. So I had to go with the new drivers, funny thing is that 4.5.0.7 is working fine with the new drivers and Windows 10. What is different is that here at work I'm using a GTX 780Ti and and home I'm using the GTX 970. Edited July 20, 2015 by unity2k Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

philnolan3d 261 Report post Posted July 21, 2015 Doing a little auto retopo on a project and I notice when I use the Hard Surface option especially with Smooth Resulting Mesh on, it makes an awful mess of the polygons. I'm not sure if this is new, I've never really tried the Hard Surface option before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boonta 4 Report post Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) ugh ok cheers AbnRanger. seems like a cool feature to have. similar to editing alpha's etc in zbrush. Well i put a mantis request in so hopefully it will get addressed in the future. I really hope paintroom will get a solid pass on it soon. There is still a long way to go and substance painter is fast catching up. Freezing is still messed up in PBR viewport. cant hide the mask or remove the harsh black visual look. viewpoint rendering improvements, brushes, adjustments etc. ive been documenting improvments/bugs here throw in your suggestions AbnRanger/others if u have any: Paintroom Improvements/Bugs: http://3d-coat.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=14837 Edited July 21, 2015 by Boonta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
