Andrew Shpagin Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Maybe a small thing but greatly appreciated here: Andrew added depth enabled pbr shader. I was very pleased to have smooth shading from the get go in 3dcoat (cause in zbrush you need to subdivide to get free of faceting) but sometimes it's easier to sculpt with flatshading. With pbr depth shader you can do that. So thanks One small request: Is it possible to have realtime rotation of the env with lock disabled ? I like to have my models "locked" in the scene but would love to be able to rotate the environnement lighting around for previsualisation purpose. Right now I can unfortunately I need to release the mouse button to see the changes. I know it's not the intended purpose of pbr but sculpting with a good setup and realistic lighting conditions break the fourth wall. It makes sculpting much more enjoyable, you don't feel like you're working on something completely artificial When designing characters the new lighting system makes grasping the shapes much easier and you don't make as much mistake as you would because the light is closer to what you'd expect to see irl. It's hard to describe but every sculpting software should have that by default, it's so much better. Thanks! Ok, done the refresh in Lock panorama mode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor ajz3d Posted January 17, 2015 Contributor Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 BETA5 BETA6. Putting paint layers into folder makes their glossiness and metalness and specular colour disappear. Fortunately, removing them from the folder makes those two three channels reappear. http://3d-coat.com/mantis/view.php?id=1724 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Shpagin Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 I just checked, and some of my old bug reports are still open, so I'm just going to drop my notes/bug reports here. I apologise, but I won't put more work into it, as that just leads to me being dissapointed when it ends up being ignored. -The Fill Tool's 'colour tolerance' only works for the diffuse/albedo channel. While the name does seem to imply this, it should at least work on the other channels when you're displaying those directly (like when pressing 3 for Gloss only) -The 'Glossiness Brightness' slider in the Layer Blending panel doesn't have an effect. -The 'Contrast' slider in the Layer Blending panel should probably go to -1? Right now we have to type it in. Clone Stamp problems: -Gloss&Spec channels paint transparancy (like when your source-point is on the edge of the mesh) as black. The colour channel correctly leaves this transparent. -The colour channel always ends up being brighter than the source! -Transform/Copy tool's preview is extremely bright. The tool does appear to work correctly, it's just the preview of what you're going to stamp. -Spline Image Tool only has inputs for Depth, Color and Glossiness textures. Depending on workflow, it's missing Specular or Metalness. And currently it paints the 'glossiness' texture into the metalness map, and paints black in the gloss channel. -I had some issues with freezing, but haven't tried to reproduce them in Beta 5 yet. If I do, I'll update this or make a new post.:Undo sometimes freezes random parts, but only when I've used freeze in the file previously and unfrozen everything again. (I tried,and can't reproduce it. If it happens again I'll let you know) -Colourpicking (v) doesn't pick up metalness. EDIT: changing sliders in the Layer Blending panel doesn't work with undo/redo. Edit: As shown here, using the lasso (or other shapes) Stroke Mode results in only a small sliver around the edge of the shape being painted. The PBR Material Preview shows what it should have looked like. Thanks for feedback, working over it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contributor BeatKitano Posted January 17, 2015 Contributor Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Andrew, is it me or the lock concept of panorama is broken ? I mean I can only rotate about 180° of the whole panorama. Making some setup impossible (main light facing the scene for instance). Btw if using "not locked" mode and switching to vertical gradient rotating the env map is not possible anymore, while in locked mode it is. Can you make it possible in both ? Sometimes you just want the lighting and not be distracted by the photos. Btw other issue, I must add that I mainly work with sculpts directly so that may work with proper uv mapped models: Picker doesn't get the glossiness/metalness parameters. While it did in the past with regular specularity. Also another issue I encounter and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one: sometimes I fill a part with a pbr mat, and want to use the same mat on another part: I can't remember which mat I used. Is there a possibility that you add an indicator somehow to the used mat while using picker ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member JoseConseco Posted January 18, 2015 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 I is just me, or preview is broken now for most of pbr maetrials? Texures are not rendered in preview. Also this orange wood shader looks bit weird on model, compared to reference ball. But maybe it is just matter of mesh difference.

Andrew Shpagin Posted January 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Problems with the normal map. That's screenshots 154651365478.png161576368664.pngYou may send file to support. But it is better if sharp edge of knife will get split normals, othervice angle between normals will be big and 8-bit/channel normalmaps will suffer.

We can now use it to properly break or reorganize painted pbr details across model. Also Layer Blending modulations all work on export now!! (for users who did not notice,previously all layer blending modulations to glossiness would not find their way into the map on export. It only affected glossiness display from inside 3DC....was really important to fix imo.) edit:awesome !! Layer folders comaptibility with glossiness/metalness fixed too. (you forgot to add it to beta7 fixes list) Its getting really close to a solid 4.5 build. now almost only Clip masking issue missing....do you have idea how to fix? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ to other users: I cannot use the Transform gizmo inside the PBR preview window. Preview disappear or is displayed wrongly if I use gizmo instead of nav bar or if mouse/stylus cursor enter pbr preview widow while scaling/moving using the nav bar.

Advanced Member jamie Posted January 19, 2015 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) New PBR features are awesome. Some suggestions for new PBR Editor: Drag/drop maps between channels - often diffuse/depth/spec etc use the same map. Depth slider should go negative or have other options (subtract/replace/etc) PBR window doesn't hold it's position - jumps to screen center when new options resize the dialog. Auto-seamless on texture maps - either by mirroring or edge blend e.g. http://registry.gimp.org/node/28112 Edited January 19, 2015 by jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a possibility that you add an indicator somehow to the used mat while using picker ? Now it is "concept" but I see it's disadvantages. Picker will be fixed, but recovering material is impossible. The possible thing is to store last material (or list of materials) used on given layer - just like primitives history.

Contributor Malo Posted January 20, 2015 Contributor Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 @Andrew What did you think about Fill Layers like in Substance Painter? Would it be possible to store the Material in a layer that we could change and modify it on the fly? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
