Member Hessel Posted July 7, 2015 Member Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Hello, I am a relatively new user to 3DCoat, but I am having difficulties with version 4.5. In version 4, I can easily paint depth with the paintbrush tool. For example, I could select a texture/stencil, adjust my depth, and build normal maps. However, in version 4.5, I can no longer seem to paint depth at all. At any depth setting, no depth appears whatsoever. I'm not sure if I am just not pressing the right buttons or what, but I was unable to find help for this topic on the forum. This is a very frustrating issue, and I really appreciate any help to solve this problem! Thank you! - Cory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor Solution Tony Nemo Posted July 7, 2015 Contributor Solution Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) Depth, color and gloss can all be turned off Look for this icon near the top of your display: The blue one on the left is displacement and the right is gloss. The one in the middle is color They can be toggled on and off. Edited July 7, 2015 by Tony Nemo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member kevjon Posted July 8, 2015 Member Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Depth works in 4.5, maybe try changing the scale of your model before import and see if that resolves the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Member bbvb17 Posted July 27, 2015 New Member Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 I'm just getting started today, and my only mission is to edit NORMAL MAP, DISPLACEMENT MAP, and OPACITY MAP. I'm not getting the results I expect. Is there a tutorial that focuses on painting, layers, and settings for these functions? Thank you!

Advanced Member Grimm Posted July 28, 2015 Advanced Member Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 I had a similar issue, the normal map could not be modified. I saved the file and restarted 3D-Coat and it started working again. ?? It hasn't happened again so I'm not sure what the problem was?
