New Member derrickAziz Posted June 6, 2016 New Member Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Hello everyone. I'm new to 3D Coat, currently using the trial version now. I imported a model I made in blender and no matter what I do it's still very glossy. So far I've set the gloss intensity to 0% on each layer (one at a time for testing). I've added a specular map and even tried painting using flat shading alone (Didn't work out because I want to be able to see my normal map as I paint) I want to use the smooth shading option as I paint but it's difficult when the glossiness of the model gets in the way of seeing color. I'll be attaching an image for clarity... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javis Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Hi! Welcome. So it's hard to say exactly, but I'm fairly certain if you use a more recent build, this issue doesn't exist. The only way I know you're using an older build is by the glossiness term. It was changed to Roughness some time ago. New builds can be found here at this thread (I recommend using the Google Drive downloads, they are much faster): Hope that helps! PS - Be sure to uninstall that build, reboot, and install the new build... Just in case! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be "Roughness" for "Roughness/Metalness" and "Glossiness Intensity" for "Gloss/Metalness" and "Gloss/Color Specular" texturing workflows. Regarding your issue @derrickAziz, you need to enable painting with glossiness channel because you currently have it disabled. Do you see that small green sphere at the top bar, between those two white X-es and Falloff and Depth sliders? The rightmost sphere is the glossiness channel which is now crossed out. The leftmost is depth, which you also have disabled. Until glossiness channel is disabled, you won't be able to paint with it.

Contributor Tony Nemo Posted June 6, 2016 Contributor Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Enable gloss and disable color and use the eraser tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had completely forgotten about the ability to change flows. Good point. And your explanation is what I would suggest as well, to solve the issue.

Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted June 6, 2016 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Another dirty little trick is to enable only the Glossiness channel (dark grey sphere) then select each layer (leave Layer 0 alone, always) > DELETE key on each one. Whatever channel is enabled, hitting the DELETE key will erase all channel information from that layer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
