[Tip] How to change/expand the start up window ?

[souleat01]

Want to make a own start up window - is that possible?

[souleat01]

more explanation:  i want to add more objects in the voxel or surface sculption start window

[Carlosan]

All Start menu command are inside the folder

\Program Files\3D-Coat-V4___\StartMenu

We usually use Windows > popups > Models to create our own Asset Library for common use.

Please take a look about it

Thank you !!! 

i found the files and i made some own people for fast posing and get them in the starting window.

its now easy and fast to start with this  - 3d coat ist a great software!!

Do you like to share your workflow ?

May be some users like to add their own models too. Its a great idea.

Thx

Yes here my workflow:

1)First make a mesh and save it as .3b and an image  that you want to have in your start menu
 (for this i have made an humanperson like the manequinn from 3dcoat with body, arms, legs for posing -  i make each part with another colour)

2) then locate the folder Startmenu (like Carlosan mentioned above)
here you find all: in files you save your .3b file, in images you save the image.

then opened voxel.xml or Hardsurface.xml and write a little code :-) like in the image shown (ist only the same as for the other objects in the menu:

save und when you start now you will see in the voxelmenu your new option

hope this explain it in a good way
