All other views work ok. ( I have them configured to the Number Pad on my keyboard.) The current version has overall shortcut problems. My manually set shortcuts don't work always. 3DC doesn't activate my custom shortcuts after a time period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member stusutcliffe Posted November 3, 2018 Advanced Member Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 Yes, my "T" for Transform tool shortcut went funny again last week.( its not done that for ages) I had to tap it twice for it to stick. ( tried deleting assorted options xml, but Im never sure which and where these are , Im always afraid I might break something.) It seems ok at the moment though. It may have been something to do with the particular scene I was re purposing over and over again...perhaps it got clogged up or something. When I started afresh it seemed ok . Like the bug was just contained in a particular scene or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor Silas Merlin Posted November 5, 2018 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 (edited) I uninstalled my older version, thus committing to using 4.8.25A-SL exclusively... I was using a bit of both depending on what I was doing. I have to switch a lot between rooms, and the vox layers popping back to visible/unghosted when changing rooms is already annoying me very much. I guess it's a bug, because it happens randomly, not every time. Does it happen only to me ? Edited November 5, 2018 by lesaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried to merge some layers to a 32x voxel layer. No chance. Waited some minutes and closed the windows task then. In v4.8.20 same scene were managed in some seconds. By the way: Thank you for fixing the Preset saving bug I mentioned some days before but there is still a small issue there: (2) I have to click twice to get the right background stencil (camera projection texture) size. This problem existed already before. (1) - Merge visible was not changed. Possibly there is difference on your side - voxel/surface, different layers selected etc. If you will provide scene/steps to reproduce, I will investigate and fix. (2) - not understood.

Advanced Member Werner_Z Posted November 7, 2018 Advanced Member Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Very very slow loading of scenes in the latest build. 4.8.25A-SL Load screen stays on "prepare for texturing" way too long. Even on lighter scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member Metin Seven Posted November 9, 2018 Advanced Member Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 Hi, I recently installed the latest 3D-Coat for macOS (4.8.26), and noticed the following: I start 3D-Coat and choose auto-retopology, then after the window with the initial settings I press S and check x symmetry. Subsequently I press Next in the following requesters, because I want to skip the density painting and guide drawing. Finally, nothing happens. I just see the imported mesh, without Autopo. So I need to right-click on the imported mesh layer and reinitialize Autopo to make it work. Is this a bug or is there a specific moment you need to activate symmetry? A symmetry option in the initial Autopo options would be more convenient. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will contact you sometime next week and show you what I mean. Both topics. It's fast to show. I can provide you the example scene then. Removing undercuts needs very long to calculate too. Much longer then v4.8.20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reputable Contributor Silas Merlin Posted November 12, 2018 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 4.8.25A-SL(GL64) : "Don't snap subdivision vertices to surface" is missing from the import object box when you do "Update paint mesh with retopo mesh" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor Silas Merlin Posted November 18, 2018 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Since the devs are working on the brush engine, could they take a look at the clone tool ? Pen pressure works fine with the clone tool for per pixel painting, but not in vertex painting mode, and yes I know bout setting opacity in tool options, but it just isn't the same. Also is copy/paste tool broken ? It doesn't do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor Rygaard Posted November 21, 2018 Contributor Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 Hey everyone, I've been sculpting a lot in 3d-coat 4.8.25A - SL (DX-64) and it's possibly a problem... The problem is as follows: When I'm in Surface mode, I hide a part of the mesh to be able to sculpt using the Move Brush and the Pose Tool and after I finish making the necessary modifications I appear with the complete mesh, the result is that the mesh that was hidden was also deformed by the Move Brush or Pose Tool. How is this possible? I believe that when you hide a mesh, this hidden mesh should not receive any modification or alteration, but in my case, even if I hide the mesh that I do not want to deform, it is being altered as if it were still visible on the screen. Could someone please let me know if this is a bug in 3D-Coat ? I noticed that this problem that I'm going through has happened to me in previous versions of 3D-Coat. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Shpagin Posted November 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 21.11.2018 4.8.28 - Important! 3B scenes are zipped on the fly, so will take much less space on the disk! Saving does not lock main procss, so you may continue to work while 3D-Coat saves scene. - Fixed crash related to screenshot in multi-display mode. - Fixed problem related to picking volumes after scene loading - "Naive" padding seamlessness improved essentially. - stability of cutoff improved - fixed crash in spike/muscle/etc tools - Smooth all in surface mode works correctly with multiselection. - Pose rect selection, gizmo at center mass - fill layer problem fixed - fixed crash during DEL Curves: - Possibility to save curves to separate files - Support of multiple modifiers per curve Sculpt Layers - Remove stretching compatible with SL 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Mystical Posted November 21, 2018 Advanced Member Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 3B scenes being zipped by default is really awesome. I manually would zip them in packs when I finished projects but may not have to do that anymore which is cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naive is not a good word to use, then. It should be SIMPLE. Naive, in English, is basically the same as IGNORANT.

Advanced Member Mystical Posted November 22, 2018 Advanced Member Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 (edited) ! I think I've found a critical file save error in 4.8.28 If I open up one of my larger project files created in a previous version of 3D Coat (like 9GB 3b file) everything appears ok (models, normal maps, textures etc). However once I 'save as' the file and the saving is complete (I waited until the 'don't close' message at the top disappeared) when reopening the file many of the models in the paint room have no textures, normal maps, and all other layers associated with those models are just white rending the project file broken pretty much. It compressed the 9GB file down to 190mb roughly, that seems like a huge amount of compression for a file that had a lot of textures, it seems like it purged a lot of it by accident. Good thing I did not overwrite my original. This means if I try to do any work though in 4.8.28 and save the file and try to reopen it loses a lot of the data. There must be a problem with the compression on larger 3b files as I saved a smaller one (like a 260 mb file) and when I reopened it everything was ok. I noticed on the larger file the saving progress freaks out as well: As a side note when it was saving I didn't do any work, I just let 3D Coat sit until it completed saving.
