Confirmed !!!

Hi Andrew and 3DCoat Team!

I've tried many times to download latest 4.8.06 (for Windows) but the download process is extremely slow and after a while it stops.

I never had this problem before, and I have checked my internet connection and all works fine.

Could you please check if there's a problem with this download ?

Thanks and have a nice day.

yes I can't export anything with 06...

[digman]

Beta version: 4.8.06. Under the Textures Menu also can not run calculate Curvature or Occlusion. I have not check other menus, but something seriously got broken in this Beta...

Hi guys, running 4.8.06, win 10. 

cannot exporting any kind of model layer to meshes panel, doesn't work with voxels (even low res) or in surface mode either. No cue is given when you try to activate the command from File > Export > Save to Mesh Panel - it just does nothing at all. Anyone else finding this?

Sounds like 4.8.06  is a bust. Probably best to roll back to .5 if you still have it.

 

I usually keep the last beta 2 versions just in-case for scenarios like .6 is having.

@Andrew Shpagin you are too good. A merry and blessed Christmas to you, and thankyou, mate, 3DCoat seriously rocks!

Calculating Occlusion and Curvature maps are fixed as well... Thanks. 

Yes, to everyone keep a 3DC version that is the most stable for you and your workflow. Any beta can break things that use to work. The nature of Betas. 

You can run your most stable version and the newest beta.  By default a newer beta will install in a different folder. Like another user said, I also keep about 3 versions of 3DC.

I've been using 3DC for over 8 years, but never did any texturing with it. 
I'm just starting to learn this part - so my apologies if I'm doin' something wrong. 
Does seems like these are just a couple of bugs.

--------------------------------------

In Retopo Room:

Shift-A with an object selected does not zoom to the bounding box of the object.  Instead it centers around global origin.

NOTE: I am retopologizing and laying out UVs on an imported OBJ.  There are no voxels or any objects in the sculpt room.

Perhaps I am doing something wrong?

--------------------------------------

In UV Room:

If I undock the UV Preview Panel then I can no-longer use the gizmo to move the islands or uv's around.

3D Coat :Version 4.8.05 GL (also checked on DX version)

@Cakeller

Undocking the UV panel in the UV room and moving uv-islands works on my end in beta version 4.8.07. 

This could be related to some of the problems that were in beta 4.8.05 where you could not move points in the lathe tool panel either. I would test beta 4.8.07.

Shift -A according to the tool tip centers the model in the center of the viewport and scales to fit. I do not think it matters what camera rotation is used under the Camera menu.

Try using the Google Drive Mirror link in the original post. It should be much better. I download the file once Andrew or Sergyi upload and place it straight on to Google Drive for everyone else (I download it slow too, but then no one else has to). =)

Thanks I'll try the 4.8.07

as for the framing problem.  The behavior in voxel room is correct.  However on my imported OBJ file that I am not voxelizing, only using to lay out UVs, Shift+A centers on the origin.  I will see if this persists in 4.8.07.

EDIT: 

Tested 4.8.07, and you're right now the UV islands can be moved! yay - at least there's that one.

However, I tested the Shift+A in 4.8.07, and same results as before. 

The Shift+A does work on sculpt objects, however, it does not work on retopo only objects.
 if there is only a retopo object but no sculpt object, then Shift+A centers to the origin. 

You can test this by:

1) create a simple object in sculpt room.  
2) move it away from the origin (or don't, as long as it is not at the origin in the end)  
3) Autotopo the sculpt.  
4) Delete the sculpt object
5) Switch to the Retop Room, click "Select" tool, then select anything - a face, an edge, a vertext, the whole shell.
6) Press Shift+A and the result is that 3D Coat zooms to the origin, not to the bounding box of the selection.

Again - this does not happen if you have a sculpt object, it is only when you are trying to zoom to the extents of a retopo only object.

Tested in 4.8.07

[Silas Merlin]

With 4.8.05 on Windows 7, trying to import a Collada file in sculpt room either into a surface layer or vox layer provokes crash. (works fine after converting to obj externally)

[Carlosan]

With 4.8.07 on Win, import a Collada file provokes crash.

Confirmed
