If that is the case, you can go to the bottom of the VIEW menu and click ADJUST TESSELLATION and increase the subpatch levels. That will help a lot. Otherwise, I'd be curious to see a screen recording showing the poor results...to help determine if we either need to make some adjustments or if Andrew needs to fix something. I managed to get better result by checking sharp creases in IM, I will continue to play with it. If the polygons flow along the surface the result gets better.

When use curve tools and select the curve, then move with GIzmo, even though I input value for x,y,z it not reflect current curve postion. Unfortunately, this is not reproduced.

Advanced Member tokikake Posted April 15, 2019 Advanced Member Share Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) Hi Oleg Thanks to test, but it is not what I reported. because you use "space" key, to set transform value, with Gizmo. Then I confirm it work. (before I reported about it too) about recent versions. But about this problem, I use Gizmo Postion values in Tool options, to locate Curve as I need. If I use same property value, for voxel object transform tool, it can locate mesh with the postion value. when "Move only gizmo not active" as I expected. If Curve tool need to use with space key, I think it only work to decide delta value from current postion. is not it? eg I need to set current curve postion as gloval (0, 10, 10). but at current only Gizmo move with the postion values. not curve follow it. https://www.dropbox.com/s/1iht79z85b6p5n3/coattest2_20190416_055658.wmv?dl=0 above link can show wmv what I asked. so if you could check really apreciate.

Step 2 says "sign a Radeon™ ProRender Commercial Software Licensing Agreement" Have not looked into the details, but ProRender seems nice and cross platform. Now for Cycles and Lux, I integrated them into unity over 3 years ago. https://bit.ly/2UIZSt3 both are fairly easy to integrate, send mesh and shader/texture data...render to memory buffer, display converting shaders is not that hard with PBR, they are "physically based" which is kinda universal. any path tracer will be noisy (cycles), but just as example...32 samples (a few seconds) with my unity plugin using optix Just a note: The NVIDIA AI Denoiser is already supported by "D-NOISE" a free AddOn for blender and works great.

That's great. But is it possible that this menu does not appear when i'm still holding the Alt key while navigating (Alt+RMB). Sometimes this can be annoying and can lead to errors when you miss it and click some function randomly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to teach me the option. I do not know, if it have been there already , I hope if future version can move these menu to another place which can be more compact and easy find.p(eg I think they can be moved as Curve layer top menu, or add one more section "Curve options" ,which controll each curve or segments postion, scale etc) Because These "Point postions" (when select segments) and "Center" x, y, z , sclale x, y, z often ,not visible without I keep stretch 3d View right side. ========= And yes finally we can use bridge tool !!!

Advanced Member tokikake Posted April 18, 2019 Advanced Member Share Posted April 18, 2019 I do not know when it started, but about some exr , it often lost color infomation when I use them as enviroment map. I have used some exr (blender cloud etc), then it work (eg can open in gimp, or blender , ds), but when I import them as enviroment map, they do not work for 3d coat. it lost color infomation then only generate black and white enviroments.. Is there any limitation about 3d coat env exr image ? it seems not change with (normalize or not normalize) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often forget these improtant option setting, but about this case, I keep the Grey scale Pnorama swithced as OFF (so not use it) As you can see, About imported EXRs, which I use "Panorama list" to add image,, some map show as gray scale. but some keep colors.

Advanced Member tokikake Posted April 18, 2019 Advanced Member Share Posted April 18, 2019 Unfortunately I can not share them.(these are not free downloadable ones) I tried more low res version (eg 8k, 4k) about these maps, but no luck. On the other hand, I can import other HDRI EXR without problems. (So I have not found this problem) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member tokikake Posted April 19, 2019 Advanced Member Share Posted April 19, 2019 Thanks Carlosan to report. I do not know what make difference to change as grey only about these HDRI, but I tried to re-save as Open-exr with Gimp from your reply. file size becom large,, from 340M to 430M when convert garage.hdr to garage.exr (16k) But when i try to import the new saved garage.exr , 3d coat deny it to open as enviroment map. just , say "incorrect extends, look like png" .

Advanced Member tokikake Posted April 19, 2019 Advanced Member Share Posted April 19, 2019 I believe so ,it is most high-quarity version which I downloaded before (blender cloud, though I have no inention to PR blender cloud etc,,) then Gimp or xnconrvert viewer etc, can load it with color. (hdr version). daz studio too. So I do not know what cuase problem for 3d coat. I tried with directX version too, but it seems same. Then it is just test , (I hoped to see how it look, with use same HDRI for final render, to adjust metal mat) so it not cause me serious problem, But I hope , Andrew test with many format.

Reputable Contributor Silas Merlin Posted April 26, 2019 Reputable Contributor Share Posted April 26, 2019 It has really become a challenge to weld vertices using right click with the Add/Split tool, because of the popup menu. Doesn't anyone else have this issue ? Also, not really related to the beta builds, but I think it would make sense to automatically force-select the brush tool when you click Retopo menu > Bake with normal map (because if you have another tool selected when you start, you can't brush to tweak the inner/outer shell) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor Silas Merlin Posted April 26, 2019 Reputable Contributor Share Posted April 26, 2019 Is it expected behaviour that when your use the reproject tool, if you uncheck "re-project color", then you lose vertex color on the original in the areas that you brushed with the reproject tool. Also, when you use the pose tool, you sometimes lose vertex color on the areas that you move. (reverts to the shader in both cases) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't anyone else have this issue ? Yeah, RMB popup window can be annoying. Even while navigating in viewport. And also, we already have Spacebar popup window, so there is kind of redundancy. But you can "pin" RMB window It will be always visible, but will never pop up again while pinned down. UPD: Oh, looks like I just found a bug (or an inconsistency in the interface). When you "pin" RMB window and then change selection mode, let's say from Faces to Edges, RMB window will switch to Spacebar window.

Reputable Contributor Silas Merlin Posted April 26, 2019 Reputable Contributor Share Posted April 26, 2019 Yes, if you change tool too, for example Right click with Add/split > Pin menu > switch to select tool. Anyway, pinning it would have been a workaround... if it could be docked, or at least resized, minimized, or moved outside the viewport. But no, you can't do any of those things.
