Member Guyverzero Posted June 11, 2018 Member Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Hey, In the middle of a retopo (female character), I grabbed the strokes tool to create a few loops around the fingers, in this case, set my segments and hitting Enter gives no result (Or it appears to not). After trying multiple times on different fingers, legs and the body there is some kind of geo there, but its as if its all collapsed in on itself and would be a nightmare to unravel it. I'm using version 4.18.15D(DX54), is this an issue with the reference mesh or a possible bug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Hi Will be a bug, please test latest version. Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Guyverzero Posted June 11, 2018 Author Member Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Thanks for the speedy reply! I downloaded and tried the same thing in the newer version and I still get the same outcome? I can draw strokes in a square and it will give a poly face, trying the loop approach equals to nothing after hitting enter OR the faces seem to be vertices all stacked on top of each other. Thanks again for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor Tony Nemo Posted June 11, 2018 Contributor Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Try it with just one vertical stroke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Guyverzero Posted June 11, 2018 Author Member Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Still no joy, as soon as I press enter the strokes disappear but there is no geometry left behind. I'm doing it manually at the moment it's just a bit more time consuming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Sometimes happen if the model is very small. Please try on any new project with default cylinder please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Guyverzero Posted June 12, 2018 Author Member Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Ok so I created a cylinder (inside 3dCoat) and switched to the Retopo tab, the stroke tool worked perfectly first time! So I guess there is an issue with my reference mesh. I decimated a few pieces in ZBrush, merged them together and exported as an obj, Imported for retopo in 3dCoat. So far I still have not managed to get the strokes tool to work on fingers, legs etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Instead of using reference mesh, this way works better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
