Member Antidamage Posted August 16, 2018 Member Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) I've imported a simple model, adjusted the UVs (which is why I love 3D coat so much) and now I'm trying to paint it, but the best I was able to do was to apply a smart material to a layer. If I make a new layer and try to paint, say, green, nothing happens. I've checked the obvious stuff like layer opacity and brush opacity. Nothing is working through multiple reloads. Also it's saying that it's running at thousands of FPS but it feels very slow and laggy, less than 1fps laggy. I've started over a couple of times too and it feels like it can only paint in grayscale. Grayscale isn't enabled in the view options though. Finally, even though I purchased an amateur license to mess around with, it's showing "Educational" in the title bar. Is this why the program is limited to grayscale? Any advice?

Carlosan Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 Please try painting any default mesh selecting it on the opening startup windows (shift+M) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Antidamage Posted August 16, 2018 Author Member Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) I did eventually try that and it worked. I have no idea why this mesh is behaving differently. I'd have a better idea if it wasn't painting at all but it's painting a *bit*. Edited August 16, 2018 by Antidamage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 I dont know your current workflow, but try switching off View > Show voxels in paint room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Antidamage Posted August 17, 2018 Author Member Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) Did that too and it made no difference. Lemme grab a screenshot... So one problem here is it's using the smart material but there's no colour: And if I paint on to layer 4 nothing happens, but if I paint into the texture editor I just get white: Also painting is hideously slow. The last time it worked it wasn't this bad. These are my view settings: Edited August 17, 2018 by Antidamage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member stusutcliffe Posted August 17, 2018 Advanced Member Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Maybe hide the curvature layer and possibly the ambient acclusion layer and turn off show voxels . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Will you share the model to take a look ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried all of that, made no difference. 17 hours ago, Carlosan said: Will you share the model to take a look ? Sure thing, lemme upload it. Painting models is literally the last piece missing from my workflow so I'm champing at the bit to get into this. It's definitely working normally if I make a new document and go to paint a cube. Update: I started over (I find the UV UI really difficult so I was avoiding this) and redid everything, in a new document the colours work. So please feel free to tell me what I did wrong in the attached document to strip it of colour. box02.3b Edited August 18, 2018 by Antidamage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
