Member Heksagon Posted November 3, 2019 Member Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) I tried to use 4.9.07 (normally I use 01). It looks great, but I'm confused by some changes. Transform Tool: To Center Mass, Align to View etc options. These options are really important for me and many other users, so I'm not sure why they're gone. Vox Hide: I no longer have an option to use Lasso Tools. Most people use this tool with Lasso Tools, so... this change seem to be a bit odd. Edit: Ok, now I see that the greyed out Lasso Tools is a known bug. Edited November 3, 2019 by Heksagon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a lot of my work in 3D scanning I get the object scanned with textures but I may like to have a medium res mesh exported. The problem there is that if bring it into the sculpt room I get low res textures. So I always have to make my scans really high res. Speaking of 3D Scanning, 3DCoat no longer bakes UV textures onto the Surface mode mesh, when imported into the Sculpt Room. I don't know when it stopped working, but I was trying to show someone who works with 3D Scans, how that is done....but it didn't work. That REALLY, REALLY needs to get fixed ASAP because it is vital to a normal 3D Scan workflow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What it did and still does is import vertex colour in the sculpt room in surface mode.

philnolan3d Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 It does import the textures into the vertex colors, I actually just did it. But you have to uncheck the Voxelize box in the Import tool options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first my scans just wouldn't import with colour (I was trying to import vertex colour, but they did also have textures). I guess the textures were just not properly assigned in the mesh file for 3dc to recognize. I tried just now with textures assigned in Blender, and no vertex colour, and it did work. However, this doesn't change anything for me, because I still have to subdivide the mesh before import, which is what takes a lot of time in Blender, if you want enough vertices to hold the information you need. It has to be done before importing to 3dc, because as soon as you subdivide in the import tool options, 3dc doesn't convert the textures to vertex colour, from the tests I did just now. Also, the importer smoothes the mesh when you subdivide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've set the AO layer to emission and lowered the background lighting/image. I've seen them appear on the seams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member pr1970 Posted November 4, 2019 Member Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 Something i just came across (its in older versions aswell) drag in a .hdr file and it just comes up with this "Ca" (see below). I assume its cancel. Would be nice to just detect its a hdr and add to the environment textures automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contributor Ascensi Posted November 5, 2019 Contributor Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) On 10/22/2019 at 4:13 PM, carrots said: Thanks, I will test it. UV creation is still broken in V 4.9.07 How to do a simple test: creating new ppp project select the sphere, use max subdivision, full smoothing, textures set to 16K. Once loaded bake an AO layer with default settings. Once the layer is finished, set the AO layer's blending type to "use as emissive" in order to see the artifacts. I've tried setting Anti-aliasing to 4x and 3DCoat crashed. I have 1 RTX 2080 Ti and two GTX 970s with an i7 and 32 GB of ram.. GB of HD and still 3DCoat doesn't seem to be working correctly. Be sure to use automapping because your default models already have UVs likely created from older 3DCoat with same broken UV creation. I've also manually tried creating UVs. I don't think it's the UV creation's fault specifically but it could be the subdivision process -perhaps the UVs need to be scaled at specific subdivision levels. The reason why I think it maybe more about subdivision is that even Zbrush UV creation and painting with subdivision works fine as well as creating displacement maps. Anyway click on the sphere and look closely, you will see black tracks. These are along the UV seam and create spike when painting with displacement and the texture used has no spikes.
