Thx for hard work ! Any info you can share about BaseBrush? I can't test it as the Mac version isn't up to date yet Is it a universal brush system that works between both Voxel and Surface mode etc?

gbball 202 Report post Posted January 19, 2020 Whoa, this universal brush engine looks pretty cool! Only just starting testing it, but I can see a lot of potential for some very powerful new brushes. The alpha generator is pretty awesome too. I don't know if I've ever seen anything like this before. Will it be possible to add in new effect types? Is that something you could expose through scripting? That way people could add gravity effects, fracture effects and the like...Also, for the rotate effect, it would be nice to define the axis(x,y,z,custom) and position (xyz position relative to the centre of the brush) of the rotation effect 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rygaard 151 Report post Posted January 20, 2020 Clone Tool - Bug I tried using the Clone Tool to copy the texture already applied to the mesh surface and then I just clicked a single button in the empty area beside it.After I clicked on the empty area, 3D-Coat went to "Not Responding", and after a long time (many minutes), the result was a noise that looked like I dragged the mouse across the mesh surface.

Thank you very much BaseBrush is independent on current system, should not break it. Regarding presets - curves/text/snake/spike/muscle related presets may be broken (tools moved to other principles of registration). If that sort of presets are important for anyone, please tell me.

gbball 202 Report post Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) @Rygaard The brush alphas worked for me, but I used png, not tiff. Also, I encountered a bug where the brush effects I tried to add to the CTRL modifier were all applied to the regular brush function.

I think that all presets are valuable. Please, If you can prevent the Presets from breaking, it will be very important...

I tested it.When you select the CTRL Modifier, and add "effects or brushes" automatically what was added will appear in Regular and in CTRL Modifier nothing will appear.I don't know if the behavior would have independent effects for Regular and Ctrl, or if you have to press the Copy button from Regular in order for the CTRL Modifier to work. BUG: A strange thing that happened to me was the following:I just added the Brush "Average...", then I went to Ctrl Modifier and I pressed the button to Copy from Regular. The result was that... there were a lot of brushes in the listing and duplicates (for both Regular and Ctrl Modifier). *** Bug:The alpha of the TIF format I was using for testing was DELETED from the folder, leaving only the .mclp and .xml formats.

tritochke 13 Report post Posted January 20, 2020 Hi devs I am currently using 4.9.19 ver and off the bat i've noticed one serious problem with importing huge reference meshes using Voxel Sculpting option ( welcome screen ). Prior to this version It was possible to import really high ref meshes usually aroun 15 to 20 Mil poly's, but now this option is not possible anymore and If I try to import really low reference mesh, lets say 1 Mil 3DCoat will crash every time, no exceptions. I kinda hoped that with new updates 3DCoat would be able to handle even bigger reference object then 20 Mil, not loose this option in the process. Can anyone confirm this, any similar issues with heavy object handling ? thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SilverCity 4 Report post Posted January 20, 2020 For the BaseBrush: I noticed that the right points in the Left/Right Falloff Window (Edit Brush Shape) seems to be really hard to move. Also, the Buildup option doesn't seem to have any effect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dmitry Bedrik 1 Report post Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) In version 4.9.17 (marked as "stable") I can’t find the cube for zooming on the z axis, everything was fine in 4.9.05. What am I doing wrong? It. Highly. It’s strange. I restarted the program and a square appeared. This seems to be some kind of error when the scaling square appears at a certain viewing angle (it seems that the viewing angle is too large).

gbball 202 Report post Posted January 20, 2020 2 other longstanding bugs that I should mention. 1 - in the retopo room, when using the point, faces tool. If you assign delete polygons, delete edges, or collapse to the CTRL or CTRL+SHIFT action, it will perform the action of that tool, but it does so as though you're pressing CTRL. This isn't usually the desired outcome. For example, if i want to delete one or two polygons, I will have to swith tools instead of using the modifier because the modifier will delete everything. 2 - If I do a smooth all immediately after extruding, the extrusion will be lost and the smooth all will happen on the un-extruded version of the mesh.

tritochke 13 Report post Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) In ver 4.9.19 which I am currently testing out Ive noticed a really strange problem with layers within retopo room, both sculpttree and retopo objects layers are buged, and what I mean by that is if you try to hide / show particular layer in both of these panels they will hide every other layer ( NOT connected to them by any hierarchy, meaning this selected object that I am trying to hide is not parent to others, its single mesh totally unrelated ) . If you switch then all your layers in the panel on OR off several times 3dcoat will not hide selected layer sometimes, sometimes it will rename ALL existing layer with the same name as the layer you selected last...just, i cannot even explain the scope of these glitches, they are all random and they all have to do with hiding, naming and positioning of the existing layers, in other words....it's bad Edited January 20, 2020 by tritochke Possible solution for this issue : Do NOT dock your sculpt tree or retopo objects panels, leave them floating and reopen them every time you reopen your scene, I find that this completely removes the issue mentioned above. Just a temp workaround Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SilverCity 4 Report post Posted January 21, 2020 BaseBrush: I'm having some issues with the Curve controls that affect depth. 1. The command to "Copy settings from the Regular" doesn't transfer a custom depth curve. 2. I can't get my custom depth curves to stick on any of my BaseBrush presets. I reinstalled 4.9.20 and it still is a problem. "Update Preset" also doesn't work . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
