Does anyone has the same? I use 4.9.02 on OSX Thanks Probably best to contact Sergii, to look into the problem, as he handles development of the MAC and Linux builds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlosan Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 @GrzegorzWięcek 2/3 bug was reported, please use standalone version until it will be fixed. Thx Pre-compiled binaries The following binaries (Intel, 64 bit) are automatically generated from the latest GitHub revision. Mac OS X Please also fetch the following dataset ZIP file and extract it so that the datasets folder is in the same directory as Instant Meshes, Instant Meshes.app, or Instant Meshes.exe.

Advanced Member geo_n Posted August 27, 2019 Advanced Member Share Posted August 27, 2019 Congrats Andrew! Any improvement to speed with regards to layers in the Paint room? Like turning it on/off, shuffling layer, etc? I use 3dcoat painting on a daily basis. Still the most intuitive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I spoke with Andrew, he did say that a GPU brush engine (for the Paint room, anyway) was still being worked on. Therefore, I doubt a lot is being done on the CPU side, although I did show him how Microvertex was noticeably faster than PPP. He said that shouldn't be the case and would look into it.

Contributor Ascensi Posted August 28, 2019 Contributor Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) @Andrew Shpagin thank you so much for adding GU UV! There seems to be a bug with it.. if I add GU UV to a mesh with no subdivision, auto scale or just apply the UV set then export, reimport for PPP, subdivide for 16k with full smoothing the painting is distorted and paints in multiple places at once (symmetry is off) When I add ambient occlusion layer the surface is odd like it adds a marble paint job. Have I missed a step creating GU UV? Using version 4.9.05 Edit: well, long ago I requested if its possible to have UVs with no seams and I thought GU UV was it. What I did was move all faces to the same UV space and removed seams then used GU UV and applied it. I've learned today from a CG Channel article that it was about being more exact than to create UVs without seams. I'm doing organic shapes and seams with displacement are a nightmare! My issue preparing subdivision models to paint with displacement is basically distortion that happens on the seams and it was logical to conclude that the problem would be solved if it didn't have any! What would be the best way to handle this? auto uv on ppp import , remove seams, apply? Edited August 28, 2019 by Ascensi update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's too bad. 4k textures are getting really slow with lots of layers. Also badly needed is for some tools to have "affect all layers" functions. Especially painting and erasing tools when using marquee brush mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though my mesh was pure tris, I had to checkmark tris on import (I wish there was a popup that said "try this to avoid UV glitches" or something.

Member Thomas Cheng Posted September 4, 2019 Member Share Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) FBX from Max 2020, not coming into 3DCoat correctly. Here's a test file. You will see the roof and walls are coming in at different locations. Tested in Modo also and it works correctly there.

Advanced Member Dmitry Bedrik Posted September 4, 2019 Advanced Member Share Posted September 4, 2019 Hey. Until now, with an unexpected shutdown of the computer, crashes, and other such things, sometimes the program settings fly off. Setting presets is not long, but still unpleasant. version 4.9.04.

Advanced Member Dmitry Bedrik Posted September 5, 2019 Advanced Member Share Posted September 5, 2019 The problem that I notice only in 3D coat. For some reason, when I use hot keys, when I try to use another tool, the program switches to this tool and instantly back to the previous one. Like, I use “Move”, I need “Pose”, I press the hot keys for “Pose”, the program switches it for a split second, and then returns to “Move” again.

Advanced Member gbball Posted September 5, 2019 Advanced Member Share Posted September 5, 2019 I see. That is strange. Definitely sounds like a bug. I wonder if something is causing 3D Coat to read your keypresses as double taps, because that would also explain what's happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member yoohasz Posted September 6, 2019 Advanced Member Share Posted September 6, 2019 I found a funny bug I can reproduce multiple times. Retopo room, only affecting the Torus primitive object. Version 4.9.0.5. Please see 1 minute video recording of bug. I didn't go through all primitives, but torus is stable at doing this error. 2019-09-06 10-18-28.mp4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In one version they may not exist at all, in the next version it will be regular, in two versions there may not be tons of errors, but some new one will appear where everything was perfect a year ago. The gods of indivisible chaos are involved here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member L'Ancien Regime Posted September 24, 2019 Advanced Member Share Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) For me, in 4.9 there's this Paint Room bug. If I take an object in surface mode into the paint room the Fill tool works perfectly, instantly, as do all the paint tools. But if I Autopo an object, UV map it, bake it out into layers and then take it into the Paint Room and try to use the Fill tool on it, I get an instantaneous crash to desktop of the entire program. I've tried adding new layers to try it on and it still crashes. Just tried that again and sure enough it crashed. It worked perfectly without any lag on a dense mesh in Surface Mode though... //edit solved on version 4.9.15 Edited December 12, 2019 by Carlosan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the same thing for the last few versions, systematically, without exception. And it is not just the fill tool. As soon as I touch the paint layers with any tool, the crash occurs. Luckily, I get promted to save the file before 3dc shuts down. When I reopen all works fine. Now I got used to saving the file after baking, closing 3dc myself and reopening the file to paint. //edit solved on version 4.9.15 Edited December 12, 2019 by Carlosan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I got used to saving the file after baking, closing 3dc myself and reopening the file to paint. Exactly. Now that I think about it the entire paint room goes cranky when I try to paint on a UV'd polygonal mesh. You have to do a save and then reopen the file to paint. I didn't mention it till now because for some time I was blaming myself for my own ineptitude but recent experiments in the paint room with microvertex painting on surface mode sculptures has shown me the true state of affairs.
