3DCoat 4.9 BETA testing thread

[Silas Merlin]

every time I switch to the smooth tool whether it is in Voxel mode or surface, 3d-Coat hangs for maybe 1 to 3 seconds. I think it started in 4.9.19 but maybe less noticeable.


I'm having a lot of trouble with the smart materials editor, I think someone said they were not able to reproduce my initial issue a while back : can't click on the balls at the left to access the texture editor.
I finally figured out that you have to right click on the textures to access it, but... that is not intuitive at all...


Also, finally found the controls to move a layer up/down (and even duplicate, didn't remember that one!). Again, a right click on the layer, not intuitive at all
Buttons fow new people, please


Also, when I plug in a new texture, it does not refresh in the editor.
I have to save, right click the smart material and refresh preview for the textures to register inside the editor.

Please check this post related to that issue.

reply thank you !

@lesaint models issue is confirmed and reported, but smooth, smart materials, texture refresh... everything is working fine from my side.

Try Edit > Reset settings to delete old options*.xml config files.

Hope it help

Edit>reset settings helped some, but not all

Selecting smooth tool still causes a pause

ball icon in smart material editor now works.
textures refresh if I click on a texture and use the browser to select a new one.

However, if I drag and drop a texture from my desktop to the slot directly, it still does not refresh in the smart material editor.

If I drag and drop a texture from my desktop to the slot directly, it refresh in the smart material editor... if another layer was created before

If not, you need to switch on/off eye icon (hide-unhide layer) to refresh mat preview.

Would it be possible to get an estimate or at least a small progress report on how the MacOS builds is coming along?

Maybe you have symmetry snap enabled in tool settings?

Please also check Retopo models, and splines too.
None of them are working here.
switching back to 19, sorry :/

response thank you.

I don't use Symmetry snap.

Edit Brush Shapes:

1. When the user uses positive values in the Texture Scale option, the texture is repeated. The problem is that the greater the number of repetitions, the greater the formation of peaks (mountains).

2. - Sometimes, when creating a new Alpha with textures in the Edit Brush Shape, as soon as the user chooses the new Alpha in the Alphas Palette to use, the texture does not appear (empty alpha).
The user has to keep opening the same texture several times until the newly created alpha is saved correctly. And even saving, the same problem can happen that the texture doesn't load and needs to open the texture again and save.

That bug has been in 3dCoat since I started using it years ago. I just gave up asking about it.

[jene]

the new version is getting better even if a new issue happen.

it would be difficult to fix all software bug .

I appreciate for your work, Mr Andrew and great developers.

I will continue to use 3D-coat.
