Member TanKh Posted June 18, 2020 Member Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 As I am currently working on a project where I have to texture lots of character props that have unique UVs though they are symmetrical I struggle with 3DCoat's symmetry feature. The Spline-Paint-Tool is very handy for painting clean strokes and supports the style I use on the chars. Unfortunately there seems to be a bug in conjunction with the symmetry function of 3DCoat that stresses my workflow a lot. Repro steps: create two boxes in voxel room, each with same distance from center axis: Drop those to Paint Room with AUTOPO: Enable Symmetry and start using Spline-Paint: Result on "source side": Result on opposite side: It looks like there is some strange twisting of the brush when painting the stroke. This is even more visible when using the text-Tool: Result on "source side": Result on opposite side: I would like to know if there any tips to make this work from my side or if there any plans to adress this issue. If you need further info I am eager to help. best regards t. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Shpagin Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 I tried, but my text is absolutely symmetric on both sides. I am trying to understand what is different from your attempts. What I do: 1) 2 symm cubes 2) Autopo, bake to paint 3) Hide sculpt objects 4) Add 3 points with text 5) Enter Everything is perfect...

Member TanKh Posted June 24, 2020 Author Member Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) Hi Andrew, I made some Screencaps in order to show the problem: https://1drv.ms/v/s!Aq7jih4QElkLtOUkUck5svIk2iHNcg?e=0NEDs9 https://1drv.ms/v/s!Aq7jih4QElkLtOUjUu-83OY6_A2IlA?e=jgJV9z I made a couple more vids in order to reproduce with different results, my findings are: - error amount seems to depend on the viewing angle when applying the type curve - after a couple of tries the complete type-curve tool went nuts producing only ****** when applying. So I restarted 3DCoat after this and after every following try. The two examples above were done after a fresh restart of the program - I had few tries where I could not see any error Compared to my real-World problems the videos above show somewhat mild results. Here is the problem on my current character model: https://1drv.ms/v/s!Aq7jih4QElkLtOUlENF_ldTDztg1bA?e=i4YHRc the scale of my model is quite small so it may depend on that. The UVs are perfectly symmetrical, I wrote a Photoshop script to compensate the error by mirroring the right part of the texture to the left. thanks, t. Edit: for me personally the text-tool problem is far less important than the one with the spline-tool. But those seem to have the same reasons....

Andrew Shpagin Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 Please send me the scene with text/curve. I am still unable to reproduce. Maybe fixed in my build ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is even worse than on the test file with my orignal work files. See attached video: 3DCoatSymmetryErrorRealData.3b_ - 3D-COAT 4.9.54(GL64) 2020-07-15 15-15-44.mp4 I attached the 3b file as well to this post. regards, t. 3DCoatSymmetryErrorRealData.rar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one note: The option to switch tablet settings to TabletPC seems to be missing in the preferences/general tab. I had to edit the prefs in order to get my tablet working again...
