Advanced Member Grimmy Posted April 11, 2021 Advanced Member Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 In B42.. Extrude faces still just seems to move the face and nothing more. Normal Extrude works but the process is very cumbersome. Each time I want to extrude a new face a need to deselect all faces (double clicking outside the mesh to deselect all does not work with two monitors unless you first click on the second monitor), select a new face, select the extrude tool AGAIN and then drag it out.

Pay attention, VoxelEngine is subject to change, so we can't guarantee your presets related to the voxel engine will be preserved. Anyway, it is faster, more flexible. And very good point it offers real clay-like brushes for voxels. - A lot, lot of bugfixes, including stability bugfixes, retopo/modeling... - fixed RenderMan freezing at the start of render. - Snapping corrected, was just not working at all. - Fixed painting/sculpting along the curve. Big difference Lots of amazing stuff in 2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Elemeno Posted April 11, 2021 Advanced Member Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 this isnt a bug but its something to note inside blender i can comfortably sculpt at 50 million polys its slow but you can stamp details easily inside 3dc i can even get 50 million polys... it just crashes, i know you dont need that many but its just something to note.

Also as you move the cursor from right to left does the offset change in size? Thanks! Yeah it gets sharper but now is pixelated and everything looks like 2px instead of 1px. Yes, the further right my hand/pen is, the closer the cursor is to where it should be. Totally seems related to my second monitor. Using 1920x1200 (left) and 4k(right, main monitor).

But I ran out of virtual memory due to disappearing space on C: No matter how much I clean things up it seems like different programs keep dumping stuff in temp folders somewhere. It's unrelated but does anyone know how to prevent that from happening? Premiere, TVPaint, I'm assuming 3D Coat and other programs all seem to cache stuff away on the C: I can't stand it.

Member RetopoBro Posted April 11, 2021 Member Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 Hi, I got a crash using the latest version. Surface mode, 1.2 mil tris, draw brush with some spacing and Auto subdivide turned on using that little pill brush. Notice how it misses a draw every so often but still subdivides the surface, then it crashed when moving slowly in this circular motion.

I feel I can go higher. If auto subdivide turned on, the brush becomes VERY SLOW, but not crash. Computer: intel i7 2600k, RTX 2060, 16GB ram. Maybe a windows problem that causes crash?

Testing on a older laptop, Asus I7-4700HQ ROG GTX 780m 24 gig ram, Windows 7 This is likely happening because the default Subdivision value is about 10x too high. I have reported this to Andrew, but I don't think he has addressed it yet. The default value on my current system, does not cause a crash, but it stalls the application for several seconds or longer. One needs to change the default value to 10x lower. Instead of 2.0, it should be more like .2 or instead of 1.0, it should be .1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member Ratchet Posted April 12, 2021 Advanced Member Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) On 4/8/2021 at 11:18 PM, Barrel said: Unfortunately, I very often faced a variety of problems in the retopology room in all versions, so I most often do retopology in other programs. In the end, it is not even possible to transfer an object normally from retopology to sculpting. The most normal way is to export the file in the retopology room and import it into the sculpt room. This is heresy. I got it working, after "modeling" room you need to use "retopo" room before "sculpting" room. 1) Once low poly is complete , switch to retopo room uncheck "Virtual mirror mode" check on "Apply symmetry to all layers" 3) Switch to "Sculpt" room, choose "Objects" -> "Import" uncheck "Respect Negative volumes" check on "Import so separate instance" and adjust "ExtraInstanceDensity" as you wish There should be official video tutorial to show the process getting modeling to sculpting without issues.

It was a beta tool a developer who no longer is with Pilgway, was working on. Andrew has since created a SHELL tool that does this job. I think the developers forgot to remove this. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Size should have the same functionality to keep tool usage and interface consistent. Also Is it possible to have local versus World positioning for 3d primitives?

Advanced Member MariuszKolo Posted April 15, 2021 Advanced Member Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) If this thread is a right place to submit new feature request based of 3d coat 2021 beta I would like to ask: Projector tool in the sculpt room It would be very helpful if we could import cameras from 3th party softwares in abc, fbx, cam, etc.. file format. and use it as a projector. In my workflow in VFX we very often have a plate images with specific FOV ( specyfied sensor size and focal length in mm) and we would like to be able to model in a 3d coat with projection from that specific camera angle in 3d space. Is it possible to submit this feature request and how I would be able to know if it was approved or denied ?

Member 3dSphinx Posted April 15, 2021 Member Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 Hello, New to the forum and was quite excited to test out the low poly feature coming to 2021. It may not be a big deal for other people and I know it is still being worked on. But I have been playing with the Extrude and the Spine Tool. I have hit every button to see if instead of having to hit the 'New Extrude' button I could get an extrude and didn't see that it was possible. Wouldn't it be more effective if the person could just hold the Ctrl button while clicking and pulling the end point to make a new extrude? I think it would add to the speed of modeling. But just throwing out a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Half the resolution of my 4k monitor?? Thanks for this clue. After testing, I think it's affected by Windows UI scaling. I've confirmed that I can get Wintab to work properly on my 4K monitor if I set the UI Scaling to 100% in the Windows Display settings. When I had mine set to 200% it scaled the brush location from my cursor by 200% from the top left corner, causing the offset. @Andrew Shpagin hopefully this makes it easier to fix if you are still tracking this issue down.

Advanced Member Yousung Posted April 16, 2021 Advanced Member Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 Does anyone know how to use the Cross Section of the Loft Surface tool in Modeling-Room? Even if I test it around, I'm not sure what this is or how it works..... If i move it after adding a curve to the cross section, only the polygons are twisted and destroyed...
