Sorry, we forgot to add Iges & Moulding to the Beta test license as they will be sold as separate Extra Modules. Now we added that functionality to the new Beta test license. Please download the new license here and you will be able to make Iges curves import.

ense

Is there a way to feature request that if the bug has been 'fixed'...It's actually confirmed fixed before being ignored :/

Because car modeling came up, as I said GS is used a lot for that so I was reminded of my question. It's a public forum you know,  every post isn't a reply to you.

My 3D car modeling was specific to 3DCoat 2021 new modeling tools. I was not asking a general question about car modeling.

Sorry I did not mean to be rude as I thought this thread was all about 3DCoat 2021 and not 3D modeling in general. So should I post a question about MOI3D or Blender's Hardops Add-on?

We're discussing new tools here.
And it will be good to hear suggestions that will help improve the tools and simplify the modeling.

For modeling tools 3dcoat lack non destructive workflow.
Would be great to have something like this. Every object can be edited and adjusted smooth edges at any time

It could be possible that parts of 3DC, or even the whole thing, could be made to work in VR. I don't know, so I ask. I tell you, it's really cool to be able to walk around your model while you're working on it. Especially a car model. You really get a sense of scale like you can't do on a 2D screen.

There is no modelling room category in your mantis bug tracker that I can see. I already reported a ton of bugs with the modelling room previously but cant find them on mantis.

According to your comments, we have fixed a lot of errors for the extrude tool. Thank you.
Except for this Faces are unselectable in the smart extrude.

Try again please, remember to select version 2021 project

This is a tool feature/suggestion that I previously e-mailed to developers, but I would like to present it again here, in hopes users can weigh in also and for clarity

I'll try keep it short, and include some pictures to convey the idea.
To summarize: Using "Bend Along Curve" command with retopo geometry in Modeling or Retopo workspace

I will show in Sculpt workspace, how Bend Tool works currently. • You have a model, ideally the "longest side" points in world up direction • Select sculpt model, RMB curve and "Bend Model" →  New instance of geometry appeared that is bent along the curve • Tool options provide many parameters, such as no. of objects, et cetera.

Suggestion is: To be able to perform this same "Bend Model" operation with polygroups or retopo models in the Modeling workspace as well, e.g. bend geometry with quads topology preserved around curve, and get parameters such as no. of objects et cetera.

Thanks for your consideration and time

It certainly does sound cool. But the cost of the VR hardware is a big concern for a near 70 year old retiree like myself. I've always enjoyed your youtube channel. I hope you have some tutorials on Gravity Sketch like you did on 3D scanners.

21.05.21 B49

- 3DConnexion support rewritten to work exactly as in other applications that support space mouse. Now almost all settings are controlled via device control panel, navigation is precise and accurate.

- 3D-Connexion device may be used to transform/place objects, see the Edit->Transform->Transform with 3d-Connexion.

- Now it is possible to use 3D-Mouse with transform tools, primitives, models merging, pose selection transforms.

- Even more - primitives in voxel mode has "Trace mode" to paint directly in 3d space with 3d-mouse or gizmo.

Short video (just for info, it will be remade) - https://youtu.be/w10_2Cesaps

- Fixed reproject tool (was not working with pen drawing).

- Fixed memory lack crash during the decimation command of huge scenes.

- Essential instability in sculpting with brush engine fixed.

- Fixed strange issue when ptex tool activates in custom sculpt-based new rooms

- Moulding tuned to work faster, at least in limited time for complex cases. Look the video, the quality is low (will be remade) but describes most essential points - https://youtu.be/Zhj4XUqSTb0

- Fixed Quick start (Tutorial missіons) section "Primitives".

Thanks I would like to once I get to know it better. Meanwhile Glen Southern does some really good tutorials on it. Anyway, back to 3DC.

It is working now

Can't reproduce it. What tool used?

Vox Clay.   It happens on any of the default primitives after starting up.

I enjoyed Glen's Silo3D tutorials.

So what would be the basic cost for the VR hardware required for Gravity Sketch?

Although I am using the "4,9,72" version, this Flatten tool bug is disgusting! What to do about it?

 

Pits appear regardless of the thickness of the material in any mode, be it voxels or surface.

Tested latest build just now.
my guess is that the trouble I am having is because my 3d mouse is the original SpaceNavigator, the first model.
Despite the fact that when downloading drivers, the 3dconnexion website tells me to download the current driver. It just doesn't work with 3d !Coat 2021 beta.

This time I can't even tell if the navigation works, because 3d-Coat does not take into account any of the settings I have in the device's control panel. none.
So, since now the settings are to be edited there and not in 3d-Coat preferences... I can't change anything :)

Sad to say, but I am perfectly happy with 4.9
Yes, there are bugs but none of them are critical as far as I am concerned.
what worries me is that the beta tools will eventually be disabled, and I rely on some of them heavily.

I realize all the hard work to make 2021 happen and I do wish I could use some of the new cool things... but, I was wondering, would it be possible to make it so that when you eventually buy a 2021 license, that license enables you to keep using beta tools in 4.9 ? This is probably too much to ask ?

Where is that tool? Is it an old one? I see no such tool in the new voxel toolset.

Of course, my purpose is to make it work correctly. Enabling 49 forever is possible, but very last solution.

Does any settings in 3d mouse settings influence on 3d-coat? At least any - hotkeys, disabling pan, lock horizon, speed changes....

Exactly, what model do you use?

Very difficult to test anything because all directions are inversed.
yesterday on first install of B49 I could at least move in space. reinstalled today and now I can only rotate the view. None of the settings in 3dx properties seem to have any effect. speed, buttons, advanced properties... and "lock horizon" does not appear anywhere.

Model : 3dx-600028 (Spacenavigator)  Firmware : 4.31
