3DCoat 2024 development thread

[Elemeno]

using the draw tool with stamp brush enabled jumps around alot...

[Elemeno]

performance seems ok... im at 100 mil tris and i still have 145 fps..

im only on 10850k with 32 gb ram.... i could easily get to 150 and still have all sculpting ability...

[Elemeno]

well 200 million triangles was my limit ... after that sculpting is 30 fps and a little slow... probably ok for stamping

@SERGYIWill there be development for Wayland display server in linux? 3Dcoat will run using Wayland, but is unusable due to extremely low frame rates in the viewport.

Hi

Sorry but testing .84 cant replicate that transform issue.

It was fixed by reset settings. ;;

please run coat, exit in minute or half, send me docs/3DCoat2021/log.txt

And move mouse constanlly during the process

Hi.

The low Framerate from 84 is gone in version 85.

Thank you!

.85 is fantastic, The frame drops are gone , now smooth and voxel sculpting is very fast and responsive. The best so far.

Testing .85: 

-Encountered the most entertaining bug: I vox hid a part, objectified it, deleted hidden from the base. Switched to it. I was scaling the part using transform tools inner yellow cube.

I literally watched the left symmetry indicator move further left by itself breaking the symmetry. Object became non uniform. I right clicked and made it uniform. Although symmetry is still active none of the brushes work symmetrically. The rogue sym dot is nowhere to be seen again  . I tried symcopy to fix, didnt work so I'm typing this

-edit: I hid a part of the rogue mesh and objectified it. sym still doesnt come back...Sym works for other parts I made from the same base though 

-edit 2 : When I smooth using shift, Smooth adds a single brush stroke when the shift is released. For ex: I used vox clay on a vox obj. I started smoothing using shift key. When I'm done I release the shift and a stroke of vox clay is added unwantedly. This is not a new bug.

-edit 3: Performance feels better for now.

This software has a mind of its own

Adding a screen cap for the smooth bug. No matter how I try, I cant lift the pen up without adding those strokes

So, you press SHIFT, mouse down, move, mouse up, SHIFT up, and quad appears? In sphere tool? Or in all native voxel tools?

Since you asked, I tested further and ONLY the Vox Clay adds a square when:

- You select vox clay, add strokes, press shift start smoothing, unpress shift without releasing the mouse left click or pen pressure, then when you release the left click or lift the pen, only the Vox Clay adds a single stroke even if you try not to move the mouse or pen. 

Seems like the vox clay counts mouse release (or pen lift) as a stroke . No other brush that I've tried does that. 

When you release the mouse or pen while holding shift the stroke does not appear.

Edit: I used the sphere tool to draw the arrows to show you the squares.

Is that a single tool that is 200 million???

In my case I can go up to around 20 mil on a single tool, then the brushes start acting quite slow. Then I tried smooth all from the space menu and 3DC crashed.

( my pc: i9, 64 gig ram, 1080ti gpu )

I am on 85. There is a render room bug still. If you customize the shader and go to render room the changes are not present. Then when you go to the sculpt room back, the standard shader is on the sculpt, so the customized settings are gone. Is there a work around? I think this started with v84 or v83.

Voxel fill tool act as smooth instead of filling

It feels like it is smoothing, but i think it fills too.
