>>- Much much better quality of Copy clay. Correct seamless merging the shape, CTRL to negate the shape. It works well in both - voxel and surface mode.

>>- Tool "Smart Extrude" is modified. Snapping of Edges if defining by "Auto Snap". Smart Retopo-> Mesh frequency can modify by "Ctrl + Mouse Wheel".

>>- Copy clay does not switch from voxels to surface after getting to other tool, it voxelizes the resulting surface. Of course this tool in general is far from perfect, especially >>for voxels, needs complete re-making.

>>- The lasso in E-panel got "relaxation" parameter for more accurate contours. In addition, the cut edge become perfectly smooth with the lasso.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Copy clay has really improved. Yes, at some point a pure Voxel Tool would be best. But for now it is really useable tool.

You guys do amazing work! Thanks.

There will be the build 95 with set of corrections, tomorrow I will go to short vacation (snowboarding, mountains, fresh air for the brain) till Saturday.

The 95 seems to be stable, but I will not set it officially as stable before vacation.

@Andrew Shpaginhave a great time it’s good to clear your mind when your programming all the time.  I’m also a coder so I know.

 

ciao’ Mano!

Maybe I miss something, but could the "Freeze" brush be added to the "Ctrl+Shift" menu? I'd love to have that functionality.

In the latest versions I get this error a lot. with simple tools or when just smoothing

That'd be welcome indeed!

can 3d coat set up a giving page or subscription to help with development costs... seeing as we get perpetual licenses and that money only goes so far... maybe if we all give 5 a month you could have enough to hire more staff and take the pressure off of the team

You can assign a hotkey to the Freeze brush (like F for example) by hovering over the tool and hitting the END key > make the assignment. Not only can you invoke it at any time with the hotkey, but you have Sticky Key Functionality, which can make it even more useful. Let's say you are using a Clay Brush and suddenly want to freeze mask an area around the eye...you can hold the assigned hotkey for the Freeze tool and paint that mask....let up when you are done an 3DCoat immediately switches back to the brush you were using.

You, sir, are a life saver. Thank you! I would still like to add other functions to Ctrl+Shift, but this is an insanely powerful tool to learn about after what.... 7 years or so since I first got 3D Coat? I'm throwing a little party here. Thanks again.

It's news to me too after six years.

I had it OFF, I have also tried to activate it and it has happened again.
Then this message appeared to start again.

I have tried to reproduce it in the previous version 2021.83 Mac. (shade debug mode OFF and ON)
Does not appear.
