The symmetry tool in the sphere tool needs to be fixed.

Ok, it works on the native library; I think the origin of the mesh is a mess up on the model dragged from the sculpt tree to the voxel model library :/

This tooltip refers to the mask being 'chosen', but how do you select between the layer and its mask? If I select the mask (which is on another layer), it still ends up on the layer's regular RGB channels

 

Edit: Ah, I understand now. I'll leave this and explain for anyone else who might wonder: you need to select the _name_ of the mask.

How do you think I could shortcut this staff? There is some `END` for a key, but I don't think it works. XD

[Carlosan]

Cant be assigned, it is hard coded.

Contact support@3dcoat.com asking for this feature request

Thanks

Matrix?

Edit: But because of this matrix, I can finally!!! use the same shortcut for 'align to view' in the Pose tool as in the Move Tool!!! This should obviously work like that. so this is not a bug XDDDD

The function is disabled, the setting is saved in a new session. Tested 2024.26

There should be ONE shortcut for snapping, not hidden in the second pie, because it is crucial, UX guys.

Two shortcuts for binding, Because editing a vertex and a tangent vector are different things, sir.

Okay, if they live beside but there are too many tools, an option in 3d coat to share some functionalities should be a significant margin time for better, faster, and more pleasant work with few tools, not multiplied that so often like right now it happens.

the ui and ux is the hardest on this software ... things are hidden all over and some things do the same as others .. im hoping they are working on it and a stable build ..

[tcwik]

Why does the color picker not mainly work with the alt key (in Paint Room) and the left mouse click? Or is it like an option in setup navigation?

Another mirage in the modeling room.

A small flaw in the title.
They need to be combined somehow, I haven't figured out how yet.
1st tool for training.

Sorry

Hello 3DCoat Team!

In Python

I made a nice Curve Create Script. But How can i get a point? Coat the function coat.Curve.point() returns a value not python compatible.

I would like to Store all points (XYZ) of a curve in a List. How? (to create a bounding box, because viewall does not work for curves)

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

-Access single Points,

-Select/Deselect Points by idx

-Modify Position, Type, smooth/sharp/, radius 

-ideally Tangents 

-open or close curve without $cmd

Here the working curve script for explorers:

import coat

 

# Create a new curve object

mycurve = coat.Scene.curvesRoot().addChild("New_Curve")

CurveInstance=coat.SceneElement(mycurve)

 

# Create a list of coat.vec3 objects

points = [

    coat.vec3(0.0, 0.0, 0.0),

    coat.vec3(1.0, 0.0, 0.0),

    coat.vec3(1.0, 1.0, 0.0),

    coat.vec3(0.0, 1.0, 0.0)

]

 

for point in points:

    coat.Curve(CurveInstance).add(point, coat.vec3(0.0, 0.0, 0.0), 2)

 

coat.Curve(CurveInstance).removePoints(2,2)  #remove some points test

 

# coat.Curve(CurveInstance).point()

 I hope everybody is doing well. All the Best!

Hi

Please contact Andrew directly asking for this.

Please Change the Shape format from .eps to .svg. Eps only causes errors and bugs in 3dcoat 2024.

[topato]

We are using the program well, and I would like to provide feedback on some issues we've encountered during our usage. I hope these can be addressed in the next update. I am currently using version 2024.26.

• When minimizing and maximizing the 3DCoat window, or after editing in Photoshop and returning to the program, the UV Texture Editor disappears. Once reloaded, it no longer allows resizing.

• After modifying the model and re-unwrapping the UVs, the color on Layer 0 is not filled properly.

• The configuration settings are occasionally reset to default.

• The default color selection setting is fixed to HSL. Even when changed to RGB, it reverts back to HSL after restarting the program.

2024.27 issue. On first install I can open at end of install. Second time I try to open it hangs without opening. All drivers are up dated. I can install and run 2024.26.

Windows 11, Nvidia 5000.  Hangs here.

 

[kritskiy]

I'm on 2024.27 and in previous versions I had a shortcut set to "Merge With..." but it doesn't seem to work anymore (worked in 2023 and before) — nothing happens when I press it. A similar "Subtract From..." works fine. I also tried setting a shortcut to "Copy & Merge With...", it also doesn't work.

.

 

 

Update: ooookey, it seems that it works, but differently. Instead of showing this little UI message:

...pressing the key instantly merges with the object under the cursor

A few bugs / UX issues: 

- When you are in surface mode and use Symm Copy 3DC will create a new layer called "Layer 1" if there is no "Layer1"

- When you paint in surface or voxel mode, 3DCoat will make a new layer called "Layer1"

- There seems to be no way to paint colors on the model without spawning a sculpt layer.

- I prefer not to work with sculpt layers in surface mode because I find them quite buggy. Vertices will randomly merge to different parts of the mesh with enough sculpting. Is there a way to disable sculpt layers creation unless it is intentional and/or have color painting possible on Layer0?

The first video is an example of how mesh will be garbled when applying symmetry in surface mode.

The second video is an example of the layer auto-creation issue

Freeze -> Smooth Freezing is much slower than Pose -> Smooth Selection

It would be cool if there was a way to quickly smooth / sharpen a selection

this has always been a thing for me too... especially when youre posing .. 

hopefully they cant make the smoothing process faster

Another issue while it's fresh in my mind:
Custom presets shortcuts cannot be invoked while the popup windows have been hidden. The "presets" menu needs to be visible in order for any shortcut for presets to work. This means I either have to show the presets menu "always show" even when ui is hidden, or just never hide the ui

 

repro steps:
- Add a shortcut to a custom preset in the presets docker
- Use the shortcut. The preset is correctly selected.
- Hide the presets panel using "toggle popup / docked windows"
- The same shortcut no longer selects the preset

Do you mean that presets are not selected when windows are hidden using tabs?

I have such a problem after updating 3coat to version 2024.27 (this also applies to version 2024 28-03), the program does not respond. This happened after installing debugry, PySide6, opencv-python, numpy. After closing the program and opening it again, 3dcoat does not respond, but after deleting the python-3.8.10 folder, the program starts again, but after automatically installing debugry, PySide6, opencv-python, numpy, after that it does not respond again

 

У мене така проблема після оновлення 3coat до версії 2024.27 (це стосується і версії 2024 28-03) програма не відповідає. Це cталось після встановлення debugry, PySide6, opencv-python, numpy. Після закриття програми і подальшого її відкриття 3dcoat не відповідає, але після видалення папки python-3.8.10 програма знову запускається, але після автоматичне встановлення debugry, PySide6, opencv-python, numpy  після цього вона знову не відповідає
