Hi Mihu83, not sure if this helps address the issue, but there is a "Reset This Page to Default" option. I may have misunderstood your post, so I apologize if I did.

Nope, this setting will reset any custom Render Room layout(windows arrangement). What I've meant with Reset Settings, is bringing lights, fog, DOF, etc. to defaults.

Ahh, Gotcha! now I understand.  Thanks for clarifying.

YAY - and a big thank you to Andrew and the 3DC development team. 3DCoat 2022.25 resolved my symmetry issue. Many thanks. You guys are simply the best.

may be an issue with merging on 2022.25, keeps crashing... sent a bug report

Latest stable .24 has an issue with lasso that seems to jiggle:

it's actually on all tools, but seems to come from importing an fbx.

When exporting a sculpt object, face normals seems to be always broken if no decimation is applied:

(need to recalculate outside, set from face in edit mode in Blender for example.)

even if decimated it is true

retopo mode still doestn have closest from camera snapping. It makes retopo meshes with close surfaces(or surfaces behind them) real pain.

In the render room:

- only the Composite render pass works (realtime mode). when the others are selected weird greenish stuff appears on screen. would be cool if somebody can tell me how to get depth renders.

- is there a tutorial or documentation about nodes? I tried to experiment couldnt figure out and when I tried to cancel 3DC crashed. then I tried with some default tools in the render room crashed always when I tried to cancel. didnt send reports. 

-also resetting the render room doesnt delete the lights or doesnt reset at all maybe? lights I placed were still there after crashes for sure.

Be safe,

3D Coat 2022.24 has a very weird issue when in the SCULPT room I import a dense 3D scanned object with the option "With  out Vozelization" selected the object appears fine. I upgraded to 3DC 2022.27 and the issue remains.

But once I hit APPLY the model balloons.

This only happens when I select "IMPORT W/O VOXELIZATION"

If I unselect "IMPORT W/O VOXELIZATION" I do not have this issue.

3DC 2021 works fine and does not have this problem.

Thanks kindly....

It has 3 modes...nearest, nearest along normal and outer surface. I think outer surface would most closely match what you are trying to do, here. Ghosting your Sculpt Object will let you see through it, in order to pick vertices that somehow fall beneath the Voxel Surface. This video may offer some useful tips in situations like this.

When I open a saved 3DC file which I was working on previously in the Paint Room with 3DC 2022.27, the model is not there but the UV maps are displayed.

But displays fine in 3DC 2022,27 UV room.

Opening the same project file with 3DC 2021 the model appears in the Paint Room and everything is fine.

Send this workfile to Andrew (via the Help Menu > Send file to Support) and send and email to Andrew, explaining the situation and let him know if it is repeatable on your side. It might not hurt to also update your graphic card drivers and restart the app to see if that has anything to do with it.
