I noticed this completely by chance, thought I would give a heads up

The curve Text tool or type tool from B55 is not present in latest 2021.x versions

The curve Text tool needs some work.

This is removed temporarily till it will be polished. Currently, it is too raw, but will be available soon, the main job is done.

Hi Andrew if you still keep polish UI, can I ask 3d coat add clear 3d global axis sign in 3d view?

I often lose current axis in 3d view, though I know 3d coat offer the small (it may change with camera view setting or view scale ) 3 color line as 3d axis sign but it really difficult to check which direction is global X or - Y as visual, and I do not think there is another option which can show axis with grid .

you may find axis arrow in many 3d aprication view.  (so do not attach sample of another)  do not request cool widgt etc but anyway hope it clear show each global axis direction (and on and off it need) along with current view.

hello, 3D-coat 2021 is so good. thank you for your hard work.

 

this is not a technical issue. but it is important for Japanese people.

Japanese Language UI of new 3d-coat  is unnatural. probably it is automatic translation.

Japanese people are bothered by unnatural language.

 

dear translator of 3D-coat,

if possible,  I would like you to improvement that by your hand.

or, if there is not translator, please set up "Japanese translation discussion forum".

clean language is important for Japanese people.

(old version translation was splendid. )

 

most important thing is technical development of course.

but if possible,  please think on it.

thank you.

Yes, we will discuss it, I will contact you directly, Japanase community is very important to us.

The question - does the 19 build show all characters correctly on Huge/Extra large fonts mode?

Supporting 4K and new font renderer look so sharp. It's awesome for me.

But I don't know this depends on Huge/Extra large font size, but sometime characters on tail are missing.

Some sentences on attached image, red characters, 象, 画, 出 and 択 are missing.

For easy to read, it looks that some characters need more spacing for japanese characters '、'(comma), '。'(period).

I think it would be better that you refer 'Advance' in font glyph instead of glyph metrics to render characters .

Mr.Andrew,  reply thank you.

I verified Large font mode. 

probably it is correct at the moment.  Good. 

(my PC is not 4K.  sorry I can not check it  perfectly.)

Oh !
I notice just now the "soft scrape" tick box for the scrape tool !
This is fantastic, because that means you can leave Cuda on in geometry menu and untick "soft scrape", instead of constantly having to disable Cuda when you (I, at least) want to use Scrape tool.

Yet, I have this question again, like for the muscle tool : why are the tool options for those tools on the top bar where you could fail to see them for months or years, instead of in the tool options panel ?

Oh! (again)
I realized just now that "soft crape" was already there in 4.9
Never saw it until today...
Top bar is just not the right place for tool options, is it ?

- Fixed performance problem when Coat was able to freeze up to 30-40 seconds when you draw very quickly with voxel brushes. Now in complex situations, FPS may drop, but Coat will follow stroke and will not freeze. Performance of brushing increased overall.

- Fixed potentially random problem in voxel brush engine. In some cases, it may lead to the permanent disfunction of the tool - slowdown and other bad things. Possibly it was causing a random mesh disappearing problem reported in this thread.

- If you click on the slider and drag to change the value the SHIFT decreased speed 10x, CTRL - 2x, CTRL+SHIFT - 20x.

- UI tweaks to make 4K resolution look correctly for all font sizes.

- 2d paint creates the correct shape in E-modes.

- The offset problem is now fixed in a straight way, that was really tricky. Several last builds had a "hacky solution", the stroke was approximated by comparison of mouse and pen position. So the possible result was the lack of precision. Anyway, need to check if all that works for all configurations.

- Tools SpineTool and SurfaceSweptStrip polished.

Hi Andrew

Thanks for your hard work

- Sketch is not working

 

- Airbrush 

Space and dots painting with any stroke

 

- Pencil

The brush does not change alphas

[digman]

Windows version 2021.20

Voxel mode.

Disappearing voxel model using Clay Engine---Base Clay Brush

To reproduce:

From New menu---Voxel Sculpting. Choose the third sphere to the right.

Select Base Clay brush under Clay Engine.

Make one stroke with the brush

Make another separate brush stoke

Sphere disappears.

@Carlosan

Windows version 2021.20

My airbrush appears to be working correctly.

Airbrush: Try this settings please

X shortkey does not change color but this axis appears

I am glad about the growing pace of development of the program. Congratulations to the developer for purchasing a 4k monitor.

There is a bug in the .20 version. I can not close the start window (which is in the center of the screen). going to any room works and the window disappears.
