3DCoat 2024 development thread

awesome update! feels so more smooth and fast!.

when using lasso tools with sphere seems like there is no more option to chose either sharp border or round 

still having that issue with the brush rotation and the rotate alpha along brush stroke

[bocs]

any idea what is wrong, older version tools work as expected, but updating, they seem inverted???

picked 2021.60 as example then updated to 2021.76 they are "inverted"

I haven't installed every version to see where it changes, so tired of bugs in 3d Coat

*base clay was also doing it at one point...

IDK, maybe my error, but can reproduce it by switching versions

This is probably cause of treat as a vox hide introduced. Check brush options it should be on top

hi, I noticed this weird thing happening when using 2d paint tool, alpha seems to partly disappear when i do brush strokes on a surface, also depending of the size of the brush it would act the same way. But overall such a great update, can really feel the difference of performance!!!!

Good call. I can confirm this is indeed the case. With USE BRUSH AS VOXHIDE checked, it appears to subtract or indent with each stroke. This option should be turned off by default, though.

[Carlosan]

Yes, it was reported. Thanks

Buildup voxel tool can't remeber stroke type. Always it is without pressure sensitive.

[Arvart]

Please add some hotkey for smooth stroke option, also always after restart 3d-Coat smooth stroke turned on in custom tools and it strongly ruined first minutes of sculpting process.

[Arvart]

"Use CUDA" option turns off each time when new project have start.

[Arvart]

Customisation of the hot keys drop to defaults after each new update... as whole interface. I know all of this bugs are minor but it is user expirience, it's still important.

would be great to have the rotate along brush strokes work as it was before

sphere tool creation with rectangle lasso or any lasso kind of tool missing the choice of round/plane/sharp border

latest update is fast as hell, really amazing!

Yes, I will polish all that.

Guys,one thing should be done  - is to convert flatten brushes to voxel ones, and I will stop using surface mode completely.

I like to use surface tools on voxels, and especially the flatten brush (albeit in 4.9, but I think flatten works fine in 2021 now).

That said, the Scrape tool could be made to be something similar in pure voxels : -First, that annoying "soft scrape" checkbox should stop reverting to default (checked) each time you reopen 3d-Coat.
-Second, it could have a CTRL action similar to what flatten does (adding material).

Just my opinion.

I dont think it is abt liking or not. There is just no way to flatten mesh besides surface flatten brushes, scrape is completley unusable and unpredictable
