Member macmonkey Posted July 16, 2021 Member Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 Hi There could i just confirm that as standard there are no presets installed? I need to download the Artman presets and install manually. I found one post that that i downloaded the presets and textures from but the file structure is different now in 2021 so there isn't an easily identifiable Presets and Textures folder to save them into. Any help would be much appreciated Many thanks Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member MarkC Posted July 18, 2021 Member Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 (edited) This post was recognized by Carlosan! MarkC was awarded the badge 'Helpful' and 1 points. I used migration master to import my brushes, presets, smart materials from V4. The 3DC_Brushes is quite extensive, so seemed to take a while, but then 3dc restarted with them added.

Carlosan Posted July 18, 2021 Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 Hi A new feature was added on latest versions -------------------------------------------------------------------- - Completely new folders structure. Really streamlined and logical as it was proposed. Almost all now is split between two folders - data and UserPrefs. As it is logical, UserPrefs is user-created content. Data is sort of temporary stuff. The folder in documents changed, now it is Docs/3DCoat-2021/. Even if the folders structure is changed it is compatible with the previous one. As soon as 3DCoat detects some files copied to the new location in Documents from the old one, it will convert the files to the new structure. Also, if you will install 3dcpack it will be installed correctly (except presets that use old tools that are not present in the toolset). So, to migrate from earlier version you may copy folders from old versions to Docs/3DCoat-2021 or create 3dcpack in old version and install using latest. Hope it help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member supereasy1001 Posted September 16, 2021 Member Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 Upgraded and installed 2021 latest version. Have tried repeatedly to use migration master. It successfully brought stencils and some other things over to 2021, but none of the smart materials. Many of which were just variations on pre-existing default materials with a few settings tweaked and renamed. In addition to the many custom 3D coat smart material packs that were installed. At this point I have like five versions of the software installed because I have to maintain functionality on my job. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 Have you tried this by copying your folders ? As soon as 3DCoat detects some files copied to the new location in Documents from the old one, it will convert the files to the new structure. - 3DCoat 2021 have completely new folders structure. Really streamlined and logical as it was proposed. Almost all now is split between two folders - data and UserPrefs. As it is logical, - UserPrefs is user-created content. - Data is sort of temporary stuff. The folder in documents changed, now it is Docs/3DCoat-2021/. > C:\Users\username\Documents\3DCoat-2021 Even if the folders structure is changed it is compatible with the previous one. As soon as 3DCoat detects some files copied to the new location in Documents from the old one, it will convert the files to the new structure. Also, if you will install 3dcpack it will be installed correctly (except presets that use old tools that are not present in the toolset). So, to migrate from earlier beta you may copy folders from old beta to Docs/3DCoat-2021 or create 3dcpack in old beta and install using UI.

Member supereasy1001 Posted September 16, 2021 Member Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 @Carlosan I don't understand what you are suggesting. Are you saying go an locate all the stuff I need migrated and copy it manually? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 Exactly, it is a workaround, sorry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member supereasy1001 Posted September 16, 2021 Member Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 Okay thank you for following up. Understood. It's a pain in the butt but it looks like it's working. I feel like this is something fundamental that they really need to address. All told I'm in like 3 hours now trying to get up and running so that I can continue working.

Member supereasy1001 Posted September 16, 2021 Member Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 Thank you very much! I'm a die-hard 3D coat fan and professional game developer. Didn't mean to sound ungrateful, but game Dev is always a mad crunch to get as much done in the time available and losing 3 hours to something like this can be a real pain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Metin Seven Posted January 8, 2022 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 I'm also missing the old presets in the latest version. A download with a preset pack would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've installed the latest 2021 version, and don't have the version I own installed. I believe that was 4.9. I assume the Migration Master works to move assets from an old version?

Advanced Member Metin Seven Posted January 8, 2022 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 Thanks! Are the brush presets still compatible with the new set of brushes in 3DC 2021? Also, off-topic, but is there a way to toggle the viewport from smooth shading to faceted shading (clear polygons, without normals smoothing) ?

Carlosan Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 Some yes, others dont... i just migrated from 4.9 and created an extension. Its trial and error... sorry. You mean low-poly ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Metin Seven Posted January 8, 2022 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 Thanks. I've tried Low-Poly, but the normals on my model remain smoothed. In Blender it's called Shade Flat: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Кроме того, не по теме, но есть ли способ переключить область просмотра с плавного затенения на граненое затенение (четкие полигоны, без сглаживания нормалей) ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
