New Member TZA Posted August 18, 2021 New Member Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 Hi, I recently switched to 2021 but cant find any brush presets, just a default folder left blank. I'm assuming its a bug. Is there anywhere to download them separately and import them in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 Hi Brush preset is empty by default, let you add your own presets. Please read this related thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member echoform Posted August 25, 2021 Member Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 @Carlosan thank you for the link. I want to migrate the amScifi A, B, C brushes to work in 2021 but getting mixed results. It works with on a default sphere but when you have a custom model, the brush does not work. I think the translation is offset in a weird way. Is it possible to migrate those brushes properly to 2021, or is there a good way to recreate them with the new brush engine? Thank you.

Carlosan Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 Sadly you need to recreate it manually because all brush engine has changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member echoform Posted August 26, 2021 Member Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) @Carlosan I understand the situation. However, I am not an expert in brush creation. So I was asking if there is information on showing similarities and differernces between the old brush settings and the new ones. I tried many things and making cutlines like v4.9 is not possible for me in v2021. Even in v4.9 there's no way I could have made the am-scifi brushes on my own.

Reputable Contributor digman Posted August 26, 2021 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 Show me some examples of the brushes used on a sculpt object and I will see what I can do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member echoform Posted August 26, 2021 Member Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 @digman please see the attached image. The amSciFi brushes were one of the most useful brushes for hard surface panel detail work. I am very disappointed it is very unstable in v2021. It makes sense because the new version of 3DCoat does not support live clay brushes anymore. It would be amazing if you can recreate this. Thank you so much for your help!

Only in some brushes (in surface mode) you will find some settings belonging to Live Clay such as the Snake Clay brush.But in the future, I think all brushes will be converted to the new system. Below I show you the steps on how you can activate the local subdivision option for the new brush system: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member echoform Posted August 26, 2021 Member Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 @digman thank you for your efforts. I think the base foundation is good on your brush settings. The one thing I wish was possible is a much deeper cut. If you look at my screenshot, the grooves are much deeper. I tried to make things deeper when I was experimenting but I could not achieve those results with my limited knowledge. @Carlosan thank you for the information. do you think with the proper settings, it's possible to get very clean results that the amSciFi brushes achieved in 4.9?

Reputable Contributor digman Posted August 26, 2021 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 Making a deeper cut is easy. Increase depth of the brush according to your need. One depth setting is not good for all situations. I was working on the foundation, producing a clean cut with the edges not too rounded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 Close test as fast as i can. Need fine tuning. amScifi_A.3dcpack 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member echoform Posted August 26, 2021 Member Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 wow. thank you @digman and @Carlosan @digman that looks really good. do you mind sharing your settings? @Carlosan i will try your pack file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor digman Posted August 27, 2021 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 I will create a 3DC pack for the brush and the alpha. The alpha creation tool gives much more control over alpha creation now. Plus top menu settings as well, I will include with some tips. Tomorrow I can do it and will send them through PM so you can test. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member ALF Posted March 12 Member Report Share Posted March 12 Just wondering, where can I find presets. It's has close to nothing in it. I see so many videos on YouTube that have tons of presets showing. I am new to 3DC, so is there a pack that I had to download or I have to setup the directory in the preference to make all those brush presets available. Thanks, AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
