You need to be able to use different modeling technologies. -Low Poly -Sculpting -Free Surface -Parametric solid Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Elemeno Posted January 8 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 8 unfortunately the modelling room still doesnt work very well ... the selection of vertices ,edges,faces etc should impact the gizmo ... so maybe selection could be right mouse button? ... and gizmo can only be lmb i love learning new software's but the modelling room tools and functionality is so confusing .. i learned houdini faster and ive been using 3dcoat for many years now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please watch the new video. video https://youtu.be/ZbXuB8_PTxk if you select a face and that face happens to be behind the gizmo it doesnt select it due to the software thinking i want to use the gizmo , a quick fix for this would be RMB for select and the maybe space for mesh menu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitting ESC clears just the gizmo. Hitting it a second time clears the selection. I personally have no problem just hitting the ESC key when I want to make a different selection > hotkey to re-activate the tool. However, a better solution might be to just enable a default hotkey to hide/unhide Transform Gizmos, throughout 3DCoat, because this would help with the Pose tool (Sculpt Room) also.

Please watch the new video. video Alexander, can you please add a parameter to the Tool Options panel for the EDGE FLOW tool, so users can make adjustments to the degree of the (new) curvature? It's a really nice feature, but the equivalent tool in 3ds Max...SET FLOW, has a slider in the tool options to adjust how much of that effect is applied. Sometimes the default value may be a bit too much. Set Flow in Blender (pretty much the same feature as in 3ds Max) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member Elemeno Posted January 9 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 9 its hard , im used to a very primitive way of poly modelling and doing anything inside 3dcoat modelling just seems extremely long, i honestly feel like this room could be completely reworked to have it close to maya and 3dsmax but if we could closer to blender would be perfect i know i could just use blender but im tired of moving back and fourth between the two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted January 9 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted January 9 2 minutes ago, Gorbatovsky said: You can use a hotkey Ctrl+D to hide the selection. Gizmo is also hiding. CTRL + D clears the selection completely, rather than just hide it (temporarily). Which brings up another important need in the Modeling/Retopo workspace...RESELECT. Sometimes it takes quite a bit of effort to make a selection and an artist will want to reselect it quickly if they accidentally deselected...or perhaps they deselected on purpose, and then realized they need to get it back for one reason or another. Currently, it can be a big pain in the buttocks, if a user needs to reselect in 3DCoat. Also, users can store a selection in 3DCoat, but it is not very convenient to use, because it is stored in a file on the hard drive, rather than in a List Menu. We should be able to store selections and quickly recall them in a list menu, located in the Toolbar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please, have some artists with great experience in 3DCoat as alpha tester and for feedback before publishing the new room. Plus checking with some previous posts here and there would be a nice benefit too 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Sal_GC Posted February 3 Member Report Share Posted February 3 Hello everybody! I hope you all had a nice start of year. I have been absent of 3D modelling and the forums for some time and recently I have come back to it with 3DC. I am noticing the changes and where the discourse is. I want to ask, does anybody know if parametric modelling is planned for in 3DC? Say like modifier stack in 3DsMax/Blender. Thanks and it feels good to be back.

Member Sal_GC Posted February 3 Member Report Share Posted February 3 Oh, nice to know! However, I was wondering if modifiers are being considered as an addition to the Modelling room, for beveling, smoothing etc. I mostly intend to use 3DC for assets for real time rendering so I focus of polygonal models. Perhaps this parametric solids can later be converted to meshes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
