[Solved] Set as background image

Hello,

 

I drag and drop an image on 3D coat and choose "Set as background"

The image is always facing camera and always stays on backround, scale and move do nothing on the panel settings.

Is this a bug ?

 

And the gizmos and rectangle zone containing the background image are not visible.

It's like a fixed background we can't remove.

 

I tried to find an option to remove it on all menus and did not find anything or it is pretty well hidden :rofl:

Some little help would be appreciated.

Ok found it.

Click on top righ camera icon -> Background -> Vertical Gradient

Really hard to find while could have been lot more intuitive , for example on menu view -> clear background image

This is a little tricky: Edit > Customize UI

- Left Paint Room tab can see a wrench icon, Edit the Current Room Settings

- Press with LMB  to show up Edit Menu Panel

Edit the room.jpg

To keep changes* active after sessions Use Script for the menu must be active

* all personal changes are stored at: C:\Users\username\Documents\3DCoat-2021\UserPrefs\Rooms\CustomRooms\Paint

- Press Edit... a notepad popups letting us to edit: menu.cpp

we like to add: Use vertical gradient to View Menu (i am adding it below Greyscale Panorama, change it to your location choice)

- To know the command, press RMB and MMB at same time

Greyscale Panorama command is:

// cmd - based script:
cmd("$GreyscaleLight");
// UI - based script, need to define the variable somewhere before: UI ui;
ui("$GreyscaleLight");
 

- So on menu script i search for it, found over this section:

void CreateViewMenu() {
    start_main_menu("VIEW");
    menu_item("ShadingOptions");///ShadingOptions
    menu_separator();
    menu_item("GreyscaleLight");///Greyscale Panorama

- Now Press RMB and MMB at same time over > top righ camera icon -> Background -> Vertical Gradient, to know the command script line

// cmd - based script:
cmd("$GradientBackground");
// UI - based script, need to define the variable somewhere before: UI ui;
ui("$GradientBackground");

- I added that line to the Menu View script

void CreateViewMenu() {
    start_main_menu("VIEW");
    menu_item("ShadingOptions");///ShadingOptions
    menu_separator();
    menu_item("GradientBackground");///Clear Background Image
    menu_separator();
    menu_item("GreyscaleLight");///Greyscale Panorama
    menu_item("VIEW_SHADED");///Smooth Shade
    menu_hotkey("5", 0, 0, 0);///5

- Press OK to close Edit the Room panel

- that's all, hope i was clear
