Hi all,

FYI

For those of you who wish to avoid, where possible, subscription only software like Photoshop - I just wanted you all to know that the no-subscription-Affinity Suite (Designer & Photo) works well with 3DC.  It's not fully integrated so there are a few extra clicks but that's all.  Both Designer & Photo can import & export in psd format therefore, if you wish to edit a layer, simply export layer & open in AfD or AfP, you get the UV's on a layer too just as in Photoshop. Edit as needed, then export it as a psd. Back in 3DC just import layer

I was wondering if there is a proper bridge to either Affinity or Photoshop.  I'm using Textura and the only built in link is the one to Blender.

Need to set the app link on Preferences

To be able to send layers to PS or AP

Hi, The Affinity app is in an odd place and, on my system is not accessible by 3dCoat. I had to learn this because of blender.

The exe is in a appdata, buried. 

How to get this to work for 3dcoat? Or, what's your location?

Create shortcut on Desktop and link the path to that exe location.

Hope this help

I appreciate reading your assisting posts. I see the passion. 

I made the shortcut. If double clicked it works. When attempting to access from an other app, it doesn't work.

Still won't permit access to the folder. Any other suggestions? 

I've claimed ownership of the folder. 

My shortcut doesn't seem to fool the system. It still says no go to that folder. 

Thanks.

Robert
