3D-Coat 3.1 updates thread

[JamesE]

My license for 3dc just became invalid. I updated to the latest version and was working in it just fine before going out to lunch. I left the software running while I was out and came back to find a message saying my license is invalid. Uninstalled it and tried to reregister... the web client says thanks for registering but the software is only running in demo mode.

Very curious to see what this Toothpaste tool is all about.

"It is close by feeling to rake/rapid tool but has different mechanics and produces very clean and smooth strokes. And main advantage - it is superb fast." -Andrew

Yeah me too. Next build I hope is soon.

Maybe I'm missing something. I just tried this, I switched to ortho view, went to the Top camera view, drew a long squiggly curve, and it was perfectly on the X/Z axis.

Edit: Here:

Aha. See, that's what I was missing. Thanks.

Are you on Mac or Windows?

Try to Help->Uninstall license, then enter key again.

Hey Andrew, it was for my windows license at work. I have a mac license I use at home. I tried uninstalling the license and reregistering but the program stays in trial mode.

Updated to 3.1.02 (linux build - later today or tomorrow)

Changes:

- Transform gizmo will auto-center when new volume will be selected.

- Muscle tool. This tool will allow to create muscles easily and grow model just from skeleton. Shape of muscle will depend on pressure.

- Toothpaste tool. It is close by feeling to rake/rapid tool but has different mechanics and produces very clean and smooth strokes.

- Multi-autosave done - you can specify amount of autosave files to store history of your work.

- I have add item Windows->Popups->Retopo groups

- Deleting strokes with 'Del" key in Stroke tool in Retopo mode done.

Look for file Program Fles\...3dc inst folder...\License.dat

Is there such file? If it is there delete it.

Ahh, Muscles is reminiscent of when I saw in the zspheres 2 video. Very tricky.

BTW Toothpaste may be my new favorite way to build up material.

Andrew, I downloaded 3.1.02 mac. Installation said successful! but when I launched 3DCoat it still said version 3.1.01. I tried a second time and the same thing 3.1.01. What could I be doing wrong?

new brushes (toothpaste and muscles) are very cool! Great look and feel!

good one...

It's a modification of the spike tool...with kinda different shape. Not too useful for me because of difficulty to achieve exact movement and positioning. Would be great if the tool would have some kind of surface detection to put the strokes upon exissting objects easily like the toothpaste tool. This is very cool and handy...Have you tried to subtract a toothpaste stroke? Gives some nice results...

Thx again Andrew!

I can easily add checker "Stick to ground" as in toothpaste tool.

Btw, question to all - is "Toothpaste" good name? If no, offer suggestions.
