awesome. simply great

Here is what I get:

he doesn't mean the manual included with the app... only the manual itself is still the version 3.2

thx Andrew, hopefully I find some time to test it

[philnolan3d]

Yes, the downloadable manual needs to be updated. Personally I don't understand why we need a downloadable one when one comes with the program, unless it's just for people to heck out before they download the program.

Question, I never noticed this before though it might have always been true. I have downloaded the linux version 3.3 but noticed that it is opened with the Wine program emulating windows under linux. Has that always been the case? The linux version will not run unless I have Wine open it plus I have to reinstall my license each time. If this has been asked before, forgive me, I just started using Linux about a month ago.

Operating System Linux Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Edit: Since the linux version does not have a regular install should I just overwrite the version 3.2.11 folder and in that way are my settings saved and I do have to put my reinstall my license...

Edit: Ok, I just overwrote the 3.2.11 folder(after saving a copy of it) and my settings were saved plus no reinstalling of the license.

Thanks Andrew for another great update, Since 2007 I been seeing you listen,respond and do your best to give us the software that helps us create. Looking forward to seeing the brush engine updated too...

Manual was updated 3 weeks ago!

Looks like the links need to be updated.

Congratulations to Andrew and Pilgway. Looking forward to v3.4 now.

Does the 3.2 serial number work with this version? I keep pasting it in, hit register and the app quits. I restart and keep going in that cycle.

How do I input my serial into version 3.3?

Thanks Andrew

Thanks! the Ptex stuff is really neat I hope you can get that CUDA issue worked out soon.

[bobzilla]

OK. The serial number eventually worked. I've had this problem before. It seems to take a few tries to work.

I tried the Ptex workflow with Cinema 4D and it SORT OF works. The normal map is a little messed up. The strokes are broken up. The color map seems to have come over OK.

There's actually a lot of maps that aren't being used and C4D can't read .mtl files, so they have to placed manually, which isn't too big a deal.

Anyone else try this with C4D?

[philnolan3d]

That's strange, you shouldn't need to enter a serial number if you're upgrading. I just ran the installer and started playing with it.

[bobzilla]

Maybe since I hid my 3.2 version in case I wanted to go back to it, it made a new install.

[philnolan3d]

Oh yeah that would do it. I always just overwrite the old one, but keep the last installer in case I need to go back.

Check out this video by Javis Jones, it might help...

"3D-Coat Workflows - Ptex in external engines with no Ptex support"

[bobzilla]

Yeah, I followed that and all worked well...mostly. Something odd about the normal map it seems.
