Advanced Member jamie Posted October 1, 2010 Advanced Member Share Posted October 1, 2010 Works fine here. Any more info on what you're doing, sculpting, etc. that may help solve your crash? I'm loading a voxel sculpt from 3.5, nothing else. I did a fresh install, after deleting old install directory. The surface disappears under the brush first (in large square chunks), then it crashes. *EDIT - I tried just creating a new voxel sphere, same crash... Maybe I need to update drivers or something? *EDIT - yes i did need to update drivers, in particular DirectX. So if anyone else is having this problem, update your DirectX. Like it says during installation. Doh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member D.R. Greenlaw Posted October 1, 2010 Member Share Posted October 1, 2010 Wow! Awesome update Andrew, One of the computers I run 3DC on is an HP tm2 Tablet PC, which has been fast enough for many of 3DC's features, but because it lacks CUDA (this tablet has an ATI card) it was never very practical for voxel sculpting. This latest 3DC update seems to have changed that. Voxel sculpting still isn't as fast as on a CUDA enabled desktop system, but I'm thrilled that the sculpting tools are now reasonably fast on my tm2 now and practical to use. Of course on my workstation, everything is even better now. Keep up the fantastic work! G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member michalis Posted October 1, 2010 Advanced Member Share Posted October 1, 2010 The OSX build is slower than 3.5 and once again washes textures when baking. Here we are again. I returned to the older version sorry. I also reported a bug for 3.5 and 3.5.1 . It seems nobody noticed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I re-uploaded OSX build and this time I am sure speed should be on the very good level. But I still need some feedback to solve the issue that you mentioned.

Advanced Member michalis Posted October 2, 2010 Advanced Member Share Posted October 2, 2010 OK thanks, as for the issue let talk about it in the feedback topic. Downloading the build now. Update: new 3.5.1 ... "glorious" thanks Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Flipper Posted October 3, 2010 Member Share Posted October 3, 2010 3.5 was working just find in the paint room. I updated to 3.5.1 and now it is very sluggish. I went back to 3.5, but that too is sluggish now. OSX 10.6.4 2x3 GHz Quad-Core 16 GB NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member michalis Posted October 3, 2010 Advanced Member Share Posted October 3, 2010 Does anybody noticed the select tri, quads, ngons in topo menu option? Was it there before? Am I so blind? This made me more happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member wave of light Posted October 3, 2010 Advanced Member Share Posted October 3, 2010 Hi guys, I've recently downloaded 3.5 but it's telling me that I can't have the 30 day trial. Is this because I've downloaded 3.1 before? Cheers, Ricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this because I've downloaded 3.1 before? Cheers, Ricky. Probably so....but with all the changes/new tools added since then, I think Andrew would give you another 30 day trial at this point, if you e-mail them (sales@3d-coat.com) and ask.

To be honest, I think I'm going to purchase it anyway before the 15th. I might email him to ask for a small extension... the only reason being is I seem to be having issues with Painting on Voxel scuplts and no Auto-retopo menus. I'm going to have another detailed look at it tonight, might be something I'm doing wrong. Cheers, Ricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member wave of light Posted October 4, 2010 Advanced Member Share Posted October 4, 2010 Ok, forget previous comment about not being able to find the menu. As always I rushed in and didn't really read the manual. I can now create a auto-retopo mesh from a Voxel sculpt and paint on it. Blimey, this software would have saved me sooooo much time if I'd have used it for character texturing a couple of years ago. Going to see what else I can do this evening. Cheers, Ricky.

Advanced Member Frankie Posted October 5, 2010 Advanced Member Share Posted October 5, 2010 3.5.01 Cuda64 DX Win7 64 bits - 2x Xeon5160 @ 3GHz - 32GB RAM - GTX 285 2GB VRAM Just upgraded today from 3.5.00 and it won't load the scene I worked on the previous version. Stays blocked at 76% loading the file (not responding). The file is huge, but there is still plenty of memory available, see screenshot below. Also as I said it's working fine on 3.5 Rolling back to 3.5 now Franck. ED: Forgot to mention, it's a per-pixel painting project. Edit2: Just to confirm it does load after rolling back to 3.5.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is located at: C:\Users\"YOURUSERNAME"\Documents\3D-CoatV3 Just delete Options.xml and start 3DC back up, does this help? I tried again 3.5.01 while deleting the Options.xml file as you proposed, but the file won't load. Anyway how could it be corrupted if it does load well in 3.5 when I roll back to that version. I'd rather think memory management has changed in version 3.5.01 and has not been tested with large files yet. Back on 3.5.00 again until this gets fixed.

Advanced Member GeeJay Posted October 5, 2010 Advanced Member Share Posted October 5, 2010 Funny.. now that you mentioned this issue, I had a version of a file (2GB) that I couldn't load anymore since a couple of past revisions. I only lost 5 minutes of work so I didn't think much of it.. Today I tried loading it in the newest version and it works again! Strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Shpagin Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 Updated to 3.5.02 [beta] (Win+Mac, Linux - soon) changes: - 2 new powerful tools in paint room (Layers menu) - Clamp depth and Copy channels. Both respect freeze. Copy channel allows to copy any channel (R,G,B,Luminosity,Alpha,Specular,Depth) to any other channel of any layer. Copying masked by freeze. - more optimizations over speed, fixed most problems and instability issues from previous build. - docked windows will not be lost when you are dropping new object in 3dc with drag&drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
