camera proximity slow down - paint room

[b33nine]

I'm curious if this is a known issue or there is a way to solve this particular problem. When using any of the selection painting tools i.e. splines/rectangles/circles/draw with contour/irregular shape I get incredible slow downs when I have a very close camera view. When I close a shape or release the mouse on a shape tool the program hangs for a minute or longer. Often it will go into (not responding) mode and I'll just have to wait it out until it can finish.

Conversely, if I zoom out and make a selection on the same area or use a brush with the zoomed in view, I don't get any kind of problems. Any ideas?

anybody with some insight on this?

This is a bug, for sure. It's been reported, but, in the mean time try deleting the "Options.xml" file from your "MyDocuments/3dCoat" directory. Sometimes this eliminates the problem.

Just be forewarned deleting that will reset any UI changes you've made so you might want to back them up first through Windows > Store Workspace and possibly the preferences too with the Save button at the bottom of that panel.

Was this ever addressed? I've never seen an improvement in this area even after deleting the options file. I want really precise selections with the lasso, but when I zoom in and make a shape it freezes for a minute or more.
