Contributor Tony Nemo Posted March 7, 2012 Contributor Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 The picture shows my problem: the edge loop select color is green and doesn't show against the green mesh color. A search of Help and through the menus didn't yield a result so I ask the forum to help me proceed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member The Candy-floss Kid Posted March 7, 2012 Advanced Member Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Good question. I wish I knew too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javis Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Hi Tony! This doesn't exist, yet. I've put in a feature request for it in the past. You could probably bump the request or email Andrew directly with its importance. (I think it is rather important) Here is the mantis report: http://3d-coat.com/mantis/view.php?id=32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor Tony Nemo Posted March 7, 2012 Author Contributor Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Now my problem is getting the material I have chosen to actually color the face, I line up the image but when I paint it uses the palette colors. Am I sypposed to use a particular brush? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor TimmyZDesign Posted July 3, 2012 Contributor Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 + 1 I also would like to be able to control the mesh color in Retopo and UV rooms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philnolan3d Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 I've been requesting a way to change the retopo color since the retopo was introduced. I'm still hopeful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reputable Contributor digman Posted July 3, 2012 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 +1 I feel like I'm tripping with all the color changes in the retopo mesh... One color for the whole retopo mesh. One color for polygons that are disconnected. One color for the virtual symmetry side of the mesh. These colors would be set from the preferences menu and changed when needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor TimmyZDesign Posted July 3, 2012 Contributor Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 +1 I feel like I'm tripping with all the color changes in the retopo mesh... Ha ha ha digman! You crack me up! Anyways, I figured out how to at least change the color of mesh sections in the UV room (but you still can't choose the exact color you want): In the UV room, if you use the "Add clusters" tool to click on parts of the mesh, they will change color without adding seams. Then switch to the "Mark seams" or "UV Path" tool to add the actual seams that you want. Not the greatest solution, but it helps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted July 3, 2012 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 I think the easiest solution for Andrew to implement would be to "Ghost" the Retopo mesh (leave it editable, of course) with a single (30% gray) color toggle/checkbox next to the Z-Bias one. The only time that the fruity colors come into play is when you are eating cereal...oops...I mean, when you are working in the UV subsection.

Member 3DTutorial Posted July 7, 2012 Member Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 I agree, this is a real PITA. IMHO the ability to change both opacity and the colour of the retopo mesh is something that is really badly needed. I've also been asking for this for a long time... a long time. I hope this functionality will be added one day. *** UPDATE *** I've just noticed that in the recent beta build [6.07.2012] 3.7.14 Opacity of the retopo mesh can now be altered! This is great news, I've not tried it... will test shortly. Big Thanks !!! Cheers, J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philnolan3d Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Curiously the Opacity never really goes to 100% but that's fine by me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javis Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Here's a report I made on mantis some time ago for retopo color, maybe posting there will get more attention (since Andrew has been fixing/adding stuff from mantis lately). http://3d-coat.com/mantis/view.php?id=32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member jay27 Posted December 25, 2013 Member Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 is it exist yet? i can't find and would be nice If it isn't then +1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philnolan3d Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 I don't think this was ever taken care of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member jay27 Posted December 25, 2013 Member Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 I see. I'm working on a robot, and i'm using multiple retopo patches (by mechanical parts) and now can't see the patches, so can't see my breakdown, would be nice exactly that what you have posted above (the colored image).

Contributor Tony Nemo Posted December 25, 2013 Author Contributor Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 What do you see (post an image)? I ask because if you are setting points and faces on the wrong side of the symmetry plane the faces wont be visible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member jay27 Posted December 26, 2013 Member Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 So, for example, i cut my retopo mesh into parts, then i export it to blender, to do polymodeling based on it. https://www.dropbox.com/s/0wps5l1hh3c8th9/kepp.jpgand that would be nice, to see the different retopo layers in different colors(like on phinolan3D user's image), to help me to do better planning,...
