Hi guys. I've found an awesome tool that can simply copy-paste meshes between 3D apps. The differance from applink is that this can exchange meshes with any 3D application. Essentially that's a 3D mesh buffer. This script needs an update to work with newer 3D Coat versions. Guys from Zbrush have updated this script for Zbrush and it works so well.  https://github.com/heimlich1024/OD_CopyPasteExternal

2024.27 issue. On first install I can open at end of install. Second time I try to open it hangs without opening. All drivers are up dated. I can install and run 2024.26. Windows 11, Nvidia 5000.  Hangs here.  

On Voxel mode you can try Clone tool  

Found a few bugs about Smart Extrude.   1. Edge shaking after using Deselect while using Smart Extrude. Steps to reproduce a Bug Create some polygons, go edge mode, use Smart Extrude, make extrude, press ctrl+D to make Deselect, make edge extrude again. Expected Result Edge extrude normally. Actual Result Edge shaking. 2. Deselect not working while using Smart Extrude. Steps to reproduce a Bug Use Smart Extrude, make extrude, press ctrl+D to make Deselect. Expected Result Edge is Deselected Actual Result Edge still selected.   3. Multiple edge selection not working properly while using Smart Extrude. Steps to reproduce a Bug Use Smart Extrude, try select a few edges with SHIFT button. Expected Result All edges are selected. Actual Result One edge is deselected.   3DCoat_BugReport_2.mp4    

Oh I see I need to switch to surface mode. Will try. Thanks.

I know how to download 2024.27 . I can open one time. The second time I try to open it hangs here. Im running Windows 11 pro, Nvidia A5000.  I have no issues with 2024.26. Theres something wrong with 2024.27. My drivers all up to date.

Work very well indeed. Thank you

On surface mode try using pick & paste

Download it from here  

Not happening. I cannot install 2024.27. It hangs on the small screen likes its opening but it doesnt. Tried installing twice.  Ive got the latest gitrhub release. I can send out of blender but not get back. At this point when I do texturing in 3dcoat I'll just export the textures. It only takes seconds to load them correctly into blender.

I honestly forgot if it was possible to clone an area like photoshop.  How can I clone the cloth pattern to another area.

You can download the working version here, or let 3DC install it automatically upgrading to version 2024.27 https://github.com/AndrewShpagin/io-coat3d * you need to uninstall the default version bundled with Blender, it is old

After reading this I went back in to see if mine was working as it did last time. Nope. Upgraded Blender to latest 4.2 LTS, 3dcoat is 2024.26 and the errors have returned. Its just easier to use open in external app and then go to the 3dc2blender and node them in.
