I updated 2025 to 2026, and it feels unusable compared to the 2025 version. When I load a painted model the texture loads piece by piece and the viewport feels sluggish and choppy. Does anyone else have this problem and is there anything that I can do about it? I have to use the 2025 version as it works smooth as butter.

Folks,  Over 10 years ago I purchased 3D Coat and used it merely for voxel smoothing of mesh files.   Nothing fancier than that. I stuck to using version 4.8.10, because its scaling of imported files was easy for me us.    Later versions used a gumball for scaling and I never figured that out. My old Windows 10 computer finally died and I need to reinstall that old version.    Can someone help me, please?   I sorely need this version. Thanks, Leo

The Fill tool's 'Use Color [Albedo] Tolerance' feature isn't working for me. Even with it on, it fills the entire area at once. Is there a fix for this? The Selection Tool is strange as well.

Hi, when i zoom in 3dcoat 2026 the zoom seems to kind of glitch super fast ( almost not visible, but still annoying ), is not a smooth zoom, this doesn't happen in 3dcoat 2024-26. Video attached    2026-08-24 16-53-11.mp4

Please help Thanks 2026-08-24 16-45-19.mp4

Making the layer 0 transparent seems to be the safest way to approach this. Not seeing any artifacts. It is also useful to see how to approach this with the node editor. Thank you all.
