There has been a ton of incremental UI/UX work since V4.9 and these are clearly demonstrated on the Youtube channel. It's like none of the UI work done ever gets any appreciation. Nobody said there was going to be a complete overhaul and I honestly don't see the need for one. Why? Because no other 3D application has had one except Blender, and they received big donations from Mega sized corporations/companies. Every other app has only added minor cosmetic changes to the icons, essentially. 3DCoat changed ALL the icons in v 2021 and you say you have seen no changes since V.2? The Activity Bar was added and then recently modified to help minimize the number of panels in the UI. There was a Minimalist mode (toggled via the TAB key) added, so you can work with a very simple UI if you don't like the current UI layout. You can work in a practically bare UI and simply access the panels you want via hotkeys (or button assignments on a Wacom Tablet and/or 3DConnection Device). You have a nice, new Viewport Gizmo similar to what you see in other 3D apps such as Blender. You have Gizmo-Less Transforms like in Blender. You have Workspace tabs or Workspaces hidden away in a list menu...your choice. There are object highlights in the viewport, when a Sculpt Tree layer is selected. There are layer colors, new Layer/Clipping Masks with Thumbnails like in Photoshop...and best of all they are totally compatible with Photoshop's masks. UI Icon color changes have been made highly customizable. You can choose which fonts you want used in the UI. There are 3ds Max style RMB menus in the Modeling/Retopo Workspaces.   Andrew did a LOT of work improving the UI/UX the past few years and it's really disheartening to hear so many critics dismiss all that work as nothing.

Hello Yes, this issue was reported before The development team is working on it Thanks for point it up.

I hate Y is up (I quit Unity a while ago so nothing I have uses Y is up). Blender Z is up and Rhino is Z is up (maybe I changed a setting though, forgot), Substance Painter I don't really notice if it matters though, and my final destination is Unreal Engine 5+ and Z is up. So, I am learning 3DCoat and I changed it to Z is up... but in 3DCoat it isn't really making Z is up all the time? Example is I am in ortho mode and I go to the camera Front view in 3DCoat but  it says it is the Right view and the gizmo looks upside down? with Z up in 3DCoat: Front is Right, Right is Back, Back is Left, Left is Front, only Top and Bottom seems to work as expected   I think the gizmo just isn't being updated as Z is up and thinks Y is up? but it is all very confusing along with 3DCoats' non intuitive UI (so keeping a theme) Is this a known gizmo display bug or is this how 3DCoat just works? Confused.    

Message was send to developers Thanks for your support

Thank for advice, i appreciate. But to be honest these issues are minor for me, i know if i spend a bit more time with scan depth tool and topology I can get a better baking result. The major problem is 3DCoat can not bake model with overlapped UV. Substance Painter can do this. 3DCoat need extra UV set manipulation to do this. Also 3DCoat can't properly render Painter normal map. If you show me a solution of these problem i will be very appreciate. If you don't have it, send my message to developers, and maybe after year-two the problem will be solved .

Using this settings brings this result The backside edges have an offset To move the vertex will fix the issue. Any spot found means bad shell (i/o) settings Use scan depth tools to vary scan depth by zones (as are explained on this doc) Hope this help

It didn't help. I made video comparison . Here a part of my model. https://mega.nz/folder/ELMjSIzC#YPYBSuUWvr9406OvL4M-rw

Hi Elemo, I noticed that the painting layers look different now, and I understand the excitement for big changes but it is complicated because it depends on the 3dcoat architecture. While small improvements are always welcome, I believe the focus should first be on improving the user experience (UX). Why? Because although 3dCoat has a lot of powerful tools, it can be overwhelming for users to understand and navigate them effectively. For example, yesterday I was working with polygroups in the Retopo Room, but when I switched to the UV Room, my model disappeared. I couldn't figure out how to transfer my polygroups to the UV Room to create UVs. Each room feels like a completely separate entity, with no clear connection between them. This disconnect makes it challenging for new users to grasp the workflow and overcomplicates the pipeline for something as simple as creating a basic asset. Additionally, the inconsistency in shortcuts across rooms adds another layer of frustration. For instance, I'd like to assign different shortcuts for modeling and painting tasks, but the current system doesn't seem to support that flexibility. While the UI is not bad, it could definitely be refined with small improvements (as kaizen methodology). However, improving the UX should be the priority to make 3dCoat more intuitive and accessible, especially for new users as me.

This course covers scanning for photogrammetry from simple cameras to flash scanning. The methods and techniques found here progress from basic scanning to advanced scanning. Scanning for Photogrammetry The photogrammetry process is summarized as reconstructing a subject from digital images. Digital images are captured in a process called "scanning". The subject is scanned by taking digital images, using a digital camera, until every side, corner, and detail is captured. This course covers the basics of scanning for photogrammetry. Purpose The purpose of this document is to introduce the photographer or scanning team to photogrammetry scanning. The goal is to provide the knowledge necessary to understand and complete photogrammetry scanning. Scope The scope of this document includes specifics of photogrammetry scanning. For additional information, refer to the relevant photogrammetry document: Introduction to Photogrammetry Scouting Processing Laser Scanning Vegetation Scanning. Audience This document is intended for anyone interested in or already practicing photogrammetry that understands the advanced features and settings of digital cameras. Course Notation Throughout this course, information is marked by a note system. The notes found are marked by a distinguishable icon and are introduced by text indicating their purpose. Note: Notes add additional information about a topic or include links to additional resources. Caution: Caution notes indicate a potential for damage to equipment or to process result. These notes do not cover all cases or situations, but are intended to highlight the most common mistakes or potentials for error. Knowledge: Knowledge notes indicate areas where experience or prior knowledge is necessary and often include links to additional resources beyond the scope of this course.   Course Contents Course Overview Scanning a Surface Scanning Basic Shapes Subject Size Scanning Location Modular Asset Scanning Scanning on a Turntable Scanning with Drones Scanning Large Cliffs, Mountains, Buildings, and More
