hi just wondering... will you ever make sdf modelling inside modelling room? been using it alot lately and for hard surface and mechs its amazing!

When using “Edit All Layers in Ext. Editor” and adding layers in the external tool (Photoshop) before saving, if a layer with the same name already exists, the newly added layer will not be recognized in 3DCoat. Changing the layer name will allow it to be recognized.

The scale is 1000 because 3D Coat is using millimeters and Reality Scan meters. So going from 3D Coat to RC you need to multiply with 1000 to go to meters. Zbrush is not using real numbers for measurements.

Godot Engine 4.5.1 maintenance release has arrived, bringing nearly 100 fixes to ensure a safe and smooth experience. Update: https://80.lv/articles/godot-engine-4-5-1-launched-with-nearly-100-bug-fixes    

In 2025.11 the offset is in place.

Thanks! I resolved into just doing it that way. Overriding the UV map. I'll keep it mind for my next model.  

Hey there Wease! I have also encoutered this issue. Glad you brought it up. I did find this sort of workaround that proved very useful. In the upper right corner aside to the camera icon, near the action bar, I use the "custom menu" option to store that command there and invoke that menu via shortcut. Since I usually use it with the other options, it is easy for me to have them there all at once. 

I could not find the offset button on the curves tree RMB menu, nor when I directly RMB the curve. I'm currently on version 2025.05. Thanks.

walk before you can run , my approach when working with anything being organic or hard surface etc , i make the high poly (most detailed) first , i then decide how low poly i wanna make the final mesh and then go about retopologizing the high poly , once thats done depending on how my mesh is situated meaning am i holding anything or will anything cause were ambient lighting , if so i explode the mesh , basically you get everything ready uvmap done etc , then separate parts of the mesh and move them away from each other , that way when i bake them they wont collide with each other and give that (shadows where there should be none) look , after i put the low poly back together , then use the normal map ,  ambient map etc and then start my painting    if you wish to bake details you need a high poly mesh fore the low poly mesh to take data from and give you the normal map you wish .    hope this some what helped

Hi, Sorry, life in the way here again. As mentioned I am going about this sort of backwards.  I have an older merchant resource set of maps for a 3D figure, there are allot of shadows where there should be none and other bits that don't look very good.  So I smoothed out the diffuse to blur it out and repaired all the shadowed areas (Imagine a torse, ab area, one side has no shadows, clean, nice.  The other side looks like the photo was taken in a room where the light casts a shadow on that other side. it was a mess.  It's fixed now.   But then I needed to go back in and put in all the detail info like pores but I decided to work on the specular / bump so I could work in black and white.  What I want to do is bake that info into the diffuse map in hopes of 3DCoat generating a clean Normal map.  I tried generating one with the old diffuse info and it was a pixelated mess on parts and other parts looked just OK.   I working with a low poly imported OBJ.  If I need to make it into a high poly OBJ , not sure how to go about doing that.  It would be nice to have an option to upscale it within 3DCoat.   Again, sorry for the late reply.  LIFE!  

Evil_Weasel  Hi! A little report on Modeling/Retopo room. There is very often used command, to toggle low poly wireframe display ON/OFF, in 3ds Max we have it on F4, and I use it all the time. In Coat it is hidden in that drop down list, and when you hover over those commands, it shows standard tooltip - press END to assign shortcut, but it doesn't work for those commands in the list. Instead it creates shortcut for "choose checker style" which basically does nothing   So... You can't have a shortcut for Wireframe, which is very annoying in poly modeling.  

seems fine , cant seem to replicate , this is 99% decimation from 5.8 million

i just tried a tree mesh i have and didnt get any decimation errors..  ive got a few birch tree ones ill try them

It does happen with pretty much any object but not all.They all come from reality capture but as soon as they are voxelised it shouldnt really matter. I'll try a few other meshes and see how common it is.

I tried the same thing with photogrammetry objects. I didn't see any glitches. More steps are needed. Perhaps there's a problem with your specific object.

Hello! Upload the model directly to the Retopology room and create a new UV map.
