Circular inserts. While trying to duplicate the video I wasn't getting the same results or even close. Quad Remesher nails it every time. Perhaps Im missing something in the set up?

Yes.     Yes.

Poor quads on side view. Using Quad Remesher or Qremeshify (Blender) topo is clean no mater what density used.

The connectivity around round detail breaks when increasing or decreasing density. In this case .4 density gives good results but increasing or decreases breaks connectivity. Perhaps Im missing a setting?

I have added a checkbox Edit > Preferences > Brushing > Hide Brush Center Cross. It will be available in the next 3DCoat 2026.26 build.

Try importing as Surface model on Sculpt room and then perform autopo from there Paint strokes will help to look it better

Linux 2026-25 flatpak version   3dcoat refuses to perform AUTOPO on this model and would like to know if 3dcoat can do anything that fixes the model so it can perform AUTOPO The AUTOPO works if i just sculpt a cube in 3dcoat, i thought first that it was that AUTOPO refused to run on linux but it seems to be this specific model? Plasma.zip

It's great that you switched to flatpak, before it was just easier to run 3dcoat in wine on the exe version 

Hole fill. Currently the holes are filled with quads and triangles. Can the hole be filled with quad only?

I like the Collar option. Could this also have an option of being 2 sided? As it works now it only has the collar on the flat surface, being a boundary loop we should have the option to have it also applied to the inside curved surface. That being said also have an option to determine the off-set distance of the Collar?  

Version 2026.25 - updater still overwrites custom shaders. Shaders created with "default" or mat cap are still in my custom tabs, but everything else is gone. Weird thing is, when I go to 3DCoat shader directory, most shaders are still there, but 3DC doesn't see them.

Please write here.

Yes thanks ! Remember to select the Project CADQuader to report any issue https://3dcoat.com/mantis/view_all_bug_page.php

Paint with greater confidence. Color Harmony is a floating color-theory and palette-generation tool for 3D-Coat, designed to streamline color selection and help artists create more cohesive, expressive textures directly in their painting workflow. Sample a color from your model using the V key to generate five classic color harmonies, explore material-specific value ramps, and create chromatic neutrals without leaving the 3D-Coat viewport. Built around perceptual color models, customizable hue shifting, and practical painting presets, Color Harmony brings essential color tools together in one convenient workspace. Key Features 1. Five Color Harmony Systems Generate complementary, split-complementary, analogous, triadic, and tetradic palettes from your selected color. Explore alternative color relationships and build cohesive palettes for characters, props, environments, and stylized assets. 2. Seamless Viewport Workflow Sample colors directly from your model and apply any generated swatch to your active painting color with a single click. Keep your palette accessible while rotating your model, sampling additional colors, and painting. 3. Perceptual Value Ramps Generate structured light-to-shadow variations using Oklab or CIELAB lightness to help create more consistent perceived value steps. Optional hue shifting introduces warmer highlights and cooler shadows, or the reverse, according to your artistic direction. 4. Four Material-Oriented Presets Explore different value and color distributions with presets tailored to common material types. Fabric: Soft tonal transitions suited to cloth, wood, and matte organic surfaces. Metal: Concentrated highlights, compressed midtones, and stronger value separation for stylized metallic surfaces. Crystal: High-chroma color variations and bright highlight accents for gems and glass-inspired materials. Skin: Warm and cool tonal variations inspired by subsurface scattering and the natural color variation of skin. These presets provide artistic starting points rather than physically based material simulations. 5. Chromatic Neutrals Generate seven neutral and near-neutral color options using complementary color relationships. Adjust the Mix and Chroma controls to explore subtle color biases and create more nuanced alternatives to flat gray. 6. Two Color Harmony Engines Switch between two approaches to color relationships: Artistic RYB: A traditional red-yellow-blue color wheel designed around familiar pigment-based color relationships. Digital HSV: A hue-based color wheel suited to conventional digital color workflows and stylized graphics. 7. Adobe Swatch Export (.ACO) Export generated palettes as Adobe Color Swatch (.aco) files using dedicated export controls. Transfer your palettes to compatible applications such as Adobe Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint, and Procreate. Compatibility Operating System: Windows 10 and Windows 11 (64-bit). Host Application: 3D-Coat versions 2023, 2024, 2025, and compatible Print editions.
