i thought stencils were black for unaffected areas aand white for the affected areas.... 

Hi Can you share the stencil to take a look

I'm a bit out of practice with 3DCoat, so this might be a bit of a dumb question. I have a texture where I want 50% grey to remain level with the existing surface, black to be indented, and white to be extruded. If I set this as a brush texture, and use Stamp Mode, it behaves as I want.     However, I want to use a similar texture as a stencil, so I can repeat it across a surface. When I clear the texture from the brush, and apply a stencil, I get this:     Black areas of the texture remain at the original surface level of the object, white is extruded the most, and grey is extruded half way. How do I get stencils to work in the same way as a brush set to Stamp?  Cheers

NodeGraph Language (NGL) NGL is a material description language based on the GLSL shader language. It is used in 3DCoat to create nodes for materials, effects, deformations, and more. The language includes a preprocessor that handles custom defines and provides additional features needed for node description. Code Structure Unlike standard GLSL, NGL offers flexibility in how you structure your code.

I don't get as many as you do, but I already reported this and there should be a resolution in the next build.

RTX Spark — a 1-Petaflop Superchip, the Full CUDA and RTX Ecosystem, and Windows-Native Agents — a New Beginning for Personal Computers. By combining an Arm-based CPU with a Blackwell architecture RTX GPU and up to 128GB of LPDDR5X memory, it enables laptops to run 120-billion parameter AI models locally. Designed for AI, creating and gaming, RTX Spark brings together 30 years of NVIDIA innovation — including NVIDIA CUDA®, NVIDIA RTX™, DLSS, FP4, NVIDIA TensorRT™, NVIDIA OptiX™, Reflex and G-SYNC® — to slim Windows laptops with all-day battery life and small, ultraefficient desktop PCs. “The PC is being reinvented,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “For forty years, you launched apps. Click. Type. With RTX Spark and Microsoft Windows, you ask — and the PC does the work. RTX Spark brings everything NVIDIA has built — CUDA, RTX, our AI platform — into a single superchip. Local agents. Frontier models. Creative workflows. RTX games. All on a laptop. This is the new PC. The personal AI computer.” The RTX Spark superchip features an NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores and fifth-generation Tensor Cores with FP4 precision, connected via the NVIDIA NVLink®-C2C chip-to-chip interconnect to a high-performance, 20-core NVIDIA Grace™ CPU.

I just reopened one of my projects in 2026.02 and this is what I'm seeing in the Voxtree    Is this happening to anyone else on sculpt meshes after working in the paint workspace?  I didn't look like this when I closed the file previously.

Deleted everything and reinstalled to version 2025.17 Brushes have reset to how they worked before, pinch brush responding as before which is good.  

they are developing a cad room , i believe its been in dev for a while now and im not 100% sure on this but one of the developers actually built a cad program prior to 3dcoat or while developing 3dcoat so they have lots of knowledge in that area , its jsut the job of incorporating cad tools into the 3dcoat workspace , how the surface would be voxelized etc , this will make hard surfaces so easy now!

Nodes System and GPU Texturing chapters was added to the documentation https://3dcoat.com/documentation/manual/nodesystem/ https://3dcoat.com/documentation/manual/texturing/

Hello, What cad modeling tools?!?! I think I'm missing a note here: could you please share with me more informations or a video about those? Thank you

You are very welcome. I hope you are able to work with it.

Yep, I'm wondering about it too, as it is a pretty huge waste of vram.

Hello! Was just curious if this is planned for fixing? Thank you for attention!

Thanks for the answer  

The latest development is that Pilgway is using the Linux Flatpak. You can see more information with the Linux Developer's post in this Linux section of the forum:
