    • I'm testing out 3DC for creating uvs.  I think the cluster tool is really useful for quickly creating islands and then unwrapping However - the tool isn't quite working the way I'm expecting.  I'm not sure if this is a bug or I'm just missing something. My expected behavior is that I've i create these clusters, it would create seams along those boundaries - particularly if I have add auto seams toggled on.  However when I hit unwrap, the unwrapper acts as if I have no seams
    • It's working well in my machine! maybe you can try to re install or clear the 3dcoat cache.
    • Thanks. I don't seem to have steady stroke in my panel. I was using scrape.  Edit* Okay, I see other tools do have it.  I restarted 3d coat, started a new project and now it seems to be fine. If it happens again, I will check out steady stroke. 
    • Desktop 2025-01-17 21-48-30.mp4   2024.32 broke voxel brushes  
    • Does anyone know why this is happening? I am sculpting the box. If I use the mouse it works fine. If I use a stylus, my stylus pointer is at the corner of the box where it should be, but as soon as I start drawing, a black line appears moving the sculpting cursor a few inches away from where it should be. So now, that circle is digging into the face of the box instead of sculpting the edges. As soon as I lift the stylus, the cursor jumps back to where it should be. Any ideas what is going on?? Thanks
    • Hi Oleg, This happens using the tablet pen and also the mouse. As you can see, it is marked to store practically all options, including symmetry.   symmetry_problem_3dcoat2024.mov   When I click on any brush or tool in the left panel, the symmetry is maintained. But every time I click on the preset (using mouse or pen tablet), the symmetry is immediately deactivated.  
    • Hi Try switching to restore default text size on Edit > Preferences > Themes
    • When i switching full screen mod all interface elements get mixed up and break. 
    • I checked, the tablet has nothing to do with it. Is the symmetry saved in the preset settings?
    • Okay, so as I refered to Anton Tenitsky as being the golden standard of how 3DCoat is taught/demoed in a professional way, today we got a new feature video about infinite move. . .which is 6 minutes long. Six minutes for a feature that can be demonstrated effectively even with examples in 30-40 seconds. There needs to be more pro teachers and pro artists who represent 3DCoat. Even in bite sized videos. 
    • Hello! Does this only happen when using a tablet? I tried my presets with symmetry saved and it works fine with a mouse.
    • Please, could someone tell me if the tablet's pen sensitivity is working properly? Here, when I make brush strokes in sequence, it's as if one brush stroke wasn't working. Example: One brush stroke appears, the next one doesn't, then it appears normally and then it doesn't... -------------------------- I just tested it in Blender... and the brush strokes are normal... there are no errors in the sequence... I closed 3DCoat, opened it again to test... and the problem is happening of not making the brush strokes correctly in sequence... | one brush stroke appears normally, but the next one doesn't, and so on... in the brush stroke sequence. ----------------------- NEW TEST:  - I went back to version 31 to test if the 2 problems I mentioned exist. To recap: 1) Brush strokes are not working properly (one stroke works and the other doesn't). 2) Automatic deactivation of symmetry when clicking on a preset. Therefore, the result is that the same problems that I reported about version 32 are also occurring in version 31. thank you
    • Another thing I forgot to mention about using the "symmetrical copy" button is that sometimes, as soon as you press the command, 3DCoat closes immediately. Solution: Always save! Or, in the preferences: - Let the "auto save" feature enabled (I had disabled it a long time ago). But now, I've set it to save 2 copies (Autosave depth history) in sequence every 10 minutes (autosave time)...  If 3DCoat continues to close like this, I'll change the time to every 5 minutes or 3 or less...  
    • Sometimes it's not straight forward to access the system from a container (or containerised launcher, as it were). This means "connecting" different software can be tricky; for instance, bridging 3DCoat with Blender or other DCC software. Using the bridge add-on for Plasticity 3D and Blender is fantastic. Works flawlessly. I don't know if that would be an issue here. If not, go for it! I may be wrong, or things improved, I don't know. If different Flatpack or mix of native and Flatpack programs can "see" each other, then great! As I said, at this point, I really don't care how they do it, frankly. I just want it to work and be on par with bug fixes and new tools available on the main builds. And please, please, pretty please, please, make 3DCoat alert the user when a new version is available like in Windows. It's even more important in Linux, where we don't have builds for months and then out of nowhere a few in a row land. It's crazy having to refresh a forum page daily for months and still miss a build with crucial bug fixes because one just stopped looking into it with the morning coffee.  Please, please. Please. Please.   But yes, what @SreckoM and @Grakino said, make it work already and let's everybody move on!
    • @SreckoM Yes, I understand your point, and you know - you're right. I can't deny anything. We have to thinks about regular user not only Linux enthusiasts i forgot about it for a minute. Also the advantage of flatpak is an additional marketplace flathub, why not. Imagine install 3DCoat, from terminal, that's sounds great for me. Also it can give you a bit more advertisements. Some Linux youtubers can make video about it "10 3DSoft  for linux you should try" =)
    • Reason for not using it is mostly cause it is relatively new.  Other DCCs are doing it by not caring much will it work with latest or older distros. Like Maya, they do not even distribute anything but RPM. Good luck with average user who does not want to dribble with alien or asking for any kind of support. This is fundamental problem with Linux world. Ppl need to start thinking outside their preferences.  These things are stopping wider adoption of Linux in desktop world. Consequence of that is, that such small userbase, is not interesting for developers, way too much work for gain, and we are running in this circle for 20+ years. 3DCoat is probably feeling the same, there is one person working on this, cause there are maybe 10 of us on Linux. Every app, even Blender and Houdini will have issues with latest drivers, some issues not right visible some straight as crash. Also if Sergey targets GTK4 and latest Ubuntu (not using Flatpak), good luck with every studio around the world that uses Linux and always follow VFX platform guidelines. With Flatpak you distribute or target everything you know works best with your app.  And most important thing is that you can do proper support. If Sergyi builds on latest ubuntu, he can not provide proper support for anything else, so that will shrink Linux userbase even more. At some point it will be more profitable to kill linux support entirely. Seen this too many times.  Not to talk about how every proprietary apps works 2x better on Windows or OSX exactly because of this.  But at the end I also agree that I would like something that works. Right now only version that works for me on Ubuntu PopOs is version 24.06 from Feb 2024.
