Thanks Carlos. Figured that out. I have some suggestions on Node sockets but I rather see all the bug fixes done first. 

yes, that bug was reported. That blue sockets are used for bridge connection Look how it work here:  

When I installed the new 3dcoat I did not get any message about installing the applink for Blender and I am having a hard time figuring out how to trigger it.  Where and how do I install applink into Blender 5.2?

How do I get rid of this weird transparency in the when I am viewing the normals in the Painting room ?  2026.17NS Windows 10.

I have issue in Painting Room the Normal layer type does not stay as Normal it switches back to Standard blend 2016.17NS Windows 10.    Also even though I have switched them to Normal and they are acting as normal when I save , when I load the project back in they are set to Standard Blend not Normal. 3DCoatGL64_Tq5t2oUWoh.mp4

3Dcoat Documentation Nodes in general. This is lagging big time along with other documentation. Im not sure why this isnt kept up to date. Example SimpleMask node. Documentation only shows 1 output. In reality theres a lot of sockets. Ive seen comments, "the Degree Map in Node inspector is missing". Well its changed and not documented.  

Ryzen 53600x 80gb ram DDR4, 4tb nvme, am4 motherboard, Nvidia RTX 3060 12gb vram.

Nodes on ShaderToy folder has already been reviewed, modified and added to Noise and Noise3D Category.  

In the Documentation says that there are nodes for work with shaders of shadertoy, but they doesn't appear in 3dcoat. https://3dcoat.com/documentation/manual/nodesystem/gpu-nodes/shadertoy/

Dont really want to export, I want to save from the node area and create a new custom SM material from nodes. I can export textures and object At then the author saves the node set to SM materials. But the issue is the only item saved is the color. This defeats the purpose of spending all that time to create the material only to save out one layer. I need all layers saved out. I have multiple parts I need to bring in and texture all the same. Nodes should be when saved it should combine all layers into one then save. 

You can export in 3 ways:

Watched the intro video. After creating the desired texture which included rust, dirt etc. The author saved out the texture. Problem is only the layer group active gets saved. How do you save out all the layers for the texture?

what are your specs ? believe it or not i had alot of problems when i was using amd over nvidia , they would sometimes cause weird bakes etc

I have, and it almost works.  When I try to use in the web, I get an error.  I can load into Blender as Glb then export from Blender as Glb and it works.   To test yourself, you can try uploading glbs made in 3dcoat to this website.  I get an error when I try.  Ideally, it would just work straight from 3DCoat. https://sandbox.babylonjs.com/

Hello Please contact 3dcsales@pilgway.com to solve your issue

Thanks for the transparent material! But now... how can I export the translucency map? there are not any option Here is a video showing what I'm trying to achieve! I can follow the steps on 3dcoat! but as you can see in the 9:13 minute he will export the transparency texture, but in 3dcoat this channel is not supported yet, I think.. maybe I'm wrong!    

I purchased a older version of textura for my pc though recently i had to reset my pc"the same pc".So i go to my email where i have my activation code and try to login to my account to download the old version associated with my perpetual license .The lookup tool basically tells me it doesnt exist and this is the second time this has happened.The first time for textura but an even older version but nobody got back to me .I ended up buying another license this current one .So this is an ongoing issue and is stressing me out and am very upset i have to go thru hoops to possibly talk to a actual support person to address this .
