This is a newer, more up to date video for creating Morph Targets in 3DCoat:  

You would need still need something to subdivide the geometry. People don't like writing scripts.

Another way will be import the model on Paint Room Send to sculpt room using Bake Menu Get the model separated on Sculpt room

You can try tick ON this option at import

Ok thanks for the reply! Guess I just have to split it each time.

I am afraid it is not possible. On Sculpt Room you can import all the model as a whole or as separated geometry.

Hi, if I wanted to import a commonly used object ( for example a hand), how would I do it so any layers I’ve created within the object are still there?  E.g if I’ve made all the fingers as separate sub layers so they’re pose-able? Is there a way to save it into sculpt objects that saves layers?   thanks!

problem is 3dC doesnt have modifiers , like shrinkwrap etc ... if that was available then it would be easy enough to write .

That will be an old issue, pleas check For some reason when upgrading 3DC had created a subfolder (3dcoat) in data folder and it was using that. Load Presets helps to relocation ?

Same, all my presets lost saved alphas/went to default round one. Everything works fine in 2024.18 and earlier versions.

I am aware this could be done manually. And BTW, you left out a few steps. You want to do that 40 times for a model times 50 models? or would you rather drag and drop and let the plane conform to the surface?

or a workaround , extract a plane from your mesh seperate uv , high quality image.

you can paint on high poly objects like this , no loss of image etc

The idea is you lay the decal onto the surface of the geometry. This is more of  hard surface technique that is likely not suitable for characters with deformations. So the decals exist as separate objects which helps to retain the higher resolution on the finer details. And if you use the same decal again and again you can retain higher detailed textures. It would be nice if the decals could wrap around the surface. I time stamped it the examples below.
