I imagine that the fact that the brush returns to the default one when the command type is changed was a choice and not a bug, but if you don't solve the problem of the wrong size of the imported brushes it is very problematic. It seems very strange to me that no one points out this annoying problem, which has persisted for many versions.   Giovanni

Hi, the problem of the size of the brushes has worsened with the version of 3dcoatextura 2024.20, now in addition to the wrong size of the imported brushes, there is also the fact that if I change the tool (for example I use the fill) and then return to the traditional brush the "brush " that I had selected disappeared and the default one appeared, so I have to take it again and obviously its size is different from the gizmo. I used the trick of switching between the "brush" and "fill" commands a couple of times and the size eventually fixed itself, but now with this new bug I can't use it anymore.   Giovanni

Hello, I want to Export Albedo textures through Export/ColorAlbedoMap Without Padding. (Edit-Preferences-Padding->Never) I want to export textures with full transparent Alpha background in the blank space without UV information, Instead everytime I export the color Albedo textures, they are exported with a somewhat gray alpha value in those blank spaces, not being fully transparent. I tried .png .tga and .tiff and it's the same result. How can I export a clean texture with 100% opacity in the unused sections? Thanks!

In the latest Stable Build 2024.20 , the Tool Options windows is constantly re-appearing after closing it everytime you change a tool. It's annoying and it didn't happen in past versions. How can I deactivate that window? Thank you!

can i see your shader graph? also are you baking for opengl .. ?

Hi Carlosan, yes I always keep auto snap ON, as I might use the brush tool or anything to polish the retopo, I deactivate it in very special cases. I think Auto snap should have no relation to the baking process, if it has some currently. (it would be very counterintuitive, as when you click bake, you're not doing retopo anymore, you want your low poly to just stay as you finalized it.) A small issue I'm seeing is that any decimated fbx export seems to have totally broken split normals, it's easy to remove, reset, in blender, but I hope retopo obejcts do'nt get this kind of issue (I don't think so, low poly normals are clean), but sculpt obejcts exports always look like this:

I can confirm it was with the mask selected. ( Loving the potential workflow here  )

Did you send it with the layer selected... or layer mask selected? Bug confirmed, - sync it is not sharing layer mask... - edit all layers... it is working

Just some info regarding the Layer mask. So, I created a Dirt layer, then created a layer mask and then painted that mask using 'more on convex' - works great: But the moment I sync that one layer with Photoshop to make edits and send it back it corrupts the appearance/use. The result: ( and all I did was paint the white * directly onto that layer )

Oooh good question....this will add to my original response. ( Also this is turning into a very valuable thread for me as its helping me think about my workflow. ) ---------------------------------- For me, the biggest reason to use 3DCoat over the Zbrush workflow would be the ability to create a textures and a morph simultaneously. Example would the LI Skuttlebot - I created 7 individual damage morphs for it in ZBrush...but it's lacking because there are no textures to support it. If I wanted to, I'd have to export the out model each time and import for each one. Now, if I go in, and sculpt and paint that damage in, while creating a morph and a L.I.E. texture at the same time.....wow, how awesome that would be. ----------------------------------- Having the ability to open the basemesh ( or model that in 3DCoat, or retoplogize ) and UV map it ( with multiple UV's/UDIMs) Texture it while adding details. ( Micro details would be amazing ) I only found this tutorial recently. ---------------------------------- At the moment though, to create quick simple morphs to DAZ & ZBrush via GoZ is very efficient. As an example, lets say I am creating a scene for rendering and the clothing isn't fitting quite right. I can hit GoZ and send Genesis along with the attached clothing to ZBrush with deformations, sculpt and smooth that issue out on that piece of clothing. Then send it back as a corrective morph....super quick fixes. Now 3DCoat has a cloth tool....imagine being able to use that to create clothing morphs on the fly via a bridge. Another asset DAZ has is the bridge to Hexagon 3D - I've used this to create morphs on simple assets ( containers for my VDB Assets ) The problem was I had to keep creating duplicates of each mesh for the morph. I could have done this with ZBrush but I needed exact precision with numeric values for each panel placement: This is an area where Blender falls short too. Basically, if we could create morphs like this in 3DCoat's Modeling room ( with precision placement ) I'd be super thrilled....but emphasis on bridge tool to speed workflow. ---------------------------------

Yes please! Like you say the clone brush doesn't cut it when you need to 'heal'.

Thanks a lot Grakino! Very thorough description. After a bit of fiddling with the variables it finally works! I had to add the tablet name a first time before it revealed more input device names. One of the new ones revealed was the correct one. In my case  "XP-Pen Pen Pen (0)". Also for me adding the mouse device made the scroll wheel stop working inside 3dcoat - however leaving the mouse variable empty worked for me. Thanks again!

Hi Liok When you bake, do you have autosnap active?
