Hey, this is very good start.

thanks.

How many tris you are using?? I'm excited to see how this grandmum looks painted.

Right now (attached), it's about 7m. Usually I add high detail stuff in paint, but I'm experimenting with doing it all with voxels.

I really love this style, cartoony-realistic look.

Thanks.

Well... "merge patch" is crashing. It causes the whole system to slow down to a crawl... even the mouse cursor stutters. I tried it on a degraded version (1.8m tri) and got the same result (entire machine unresponsive...). I think it might be a bug. I'll try some stuff in the morning.

Try merge in scene.

I'm still having a bit of a problem. When entering paint mode, it's slow (like 5fps slow). Number of verteces on the internal mesh is 5m. Texture res is 2048. I've used these exact same settings before and never had a problem. I tried deleting the original voxel object to see if that would speed things up and that doesn't work either (even after saving and restarting 3d coat). The file size didn't seem to change after I did that. I suspect it's still storing (and perhaps displaying) the 7m voxel object somewhere.

Edit: I just tried it under windows, and the problem is just as bad in GL and far worse in DX.

Try to "decrease dencity" 2-3 times. Head should become much bigger.

Well, the problem i'm having is now in paint mode. It's too slow to work with. What's strange is i've used higher settings before without a problem (4k textures, 10m polys). Check out the first screenshot of the old man. Same poly count (with 3 levels of subpatching): 68 fps. Old lady with no subpatching: 4fps (unworkable). Also, switching to paint mode from another mode takes almost a full minute.

It seems like there is something hidden and eating up resources/video memory.

Thanks, Andrew, for the bug fix. It works perfectly now. I'd attach a screenshot but my mac has no printscreen key in windows (that I know of).

Would you mind sharing how you solve this problem? Because I'm having the same issue with my retopo character,

My 8800GT stuck at 30fps after merging into scene, no matter how much the mil poly I set for merging.

Thank you.

akira.

PM andrew and tell him you have the same problem I had and need the same solution. also, saving and restarting 3d coat can help.

This is a nice Zombi grandmum version. Good job psyborgue. Wrinkels really gives a nice touch to your model. Maybe the ear area needs a little bit work.

Thanks, but I'm not bothering with the ear too much since it'll be mostly covered up (Huge pearl earrings and a pearl necklace.).

I finally figured out how to take a printscreen on a macbookpro running windows (has no print screen key).

Fn+shift+f11

So here is the most recent painted version:

Nice wrinkles on this! Did you know you can use "Grab" to take screenshots on mac? Very easy! :)

Yeah. But at the time I was using windows (on my mac) since there was a bug with the mac version at the time (grab only works in mac os).

In mac OS, taking a screengrab is command+shift+3 for the full screen or command+shift+4 for a cropping. Command+shift+4, hit space bar, and then click on a window takes a shot of a particular window (nicely alpha channeled with drop shadow too). Doing any of these will drop a picture onto your desktop but you can change the default location using the command line.
