    • +1 I would love to be able to ditch using Blender App Link back and forth and be able to control Texel Density directly inside 3D Coat! Please consider it. It would be an important addition for people using 3D Coat in game development. (I am aware Blender doesn't have Texel Density tools, natively, too. But that doesn't mean that 3D Coat couldn't be cooler in that regard natively :D)
    • i mean the simple answer would be using multires, but to be fair , i only ever use 3dcoat for concepting , so having quads only would only be good if you have poly objects and sculptable objects as one , sculpting onto something and not being able to edit it using polygon modelling tools is why i cant polish my meshes inside 3dcoat , if there was an options to integrate quad remesher with an optional license purchase that would seem better than a renderer 
    • i would be curious how many people used photoshop these days ... all im saying is there are changes you can make that would speed up workflows and be better for new users ...
    • Hi On camera settings use Look Along Normal Vector Hope this help
    • Hello, I am new to 3D Coat. I have just started using the 2D paint feature, and it's amazing. I am facing an issue when using 2D paint; I want to align the drawing plane with the current camera view angle. However, it is not aligning, and I am not sure how to adjust the settings. Can anyone help?
    • Hi Yes, It could be a limitation of your hardware, try lower values until you find the one that suits your computer specs.
    • Hello everyone  I wanted to render a turntable in 3DCoat, but I noticed that when I set the number of rays to anything higher than 50, and sometimes if I try to render in a higher resolution like 4752x2886 the render fails. It does render the whole thing, but when the save folder opens, either the video is not there or it has 0KB and can't be opened. I can't find any solutions anywhere and I don't know if it's the program or my hardware. Is there some kind of size limit on what you can render? 
    • I voted NO. reasons: 3Dcoat is for model creation, and as such, it still have some catching up to do: - Vs Zbrush: continue to improve the feel of the brush, stability of program,auto-retopo and UV algo. - Vs maya\Blender: improve the fluidity of modeling room and the user experience when modeling - Vs Substance painter: in my opinion remake the entire UX and UI all together. Still no ability to save smart material that is multiple different smart materials. I would look at quixel mixer UX and take some notes and remake this system. - Vs entire industry: in my opinion no more separate rooms. please... And now you want to split their resources and attention to rendering? why.. there are great tools for rendering from blender to unreal. for quick Look and feel, what 3dcoat provides is more then enough Keep up the good work guys. for me, i wait to 3dcoat will have decent flow in using its modeling tools, already explained that in details in other posts. and remake the painting and smart material UIUX, and then ill be happy to upgrade again. rendering engine is not why i open 3d coat for
    • Understood, however, most new users will have experience in Photoshop, so the way they use it in Photoshop will be pretty much the way it works in 3DCoat. That was my point. Substance may choose to do it differently, but 3DCoat's UI/UX design for texture painting was always to be similar to PS. 
    • That's awesome but the sad thing is that E-On Vue is done. Bentley is  shutting it down for good. I suppose other landscape programs have put it in the shade but nevertheless  it's a beautiful work of art in itself. A lot of people are going to have  a tonne of fun playing with this elegant piece of program engineering.  
    • its not that i or you know that masks are affect by greyscale values .. its new and learning users , you search through this forums and you'll find many questions on how this works , how that works and thats why substance painter is so popular , when you use a feature it allows you to use that feature and its limits. alot of things i point out on here isn't to help current experienced users but also see it from a point of beginning 3d , when i first purchased 3dcoat i didn't even touch it for a good few months just due to the ui set up and it took me a while to learn it too . so thats why i point a few things out , like where things are located in menus and how it would be easier it different areas etc ... its not ease of use for me , its ease of use for others and new
    • Issue reported. //edit Andrew responded to this issue. It is correct. The brush size corresponds to some radius in world space. But the UV density differs, so radius over UV differs to keep correspondence between world space radius and UV. The sport in the 3D viewport and spot over UV will look similar; this is the purpose.
