Advanced Member Tom K Posted January 9, 2011 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 I know it's been mentioned but it didn't seem to get the attention it deserves.VOIDWORLD is a polygon modeler under development. It has a built in 3d_Coat applink.The website looks cheesy but ignore that. Don't download from the site.download here:VOIDWORLDDon't know if this is the only place to get info, but get the latest on it's development here:My linkhttp://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=74005&page=20Doesn't need to be installed. Just run the .exeCreate a model, then go up to file, 3d-coat applinklooks quite nice. He seems to be working hard to make a nice program.Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor BeatKitano Posted January 10, 2011 Contributor Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Voidworld is the new silo, simple, really customisable, streamlined, and modelling wise: feature packed. Sounds like marketing talk, but I was a silo user until recently after being disgusted by the lack of support from nevercenter, then discovered vw. The developper is a brillant guy who actually listen to his future customers; try it, you may fall in love with it Plus like tom_K said, integrated applink is a killer feature for such intuitive modeler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ghib Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Beatkitano. I love your enthusiasm, it's infectious. And you're right; the developer is a brilliant guy who (for the time) listens to feedback. I've found that backing up requests and bugs with animated gifs and images really helps. There are still a ton of issues and improvements to be made but who's in a massive hurry. It's already better than silo Hat's off to kun for pursuing this and fingers crossed for the future of this app. It seems bright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Digital777 Posted January 10, 2011 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 This is a great app but i disagree with the new silo comment mainly because i don't like the GUI much so i don't find the workflow as good. I think silo has a much nicer layout and also has good customizations users have made, some people think GUI is not important but it is if you are going to be using a program a lot. That said it could be improved though and it's already got some nice features like the 3DC app link so it's a great app and it looks like it will get even better in the future if they listen to peoples feedback.

Advanced Member ghib Posted January 11, 2011 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 About the UI. The developer (yes it's only 1 developer like Andrew) has stated that the UI is a work in progress. He's concentrating on getting a kick ass modelling toolset functioning well before working on the UI. The way things are going with his 'Streamline Toolset' it will be as smooth (if not more) than silo. I can see myself doing away with the UI completely for 99% of my modelling tasks in the future.

Advanced Member Digital777 Posted January 11, 2011 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 That is good news that the GUI will be worked on. Seems like it's getting lots of updates also and i noticed there is a new version released today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contributor ajz3d Posted June 14, 2013 Contributor Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) I'm using it too. I was looking for an alternative to Silo which is no longer being developed. NVil is awesome and Kun is doing a great job developing it. Edited June 14, 2013 by ajz3d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Andrei Samardac Posted February 19, 2014 Member Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Hallo, tell me pleas why when I Applink to 3D Coat(import model for per pixel painting), and tourn on Subdivide in 3D coat import dialog, model subdevided but not smooth? For example I import cube, and it subdivided but still with sharp corners? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor ajz3d Posted February 19, 2014 Contributor Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 In NVil select all vertices of an object you're trying to export to 3D Coat and run a Vertex Shortcut Tools>>Smooth Normal on them. Alternatively, you can select your object and click the Smooth All in the Polygon Shortcut Tools>>Smooth Group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Onkelpoe Posted August 28, 2014 Member Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Does the applink VoidWorld (free version of NVil) <--> 3DC v4 work ok? Can not test it myself, as 30-day trail is over and the options in the menu are greyed out... Are there any things to keep in mind? Or does it work 100% in both directions?

Advanced Member JimB Posted August 28, 2014 Advanced Member Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) I have VoidWorld-Jan-31-13 (free) --> 3DCoat Applink works ok,check that you have it enabled though.

Contributor ajz3d Posted August 29, 2014 Contributor Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 The only trouble I've encountered with the applink, is when you move a retopo group back to NVil, where even hidden groups will be imported. I asked about it on NVil's forum and IStonia said that the problem lies on 3D-Coat's side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member Monkeybrain Posted August 24, 2015 Advanced Member Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 I tested NVIL today, but e.g. if I select some edges - a loop - I can see that works, e.g. I extrude a whole row, but I can see only one selected edge. The viewport isn't good ahh ... I wish we could made from nvil & silo a new subd-modeler Sinovil e.g. ha ha ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member kenmo Posted March 20, 2017 Advanced Member Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 I'm revisiting VoidWorld 2.4 (fre version of Nvil) but I really find the UI a mess and a bit turn off. I'm looking for something to replace Silo 2.3 and Hexagon 2.5. So far everything I've looked at falls short. Hate Blender with a passion, Again it's the UI. Looking at Rocket 3F which is also being co-developed with the Nvil creator. https://rocket3f.com/ The UI looks very intuitive but it's toolset is not as rich as Nvil... Too bad Hexagon and Silo have been stagnant for so long.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad Hexagon and Silo have been stagnant for so long.... Customization in NVil is very powerful, so achieving a look-and-feel you're after is most likely very much possible. You can do almost everything, from tweaking UI colors, through creating custom panels, customizing context-aware radial menus, to building your own StreamLine and Composite tools. You can most definitely reproduce the simplistic feel of Silo, or the other programs you mention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contributor Michaelgdrs Posted January 7, 2018 Contributor Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Any news regarding the Nvil / 3D Coat bridge? Cant get it working from Nvil to Coat unfortunately.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor ajz3d Posted January 10, 2018 Contributor Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 @Michaelgdrs, have you looked in File->3D-Coat AppLink to see if 3D-Coat AppLink Enabled is enabled? Also, check paths in the AppLink Settings. Geo from NVil to 3D Coat exports fine, but the reverse operation is another matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor Michaelgdrs Posted January 10, 2018 Contributor Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Yeah , checked everything , paths , folders , applink is enabled as well , i am getting other issues as well (smouth issues , facet polygons and some others). I will delete completely , re download and try again , i couldn't find an exe setup so i downloaded a zip with all files in it (Nvil latest version Dec 21 if i remember correctly). Strange thing is that non of those issues exist with Rocket 3F , on exact same models and applink works there as too. Many thanks for the reply , will try again as Nvil is on of the easiest and standalone powered modellers i ever used so far , many thanks for pointing it out .

Contributor ajz3d Posted January 10, 2018 Contributor Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Michael, maybe try bringing up those issues on NVil forum. I'm sure they will be resolved very quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor Michaelgdrs Posted January 10, 2018 Contributor Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Problem solved Artur , i just deleted and re installed , re checked everything and all working as they should. Yeah , my bad , thought it was an applink issue .... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
