Advanced Member paulrus Posted November 12, 2012 Advanced Member Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 It doesn't seem to work with 3D-Coat 4.00 Beta 5. Is there an update coming? Right now it exports, launches 3D-Coat & then nothing happens. Thanks, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now it exports, launches 3D-Coat & then nothing happens. Thanks, Paul Actually it should work. Don't forget to set the right 3D Coat "Exchange path" inside the softimage plugin. Additionally you can set the new path for the application too. Then 3D Coat will be opened automatically. The default values are set to 3D Coat V3 in the last AppLink. Best wishes Chris EDIT: The pathes seems to be set. The data is there too, and 3D Coat 4 will be opened. But nothing happens anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Tupaia Posted September 5, 2013 Member Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) Hello, thanks for the video! Anyway, I have problems getting the model back from 3DC to Softimage. The menu item "File > Open in original app" is greyed out. When I click it, I get the warning "You are using the non-commercial version...". Since this is nonsense because first I am a registered user, and second, I can export when I start modeling in 3DCoat, I guess that there might be another problem, with the applink maybe? Any tips? Thanks, Eugen Edit: Ok, I figured that it works with "Per-pixel painting", but not with "Micro-Vertex painting". Not too intuitive, the whole thing.

Advanced Member paulrus Posted January 24, 2014 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Are there going to be any updates to this AppLink? I'm having a problem where no matter how many times I change it, the Exchange Path and 3D-Coat Location always revert to V3 instead of V4.

Member Talik Posted September 14, 2018 Member Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) I'm still using XSI! Cos it's an amasing tool. Softimage and XSI are a beautiful couple and supply each other so well. Xsi does modeling and animation and 3D coat makes UVs sculpting and textures. That's amasingworkflow. Thanks for Applink developers for making these pieces of software that are in love closer. My question is that Applink exports model inside 3D coat well but when push button "import from 3D Coat" it says "Import file not found". How to deal with this?

Member Talik Posted September 16, 2018 Member Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) Thanks for quick reply. Since I use "Open in original App" inside 3D Coat it imports geometry but no materials. Textres are not connected to material and are not imported via Applink. How to make this happen? As I use "Open in original App" inside 3D Coat" there is no mental ray preset to export textures. I use 3ds max Arch&Design. Do I need to assign mental ray material first before importing from 3D Coat? Edited September 16, 2018 by Talik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 You need to create mentalray constructor settings. Remember mentalray EOL was november 2017. And mentalray is NON-PBR. 3DCoat is PBR based, so there is no compatibility between apps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how you've done this but texture exporting presets for V-ray are awesome! I know that 3-D Coat is pbr and was surprised by it's capability with non-pbr workflows. I would be so happy when XSI imports textures from 3D-Coat via script. Currently it exports meshes to 3D-Coat and back only. Maybe something's wrong I don't know.

Carlosan Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 You always can use the submenu Textures > Export Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Talik Posted September 16, 2018 Member Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 It's nice and practical but it's better when script imports textures and put them in the right place in material Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
