A good rest is always great!  Welcome back from your holiday...

[Javis]

Welcome back Andrew. It's good to hear your trip was a good one.

Bug: When you click on the viewport in order to switch from another app to 3DC, it will create a stroke across the mesh (in paint room, haven't tried in other rooms). That one caused me to have to redo some work because the stroke was on a layer that was temporarily obstructed by another, and I didn't see the damage caused until it was too late to undo :/

 

This problem could potentially cause similar damage: http://3d-coat.com/m...iew.php?id=1124

[Psmith]

Could you give us the precise version number you are using and what your system specs are?

 

 

Thanks,

Beta 15A, and system specs added to signature.

Don't worry. I have no any plans in visible future to stop or sell 3dc. We rather expect to expand.

Btw, have got excellent rest on Cyprus with my wife. Got to work now. Polishing everything.

 

 

This is the best news I've heard all week!

Just fyi, I added this bug to Mantis: http://3d-coat.com/m...iew.php?id=1132

 

[PolyHertz]

We rather expect to expand.

 

I do hope this means hiring additional programers so some of the long standing issues in Mantis (from years ago) can be fixed.

I agree. These is really good news!
I'm glad you're well rested Andrew.

By the way folks, is it just me or the forum has some weird issues with formatting? Quotes seem to display very oddly now on both: Firefox and Chrome. What's going on?

[PolyHertz]

Yea quotes on here are just a header with text under them, they're not separated from the regular post at all.

[ajz3d]

Something broke the formatting! Sabotage!

The forum software is up to the last version... may be a security upgrade broke something ?

[ajz3d]

I've also noticed that I cannot follow this topic any more. I stopped receiving notifications from other threads as well. But for some recent thread subscriptions I do receive them.

I can see only one user following this thread and it was a couple of dozens of you guys a while ago, so it can't be just me unless everyone went anonymous.

The web guy changed some stuff to help us get rid of spammers, perhaps that change is related.

Hiring additional programmers would be ideal for 3DC to boost bugfixing & stability, but good programmers are extremely expensive.  Lets be realistic: I think expanding was meant by hiring manual-writer / GUI designer, they are cheaper.

That would be good too, 3DC could really used an improved UI for v4 instead of recycling the one from v3. Still, it's obvious that 3DC needs a second programmer that can really shift some of the weight off Andrew, or at the very least someone to finally put the needed work into the Paint Room (seems like paint layers have been left to rott for years; no groups, masks, adjustment layers, etc.)

It's my understanding that Andrew was waiting until after the V4 Release to tackle the more structural changes. In the mean time, you do have the ability to make adjustments similar to  the way you'd apply an adjustment to a layer in Photoshop, but no adjustment layers....yet. Go to TEXTURES > ADJUST...there you can blur/smooth, adjust Hue/Saturation, Gama, etc.

 

You also have the ability to use any layer to mask another. There are tutorials on that on the 3DC Youtube Channel, and Javis has one on his Youtube page as well. It's not as elegant as Photoshop's method (with a thumbnail and all), but I asked Andrew about this several months ago and he sounded as if he was willing to look into it in the V4 cycle.

That's good to hear. From what I can tell a lot of artists who have tried 3DC, but use another 3d painting solution or stick to just photoshop, decided against using it for painting specifically because of the poor interoperability with photoshop.
