Has anyone used the option to calculate occlusion using one light source in the latest beta?

How is it working for you?

 

I kind of expected it to bake a shadow based on the direction of the light like a light mapper.

What is its intended use and how do you control the output?

 

Thanks peeps.

I just realized I forgot one other painting app called P-XCEL:

It's designed completely around doing pixel-level 3d paint. Very neat little app.

Come on guys, you are forgetting the best painting software of them all ;-)

Metacreations Painter 3D
It's still for sale even:

Lets not forget  "Tattoo 3D Paint"  It was my first 3D paint program. It is outdated but still everyonce in awhile I will open it up and remember how happy I was to be able to paint in 3D as I hated 2D uv island painting...

 

Now free as he stopped development a number of years ago.

Seriously now.

What about 32bit exr or even 16 bit tif support on masks panel? Why jpg 8bit only? 

Poor quality this way. Except I missed something. It's a request. I hope you don't mind talking a little on this subject. 

 

Now in v4, we have a nice tool for baking quality 32 bit exrs (excellent control) of panels-reliefs. 

Pity we can't use it as mask. 

8 bit tga... very poor quality. See how better the 3dcoat baked exr works as displacement in blender.

I used the tweak room to change a lowpoly model slightly mid-paint. I had to turn off Low Poly view mode because it couldn't be tweaked with that mode on, then after I was done I re-entered the paint room, turned it back on, and it turns out it kept the old shape in memory. Even saving and loading it again I get two different shapes when turning on/off lowpoly view mode.

 

Is this a bug? I thought low-poly just changed the way the texture was applied or how the tris are turned. If it's actually a morph that's stored on import then can I use it in some more meaningful way like painting in/out tweaked areas?

 

Edit: Seems that turning on lowpoly afterwords only changes what the mesh looks like back to how it was, but the paint is still projected onto the tweaked mesh.

Andrew, can you say one way or another if your comment earlier about expanding actually means bringing on more programers to work on 3DCoat? Speculated on that a few pages back but would like to know if that's actualy the case or not.

Anybody else been able to get anything from the Copy/Paste tool (Paint Room)? Did it not have options to copy red to blue and vice versa? It doesn't do squat on my end, as you can see in the video. Same goes for the Scrape tool in the Voxel Room. Can't adjust the intensity...it's broken. Turn the depth all the way to 0 and it still scrapes like it's stuck on 100%.

Tattoo 3D! I remember being so excited when I discovered that app for the first time a few years ago!

 

Anyone else have any experience with single light occlusion? Can you move the light source and can it bake shadows?

Hi! Copy/ Paste tool works here. Ctrl + C copys parts of the surface and ctrl + v paste it. Red to blue and vice versa belongs to Topological symmetry tool.

[michalis]

So, no support of 16 or 32 bit displacement maps on masks panel. 

Thank you for confirming it. 

Too bad news actually. 

[PolyHertz]

You can copy/paste with the regular brush tool, what's the dedicated tool good for?

 

Trying to paint on a mesh with a 4k texture this morning to see if it's as bad as some people have said. Some things work fine, but almost every layer-based operation has noticeable lag, especially sliding opacity values which almost hangs the program sometimes (entering them in directly just to be safe).

yes that sucks big time... 8bits jpeg is a joke..

There is support for 16 bit png files as mask.

 

We still need support for 32 bit tiff or exr images

How can you tell what you are selecting to copy in the first place? No highlighting of the mesh or anything?

[carlosa]

any 1 have troubles with realtime render in render room ?

or display refresh time ?

or light changes ?

 

im using v16 and render room is a mess
