the smoothing seems to be too strong with the Carve tool, there should be a way to control how strong or weak(maybe with the smoothing slider?)



You can, Son k.If u turn smooth slider all the way up it acts like flatten brush.

Mouse clicking going through windows is a long standing bug, pretty much as long as I've been using 3DC I think. However with 2D-Paint it's a particularly big problem since you don't even need a mesh underneath of the window.

Too strong? It seems perfect to me. There is a way to control it, don't press as hard on the tablet.

i stand corrected , thanks! :lol: I'm using a mouse BTW.

Probably a "Brian" day but I do not seem to be able to find/access the "Universal Handlers" of Andrews post 91?

When you import a mesh using Merge You'll see a button that says MRG_TRANSFOR, obviously a temporary name, but after the mesh is loaded that button is automatically activated and you can see the universal manipulator on the imported mesh. Unfortunately once you hit Enter and move on to another tool the UM goes away.

Strange, after ENTER it stays on my OC...

[philnolan3d]

Well it stays just after hitting Enter. But after moving to another tool, like Carve it goes away. My point in "it goes away" is that you can't get it back.

Still can't reproduce.. When I am back from carve to Merge handlers return...

[philnolan3d]

Oh OK they do return but if you use them it moves a new object (last one loaded), not the one you are working on.

Edit: Here's a bug. The Draw With Pen tool is not drawing smothly, it skips along instead of making one smooth line. Also causes tears in the geometry in some cases. See video:

It is how it should work. There will be special mode (now working on) where you will be able to twist/move/rotate/transpose surface in any way.
Now I am working on combining surface/volumetric approaches. Some tool are good in surface approach - like pinch, grow, transpose, ...
some - work good in voxel mode like booleans, carve, curves, cut, ...
The system will transform object from one approach to other to get most wide set of tools.

[philnolan3d]

That sounds great, exactly what I was saying would be a good idea.

This tool will be removed and repleced by much better one.

Happens when using a small brush for me.

Volumetric is it really for CUDA performance card holders? The Carve & Smooth operations seem to slow to be userable, on my non-CUDA card.

Feels like it's got slower since I last updated? Or is that just me... Is the mesh denser?

Is there really no way to manually alter the volumetric resolution in real time? I'd really like to work with smooth brushes on a lower resolution.

I'm pretty sure CUDA is not yet implemented. I don't see any difference in the mesh density. What I have noticed that might help you is that when you import a mesh to work on you can scale it. If I scale it up too high it get's very sluggish, if it's too small the sculpting looks "chunky". So it's best to find a balance between the two. Also using a brush size that's too big can slow it down.

I have been playing with the new 3.0 beta through boot camp on my Mac and it great. My question is will 3.0 make it to the mac.

Yes

[geo_n]

posted in the volumetric topic I thought i posted it here.
Anyway regarding 3.0
- 4 viewport config. Will that be possible in 3.0? Also some more accurate tools would be nice something similar to silo poly modelling. I think sculpting industrial design stuff would be cool to do in 3dc.

[Andrew Shpagin]

I have updated the link (ALPHA-05). Actually this is result of one day work because today's work is essentially not finished. I worked over essential improving of transistion speed voxels<->surface but not finished.
Changes of current alpha:

1) Possibility to cut surface like a butter with rectangle/ellipse/curve as it shown below:

2) First results of surface approach - draw with pen and pinch tools. It is very easy to add full set thete - it will be done soon. But transition surface<->voxels is slighty long.
3) Many bugfixes, better look of red sphere.

About mac - all what is made is absolutely cross-platform, so there is no problem to compile on mac - only bureocracy - send sources to mac guy, put on server...
Maybe I will compile mac version soon also.
