Very strange, 3dc now seems to forget the file that you are working on and when you save the file (ctrl+s) you have to specify the file and path again as if you have saved as. Also when this happens the name of the file you are working on on the title bar on the top of the application window also disappears and it just says 3DCoat.

This is an old bug that I've reported at least once before ti seems to happen when I switch to Retopo and back to voxels, but not every time.

Have you reported it in Mantis?

[philnolan3d]

Mantis didn't exist for us way back then so I didn't think of it.

[Javis]

Andrew is adopting it more and more, so the more we post the more bugs that get properly cataloged and fixed.

[Tony Nemo]

I have to ask, how do I report a bug to "Mantis"?

[philnolan3d]

For right now I believe only custodians and a few others can, so if you post it in the regular bug area we're trying to copy everything over.

[Javis]

I believe Chris (who's running Mantis, thank you Chris!) intends to either eventually open Mantis up to anyone who wishes, or keep it the way it is now.


Another thought is, if you wish to be helping submit bugs using Mantis, you could send Chris (Taros) a PM here on the forum asking to add you as a Mantis reporter.

[michalis]

My experience shows that its better to discuss an issue before reporting it as a bug.

[philnolan3d]

Well issues in Mantis can be discussed and we try to make sure it's actually an important bug before assigning it to Andrew to be fixed. So far I think it's a pretty nice improvement.

Mantis is very good system. Maybe we could create own thread to talk about it. I would think that we really need one bug report places. Right now there is two. Mantis and
Support area in forum. Opening up mantis for everyone could be one solution. Just make sure that there is limited number of users who can assign bugs to Andrew.

Updated to 3.5.08 [beta] (Win only, OSX+Linux - very soon)

changes:

- Support of instancing (Look Instancer toll + new check box in Merge tool). It opens possibility to use one volume multiple times in scene without additional memory consumption. For example you may do several bricks and made building of them and scene will be still very light and only initial bricks will take memory. In so way you may manage really huge scenes if they can be decomposed into less count of basic elements. Scene in viewport will also be rendered faster because of much less video memory consumption. It is extremely helpful for architecture, hardsurface modeling, sometimes - for organic (scales, teeth).
- Arbitrary change resolution of voxel volume done. You may chnahge mesh resolution to any given number of polygons.
- All big numbers in all tools will be written in readable form - like 31 765 321 (compare with 31765321)
- Fixed bug - http://bit.ly/gdMy7t
- Smudge artifacts problem solved - http://bit.ly/hYAmn6
- fixed issue http://bit.ly/el7NLV
- fixed 3B-file merge related issue - http://bit.ly/eVUT57

Awesome! Thanks Andrew.

[haikalle]

great update. Clone instance would be even better if update could happen after every stroke, not when change view.

Try turning off 'Incremental render' in the Voxels menu. But sculpting might be slower.

[haikalle]

Thanks 3DArtist. works great.

[Tinker]

I think that the new Instances - is a very powerful and awesome feature.
Thank you very much, Andrew!

[philnolan3d]

Really like this instancing business. I made up a little video of my experimenting.

Great release, lots of little improvements that are not even in the list, like piece highlight on pickmat shaders, MSAA now working in voxels, selection now possible on hidden objects...

Very nice.

Keep up the very good work.

Please be careful with ivisible selection. It is my miss. With selection you will be able to modify them.
I will fix it today and re-upload (I will keep possibility to select invisibles)
