Hello Mac users!
1. Regarding CTRL/CMD key. CTRL key will be enabled in the next build, but please specify, which button should CMD key duplicate – ALT or CTRL?

Cntrl should stay as is
Cmd - should invoke right click but if it has to duplicate then it should stay the same i.e duplicate cntrl

[michalis]

Right click using one button apple mouses is ctrl. Never cmd.
Now let's forget this. Please! Old mac users, buy a decent logitech mouse (g5 is always the best) and lets work. From a mac only user.

from a professional app perspective, I'd suggest forgetting about DESKTOP users that are using single button mice, on any platform. Older mac laptops are a bit trapped in this perspective(due to the reliance on control to trigger a right click on VERY old macbooks/macbookpro's), so I see the need for possibly supporting them, for at least a bit longer. Aside from that though, if you're on a desktop, and you use a single button mouse(not even an apple mightymouse), I'd suggest you strongly consider an investment in a new mouse(even a 5$ 2 button USB mouse) before buying a pro app like 3DCoat ;-)

P.S. any word on the release of the next build? I know Andrew's on vacation, just very eager to see more development on the 64bit branch, and test out some liveclay!

in the meantime, its sculptris & meshmixer time ;-)

New beta will come together with 3.5.21.
I plan to release 3.5.21 in the first half of next week.

[LorenzoS]

Thank you Andrew. You and crew are doing an awesome job.

[ifxs]

thanks for the update Andrew, and thank you, as always, for your diligent work on developing this excellent tool for us all !

Did this occur? I can't find where to download it, if so. The Mac link in the normal update thread still points to 19A as far as I can see.

[LorenzoS]

By next week, he meant this week.

[Andrew Shpagin]

Today I sent 3.5.21 to programmer, he will do build soo, I hope today or tomorrow if nothing too strange will happen.
Last week update was failed because I had hope to include updated LC there, but it is essentially not ready.
3.5.21 will include only a bit updated LC, very last changes are to raw to be included in 3.5.21.

[LorenzoS]

Good to hear Andrew. A taste of LC is enough for now. Thank you soo much.

[ifxs]

has anyone heard anything on the new 64bit osx build?

has anyone heard anything on the new 64bit osx build?

Nope, and I was really hoping to have it available over the long weekend. Oh well, maybe sometime this week? Andrew, any word?

[Andrew Shpagin]

I was talking today with Sergyi. He tries to fix one crash (color picker) but it is hard because debugger crashes too and there is no helpful info to solve it. I asked him to make build today anyway. So he will do new build today regardless on will be this problem solved or not.

[Andrew Shpagin]

The link on the first page updated to 3.5.21. The bug I mentioned was fixed.

[michalis]

Thank you!
A small confusion though. Is this beta installer the same with the other on betas thread? Are both 64 bit?

Crashing!
Use voxels sculpting / jump to surf-mode-liveclay / pick another surf-tool. Now liveclay again (you can't access lc parameters anymore). Nevermind, back to voxels mode. Press LC tool, parameters visible again, back to surfmode, crashing.

Update:
ctrl use is back, great. Voxel mode is great in 64bit build. All I need for the moment and back again in 3dc sculpting LOL
I missed something,
1 why the need of LC? I still don't get it.
2 smooth tool is so weak...
3 pinch tool... OK, I'll ask again for something similar to zb or better, sculptris behavior of tools.
4 Dynamic tessellation in sculptris is so superior. It's a whole different world. It's faster and precise. Even faster after some edits in Sc config.txt. Up to 2 M, too much for dynamic tessellation. Close DT then and work as fast as zb is. (answering a statement that SC is slow or something)

I understand that LC is in alpha stage but I still don't get it. It's the tools behavior that matters more than anything else. It's a sculpting room, you see.
