LiveClay Pose selection bug is back.

Confirmed, Real PITA too.

Also noticed this problem.. I solved it by doing this:

voxel --> clean surface

followed with

voxel --> clean memory


Everything seems te work correctly for me after doing this..

@ LJB: Yeah that is a nasty bug.

Hey has anyone run into a problem with 3D coat crashing after creating and trying to use a custom pen brush? It has happened to me several times.

I am using 3.7.14A non cuda 64.

That has worked in the past for me but now when I try it, it destroys my mesh.

What about just Clear Memory?

[johnnycore]

Thats odd that it destroys the mesh.. I use it daily.. still no destroyed mesh..
Just noticed that clean up memory alone also fixes this problem for me.. did not know that.. thanks!

[3DArtist]

If I remember correctly, clean surface poked holes in the mesh and clean memory turned it into abstract art, spikes everywhere.
I've also tried them individually and in combination so maybe my mesh is corrupted in some other way. But I will try again when I get home and if it still does not work I'll send the model to Andrew to look at.

Randomguy:

Can you post the steps you took to get that crash? Andrew needs the steps, or a short video.

All those cleaning steps under the voxel's menu, I found in a number of meshes produce problems in the mesh. Now not all, so it must be somehow related to the state of the mesh. Maybe a combination of using LiveClay and surface mode brushes, the routine of the cleaning steps, older files and meshes. Right now, It would take several days of testing, recording all your steps along the way to get something that Andrew could reproduce in a consistent manner because there are so many factors involved in this bug problem.
I still do not have the time yet to do it yet...

If I use them, it is at an early state of the sculpting, where I can go back to voxels to clean up any surface mode problems with the mesh...

[randomguy_j]

First thing I will do is make a cube and/or cylinder. In voxels mode I will carve it, sculpt it, etc. Sometimes I will take it to surface mode and tweak it or add another primitive. When I am done, I will export the object as an OBJ and import it into zbrush where I will tweak it a little more. Then I will use the applink in Zbrush to send it back to 3D coat as a pen alpha. After adjusting depth (Usually a negative value) and leaving size at 256, I create the new pen alpha, create a new cube primitive, put the cube in surface mode, and sculpt with BuildClay using the new alpha while tweaking the rotation, spacing, etc. Usually when I am testing the alpha is when 3D coat will give me a message about stability issues giving me a chance to save before crashing. This is a stubborn bug and isn't always consistent. Even if I just import an OBJ as a pen alpha without going through Zbrush I sometimes will get the crash warning.

As a side note, I have also noticed for a while that depending on how complex your surface is, the LC CutOff tool in surface mode doesn't seem to do anything.

Looks like exporting the layer to an obj (without decimation) and merging back into the scene fixed it.

[randomguy_j]

I have had plenty of times where my mesh will have holes and clean surface/ clean memory will only make things worse. What works for me is to either increase the resolution or take the model into then out of voxels mode before using clean surface/ memory.

Mac&Linux builds updated to 3.7.14B.

Mac&Linux builds updated to 3.7.14B.

Mac build appears to be missing some assets (or have a screen rendering issue).

[zebrap]

I have the same issue.
Voxel room is flickering with fullscreen white.
Going from paint room to voxel room will crash 3D Coat systematically.

Can't use this build.

Same here. Lot's of graphics on the UI missing. Just like zebrap's screen grab.

Thanks Andrew for the linux build. I know with all the new beta features going into 3DCoat for Version 4 there will be more than the normal amount of bugs. Once all the features are added, bugs squashed and some more brush tweaking, 3DCoat Version 4 will kick the tires and light the fires... By the way the icons are looking great...

Linux 64 bit version 3.7.14B non cuda.

I got a fairly major bug in the retopo room. When moving a single vertex to snap to another vertex the vertices fail to weld. That means there is no way of connecting polygons when moving single vertices. Symmetry is not turned on. Take just two polygons and try to weld (snap) the vertices to connect them, it's a no go in the Linux version.

Thanks for the tip, next time I'll try increasing the resolution a little.

There was an error in one shader. The build 3D-Coat 3.7.14B for Mac OS X has been updated. Please download it again.
