Is volume in surface mode?
It needs to be in SF mode for vertex painting to work.

This was happening automatically, right?

I don't remember :) I never work in voxel mode...

Presets Don't always show the Brush tip? even when your choosing to save it! Think this needs to be shown too. Emode/stroke is now shown when default which is good.

Yes, should work surface mode...
And actually it should switch automatically to surface mode, when moving to paint room. But all this does not work anymore here.

Superstrange... it works in no of the recent versions anymore...
I've deleted all information, user folder too... and reinstalled it, but no chance. Tested the DX and GL versions. No vertex painting. What the heck?!

It should work. Voxels are automatically turned to surface. Check conditions, opacity, try to paint with mouse.

The problem: I don't see any model...
I create a sphere in voxels - move to paint room, and see nothing...
What I have to delete to get the default mode? (user folder?)

Oh dear... Exactly. I forgot I am working always in beta mode... This was the reason!

I am having a recurring problem where 3D-Coat suddenly crashes. After that happens I can no longer open any of my 3D-Coat files.

The only way to fix it is to uninstall and reinstall the software.

I think it started happening ever since 3.7.14(CUDA)(GL64).

The software works fine and then suddenly the crash. I have not noticed any specific event which causes the crash. The only thing I guess is that it may be related to memory being used by other programs running simultaneously in the background. Perhaps a memory leak?

Is anybody else having this problem?

I just upgraded to 3.7.16A(CUDA)(GL64). Hopefully this problem will not continue to persist.

Download the no cuda version, problem solved.
Cuda simply block opening some file in unknown condition. I noticed that on all 3.7 beta builds. It's completely random. YOu can try starting 3dcoat, going into voxel room and in the vox menu deactivate cuda, that can help. Same old same old.

Hi Andrew,
I read on your Twitter about the precision enhancements; "if you are changing something dragging mouse manually you may press SPACE and enter exact numerical value." That sounds excellent!
Any chance of adding a rectangular array?
Thanks for making this wonderful program.

Just read
"Retopo room will grow gradually to fully featured low poly modeler."
Thanks for that :) :) :)

"@BeatKitano Ater weeks of stabilizing I need sometimes to do something new to feel better"
Just want to back you up, Andrew.There are alot people out here, who understand this very well. I also often get in a phase, where doing something new is just as relaxing.
And its awesome, that recharging your batteries gives us some new tools along th way. For me nothing to complain. :)

Adding a lowpoly editor is great news but I do hope Andrew will also add the option of having a four view screen,
doing this will do away with the need of an external editor and make 3DCoat a more complete application.

Andrew, can you add a "Through all volumes" option for the SurfHide tool? and if possible, allow it to hide any voxel volumes also?
This would be useful for the lasso options with multilayered objects.

For the low poly editor: A subd toggle\preview would be quite handy too.

+1. Add to that a Shell/Thickness Modifier and SHIFT + DRAG (to create new edges/poly's on the fly) with the TRANSFORM tool.

That will probably put the final nail in the Silo coffin.

Not yet. Well the silo name, definitely, but the program is not done.
