Dang, I have been doing the same.

You can RMB click the boolean parent or child layer and choose LIVE BOOLEAN > COLLAPSE SUBTREE to bake it down into a Surface mode object.

We understand your frustration, however, please address this on the 3DCoat forum, where staff and other members can assist and you can share a screen grab or recording to help us diagnose the problem more directly. RUclips is not a suitable support platform. 3dcoat.com/forum/

I got this from extensions page, author is Bernt-Scholer "Thanks for the addon, but I got the addon to install only after changing some old entries from when the folder of the addon was named "io_coat3D", but the name now is "coat_applink". My changes are: file: init lines: 12, 13, 14 change the entries "io_coat3D" to "." (dot - without the quotation marks) file: tex line: 9 change the entry "io_coat3D" to "." (dot - without the quotation marks) lines: 384 & 388 change the entries "io_coat3D" to "coat_applink" file: texVR line: 419 change the entries "io_coat3D" to "coat_applink" "

@@bohemiangreenearth lets hope they update it soon - Im not sure where to get the file to edit it

@@aleph-tav It worked for me - it is in the folder with installed addon - c/user/appdata/roaming/blender foundation/blender/4.2/extensions/blender_org/coat_applink

I think an additional loop was created (from the right side) to connect with the loop on the left. Sorry for the omission. Auto-Retopo has undergone a number of improvements since this video was made, so it can probably handle the wing, in its original form, quite well. You would probably want to set the estimated polygon count to around 20,000 or so, because of all the holes, which add more complexity to the model.

We are simply showing the tools that are available,and are not promoting one toolset or approach over another. There are times when a user may want to do some poly modeling inside the application, rather than having to do the modeling outside of 3DCoat.

Animation is not something 3DCoat currently offers except that it can render turn-tables in the Render workspace. We are considering whether to add a 3rd party engine, natively, so that may be an option in the near future. Additionally, if you have a license of Renderman (commercial or non-commercial), 3DCoat has a limited degree of Renderman integration, natively. It is really great for still images.

@@PILGWAY3DCoat add MaterialX shaders and to add full functionality of renderman including emission + glass transparency so we can make shaders that transfer to unreal engine, houdini, etc. natively in 3DCoat

It is still available as the default option. Instead of the option remaining in the Toolbar area, it is now in the Tool Options panel, with a check box for Topological Painting. If that is unchecked, then the default mode will be Volume based connection. This is mentioned in the tool tip for that check box option.

The object needs to be in SURFACE mode. To determine if it is, look in the SculptTree panel and see if there is an S icon on the left side of the layer name. If it is a V, this means it is currently in Voxel mode. To switch it to Surface mode, just click the V icon. You should now see the Sculpt Bevel tool listed in the Tool Panel.

@@PILGWAY3DCoat Fixed, I found that quite a few users are experiencing this problem. The reason is that the user interface of an older version of 3DCOAT has been loaded. When I reset the UI, the issue was fixed and I was able to see the option. In addition, I like 3DCOAT very much, which is my favorite 3D software. A suggestion, can you optimize the directory function of the lower voxel tree? For example, the whole group of hidden, this is currently achievable, but the whole group of semi-transparent display can not work, you need to click on the semi-transparent display one object at a time. Hope to add this function, will be a lot of convenience. (Or does this feature already exist I don't know?) thank you

You can now assign different hotkeys in different rooms. Hover your cursor over a tool and hit the END key. This will allow you to now, assign a hotkey to it. You can test this out by assigning the Transform tool in the Sculpt workspace with one hotkey, and then a different one for the Transform tool in the Retopo Workspace. You can see that one assignment does not cancel or change the other.

​@@PILGWAY3DCoat it doesn't work with some hotkeys. I have 1,2,3,4 assigned for different tools in Sculpt mode, and when I press them in, lets say, Modelling mode (where I want 1,2,3 to be Vertex, Edge, Plane select modes, similar to Blender), it returns me to Sculpt mode and selects that tool. Another thing is Add Primitive tool. If I assign a custom hotkey to Apply button, it works only with the set mode. For example, I want key "A" to Apply for whatever mode (Add, Subtract, Intersect, Split) is currently chosen. But if I assign "A" to Apply in Add mode, if I switch to Subtract mode and press A, it adds primitive, instead of subtracting. Basically currently you have to assign an individual Apply hotkey for every boolean mode. Hope this makes sense! You guys are great!

According to Copilot; "3D-Coat introduced the feature to convert a normal map into a mesh in its 2021 release. Specifically, this functionality was added in version 4.9.06, "

It should work just fine during the trial period, however, make sure you have a file open or create a model in the application, first. If you just launch the app and there is no object in the scene, you will not see an export option...because there literally is nothing for 3DCoat to export. I hope that answers your question.

It is better to visit the 3DCoat forum and post your question there, because trying to diagnose support/performance related questions on RUclips is very difficult to do, as it is not designed for that task. On the forum, you can share a screen recording perhaps, to show exactly what steps you are taking, what tools are used and in what context. On our end, the Smart Retopo tools are not lagging, but there could be an issue in a specific scenario that we are not aware of, so please share that with us on the forum. There are other users + Staff members there to assist you. 3dcoat.com/forum

@@PILGWAY3DCoat it's lagging in the video. That's why i am asking it on youtube.

Agreed! Let's hope they bring the sculpting tutorial too

If you are referring to Adjustment layers, please send that request to support@pilgway.com as it was requested before, on the forum, but the more requests a feature gets, the higher the priority it receives.

We will make an updated video on Smart Materials, however, just because videos covering a tool or feature may be years old, that doesn't mean an updated video will provide new information. Many features work largely, if not completely the same, today as they did 5-10yrs ago.
