MacOS porting progress

3D-Coat 2.09 is done, now next step - combine 3DC with new graphical engine (that is partially used now). With this engine 3DC will support OpenGL/DirectX render and will be cross-platform. It will be big step to make 3DC compartible with MacOS. I hope we will make all in term that I have told in our forum.

3D-Coat 2.09 released!

Please visit our new site 3D-Coat - Texturing of 3D Model to see list of changes.

3D-Brush renamed to 3D-Coat. Version 2.07 released!

Here comes the first news: 3D-Bush has got new name - 3D-Coat. We decided to go for a more distinctive and unique name of the program, while preserving the descriptive nature in its title. Coat means "to cover something with a layer of a particular substance" so it well fits what 3D-Brush does. The short name is therefore 3DC.

Another good news is that 3D-Coat v.2.07 is now released! Of cause, all users who have purchased 3D-Brush will get 3D-Coat without any additional payment and without the serial number change.

2.07 has been a very big chunk of work accomplished. Please visit our new site 3D-Coat - Texturing of 3D Model to see list of changes.

The list of new features:
1) Adaptive geometry: now geometry will be additionaly automatically subdivided during edit process in dependence of details to get well displaced surface. It is very new and algoritmically very complex feature.
2) You can import big meshes now, up to 700 K. Many optimisatons was done to make it possible.
3) Initial subdivision. You can alter level of initial subdivision during mesh import. Now you can specify mid-poly mesh resolution.
4) New measure tool, you can measure distance in most common units - meters, inches, yards, miles, etc. Also the coordinate of picked point is printed in the right bottom corner.
5) Custom material mapping. New method of custom material mapping in custom fill pattern - mapping over existing uv-set. It allows to paing clothes in more easy way.
6) Masks are implemented. The mask is modulator for pen depth and transparency. The mask and materials could be moved and rotated independently using new navigation controls.
7) Masks and materials could be rotated discretely on 45 degrees using SHIFT.
8) Many stability improvements.
9) New interface style. Interface looks now more clear and sharp.
10) jpg export is correct now.

Curves changes:
11) Square forms. Some curve points could be marked as sharp. So you can make square forms in easy way.
12) Whole curve could be moved/scaled/rotated using new navigation controls.
13) Curve can be closed.
13) Arrows. You can draw arrows in easy way.
14) New curve drawing mode - spacing mode. Points will be set along curve with some spacing and jittering. It allows to make new effects with cirves.
15) Curves will be drawn correctly, even if knot points are far from each other and surface between them is curved much.

Layers changes:
16) Layers masking (linking) is implemented. One layer can mask another layer in non-destructive way.
17) Freeze. You can freeze the transparent or painted area of the layer. In this way you can use layer's transparency to paint selectively on another layers. It is like CTRL+click on layer in Photoshop. You can use CTRL+click on layer in 3DB now.

3) Smooth stroke - it allows you to make smooth and accurate strokes.
4) Camera/materials shortcuts.
5) Lock absolute depth. Possibility to lock absolute depth independently on radius using lock icon in top panel
6) Lock screen radius of the pen. Possibility to lock screen radius of the pen.
7) Redo. Redo is done
8) Layers menu. Layers menu is reorganised, it is much more convenient now
9) Undo. Undo works now for merge up/down, merge visible, delete layer
10) Presets window. Presets window works well with folders, it switches pen/strip/material folder if need.
11) Filter for drawing. Additional filter for drawing - pen pressure can depend on layer displacement.
12) Filters. Several filters - smooth/sharpen layer, adjust hew/saturation/lightness of the layer.
