3D-Coat 3.0 ALPHA
Posted 05 September 2008 - 06:21 PM
This is very first and very basic demo/alpha of volumetric tools. It will get huge future development, it is just first step to show some principles of volumetric sculpting. You will find the icon in left panel at the bottom. The link is there:
++ CUDA-enabled version (requires NVidia GeeForce 8... ,9... or 2... - see full list there) :
To get it to work you need:
1) Go to
2) Choose your OS and download CUDA 2.2 ot later:
- driver
- toolkit
and install both of them
Version without CUDA support:
Both DX/GL works with VS.
If you have some problems with running DX version, download and install latest DirectX there:
Mac version of 3D-Coat 3.0 ALPHA
Vox. sculpting presentation files (ppt+video):
Video codec (if need)
Vox sculpting gallery and description:
+++++many many more
edit: a short review made by Phil Nolan:
Change log since ALPHA0:
Alpha V87(RC)
Changes (detailed, all changes are posted frequently in twitter too)
- Improving and getting baking in retopo tool to work in all modes - voxels, DP, microverts
- Delete object/material/faces - getting to work
- Improving normalmap calculation in DP - leads to less seams insde UV islands
- New splash screen for V3
- Render improvments - better AO uniformness, no more black contour around object
- Incorrect Undo in Retopo strokes mode fixed
- I made possibility to edit tiled pictures. This feature will appear in invitation screen in DP section->plane. Thanks to ghib for cool idea!
- fixed suspending 3DC while opening file that does not exist (from recent for example)
- I have made "Snap to low-poly vertices" item in View menu
- Fixed - undo in Line mode for E panel in DP
- Edit all layers /projection in ext editor will check now if layer name contains "normalmap" and if so, assign corresponding colorop to layer
- Enter/exit transform tool in painting mode fixed (there was wrong pen setting on exit)
- Fixed: direct painting now works correctly after exit out of usual sculpt mode (there was problems on newely sculpted areas in dp)
- Fixed: Chinese font pattern appeared in Render room after checking View->Show displaced mesh
- Fixed: duplicated tabs in tool parameters window.
- I made common selected button style for tool parameter panel and for left tool selection panel (it was far not so quck to do as I expected)

Alpha 58
1) Cloth tool (read hints carefully)
2) Shaders system is essentially improved. Now shader maker can define own variables and user will be able to edit them (see shader Granit for example - there are comments in file Variables.xml)
3) Many important bugfixes

Alpha 50
1) Essential improvements in drawing with 'E' panel - several profiles are there, algorithm improved.
2) Many bugfixes
Alpha 49
1) Quadrangulation supports symmetry. Enable symmetry plane to force symmetry and press "Quadrangulation". Even if symmetry is partial, 3DC will try to quadrangulate partially symmetrical.
2) Improving Drawing with contours using 'E' panel.
3) 2 methods of making hulls - surface based and voxel based (importanf for 3D-printing)
4) GL shaders fixed
5) Bugfixes
non-voxel changes:

2) Whole smooth in retopo tool
3) Merging unclosed meshes
4) Additive/subtractive action inside curves in 'E' panel (not 100% finished)
Alpha 47
1) Important of reported bugs are fixed - shaders related, deleting/export single object problem fixed
Alpha 46
Here you can assign separate shaders for every object (as usual - RMB). If you have chosen shader that uses current color (like "Default" shader) - you can choose separate color for every object.
Alpha 45
1) Support of PLY & STL
2) Much better export - see RMB menu. Also you don't need to press "To polygones" to export object.
3) Possibility to use some object as a patten for curves and merge tool
4) Many new patterns for merge tool and curve profiles.
5) Bugfixes
Alpha 44
1) Axial symmetry tool
2) Import point cloud (experimental)
3) Possibility to import huge meshes in VS (up to 10 M)
4) Bugfixes
Alpha 43
1) Tree-like structure (don't forget to press RMB on tree view panel)
2) Copy tool
3) Bit better "To polygones". Slightly slower but without holes.
Alpha 42
CUDA-related changes:
1) Almost all voxel tools support CUDA
2) Almost all voxel tools use masks and materials as tool degree multiplicator (clay, smooth, fill, build, airbrush, extrude, carve)
Non-cuda changes
- possibility to render rotated model (or fly around cam shortcuts)
Alpha 41
This is the very first CUDA supporting version.
Only CUDA supported tools:
Only 64-bit executables support CUDA
There is CUDA checker to compare speed. Speed growth is very noticeable on bigger brushes.
Also you can press ALT+ENTER to enter fullscreen mode. It works faster.
It is interesting if it will work without CUDA drivers:
Alpha 40
1) Less memory consumption, especially in 64-bit version
2) Bugfixes, stability improvements. Now all painting (non-volumetrix) functions work well in 64-bit mode.
3) "Invert tool action" in most of volumetric brushes - it is like sticky CTRL
4) In "Increase resolution" you will be notified how much memory is required to perform operation.
Alpha 39
64-bit support.
Alpha 38
) More accurate work of transpose (selection without holes)
2) Advanced gizmo - many new options, digital input
3) Possibility to smooth seletion using SHIFT in pen mode
4) Airbrush-style selection
5) More correct undo
6) Many bugfixes
Alpha 37
I have implemented new handlers like 3dioot described (with small altering)
Alpha 36
I have add selection with alpha, but it is slightly unfinished (undo works not perfectly with selection). But anyway I have made this update because there was fixed 2 very important longstanding bugs.
- bug that causes slowdowns after some time, cracked quads, crashes without possibility to save result. At least it was fixed. Thank to wailingmonkey who has given me so full descriprion of the bug that I have fixed it immediately
- compatibility/rener speed bug fixed.
Alpha 35
1) Transpose tool
2) Auto-simplification in "To polygones"
3) Bugfixes
Alpha 34
1) Faster work on huge objects
2) Support of all pen options: spacing, jitters for all tools - carve, airbrush, grow...
3) Support of material/mask for airbrush and extrude
4) Better/faster work of curves/spikes/snake
5) Experimental: cubic interpolation in sphere tool (I have made many experiments, not all was successful)
6) Mush more smooth brushing with airbrush/grow/build
7) Constraints for depth/radius change using RMB
as always bugfixing and optimisation
Alpha 33
1) Slice tool works in retopo with voxel models even on HUGE models ( Jokermax - for you:) ).
2) Use RMB to change depth/radius.
3) Faster incremental render, compatibility with older video cards.
4) Updated text in hints
Alpha 32
I worked mostly over stability, bugfixes, speed. Now after crashes result will be auto saved. But anyway it is worth to use autosave every 10 min.
Alpha 31
1) Incremental render! In this mode only changed parts of mesh will be rendered. It leads to big performance boost especially at big polycount. It needs some testing on different video cards because of it is slightly hardware dependent.
2) Very good quality of "Increase resolution"
3) Accurate smoothing checker
4) More smooth surface in retopo tool in "Merge in scene"
5) Mass bugfixes
Alpha 30
1) Hide tool !
2) Less memory usage, faster work, less leaks, better stability (I hope, but need testing)
3) Much less 3B file size, 3x or 4x less. But: please keep backups, file format was essentially changed
4) Improvement in carve tool - better work on thin surfaces
5) Minor improvements in corves/snake
6) Retopo & VS speed improvement
7) Faster Inc resolution and smooth all. But inc resolution still requires smoothing.
Minor UI style tweaking
Alpha 29
I worked hard over makeing airbrush and other growers to work correctly with noisy alphas. It resulted with performance improvement and many bugfices, to more correct work of brushes.
Alpha 28
I have fixed critical bugs, add "double sided" to 2d-paint, "Start form first point" in sphere tool.
One note about "Merge into scene" in retopo tool (to Juan at first) - it is better to choose resolution that is only slightly (10%) more then voxels resolution.
Alpha 27
1) Retopo tool can work directly with voxel object
2) Many bugfixes (export also)
3) [x] Grow on pen motion is add to many tools
4) Default sphere radius decreased for faster start
Alpha 26
1) Tweaking in tools, storing vox tool state
2) More powerfut grow/thaw tool
3) I hope render will work on less powerful video cards
4) Bugfixes
5) Reference meshes can be bigger now
Alpha 25
1) Multicore optimisation! There is "Multicore" and "Show info" checkers - you can compare speed.
2) New brush - Build - for faster building volume.
3) Multiple bugfixes/small improvements
Alpha 21
1) Speed improvements
2) Carve/extrude depth linked to pen pressure
Alpha 20
1) MUCH faster Carve/extrude tools
2) Symmetrical copy command to make both sides identical
3) New tool - extrude (in some way like carve)
4) First version of export (Merge as ref mesh->export/retopo). Slightly crappy but... it first.
5) rearranget tools
6) Follow brush
7) "Rings" bug fixed
Better quality of "Increase resolution"
Alpha 19
1) Carve tool uses alpha
2) Voxel pinch tool
3) Supprt of GL shaders for shadow and depth
Alpha 18
1) Bugfixes
2) New voxel tool - plane
3) Better shadow quality
4) New/improved shaders - soft shadow (2 types), wood
5) Carve tool adjuster - now it adds starting from far plane and subtracts from near plane
I think you will love new wood shadrer - it shows geometrical details much better.
Only DX shaders updated. Open GL/Mac version will come soon.
Alpha 17
I have made Move in normal direction - with shift. I think it is very important.
Alpha 16
1) Realtime shadows (only DX - select Shaders->LambLight_Shadows) - only DX now, it is easy to make GL, but had no time...
2) Move tool with pen fixed
3) Undo in curves fixed
4) Stability improved
for shader's makers :
5) DepthSampler can be used in shaders - see examples Shaders->Normals_from_depth, Depth.
Depth is packed in RGB, but there is easy way to unpack - see Depth sample.
It can be used to make SSAO effect. I have made only DX shaders - had no time today for GL.
Example Shaders->Normals_from_depth shows that it is possible to recover normals from
depth field - ZBrush - like method of rendering.
6) ShadowsSampler can be used in shaders - see Shaders->LambLight_Shadows.
Olly hard shadows implemented. Soft shadows are possible with some tweaking.
Depth in ShadowsSampler is also packed in RGB.
It is required to keep compartability with Mac (no support of float render targets).
Alpha 15
1) Closed curves
2) Sharp edges on curves
3) Profiles of curves - hemisphere, cone, arrow, spike, worm
4) Better positioning of curves (direction of details is more logical)
5) Better support of custom shaders - now you can choose different shaders sets from menu Shaders.
Custom shaders and textures are stored in subfolders of Shaders\UserShaders\...
Alpha 14
It took slightly more time...
Additional functionality:
1) curves can start from empty space
2) close buttons over popup panels
Alpha 13
1) Big improvement in curve tool. Now you can create custom patterns, make tree of curves.
Patterns can be very complex - any obj file can be a pattern for curve tool.
General requirement - part between 0 and 1 along y-axis must be tiled. absolutely precise
tiling is not required. You can make osmall overlaps. Just look at samples in VoxStamps
folder. The sample of usege:
It could be very good to create a library of sample object for quick sketching.
Objects browser is also used for Merge tool for quick access.
2) Better possibilities for shader makers - now you can use variables
float4 CurrColor and BackColor to get foreground and background colors, use custom texture
sampler CustomSampler1;//corresponds to texture Shaders/CustomSampler1.dds
sampler CustomSampler4;//corresponds to texture Shaders/CustomSampler4.dds
uniform sampler2D CustomSampler1;//corresponds to Shaders/CustomSampler1.dds;
uniform sampler2D CustomSampler4;//corresponds to Shaders/CustomSampler4.dds;
It is useful for creating sparkles, anime effects, environment mapping and many many other.
I have used akira's shader as default, just inverted AmbientColor and used current
forreground color as a scene color
Alpha 12
I have fixed several bugs and add interesting tool - Spray/thaw.
It is purely volumetric tool and even can't be represented in surface terminology.
It works as a snow growing of wax thawing in dependence on CTRL. I like this tool
Alpha 11b
Undo in move tool fixed.
But there is some more work with undo to work perfectly in all model and transactions...
Alpha 11
1) Much faster move and surface->voxels transforming. I think at least 2x.
2) Carve acquires pressure
Alpha 10
1) Voxel based move.
2) New style of carve tool
3) Clay tool
4) Much more (maybe 10x) faster transforming surface->voxels
Alpha 9
Only major bugfixes.
Alpha 7
1) Many surface tools (but still not full toolset)
2) Possibility to increase mesh resolution (object grows, I will improve it)
Alpha 6?
Crictical bugs mentionad by Juan fixed:
when I save the model an open it again, the Symmetry plane seam to be scale.
The Pinch tool it not working like it should be or mabey i doesn't notice in small areas.
It doesn't have the Smooth option like the other tools.
The snake, spike curve, and merge tools are leaving artifacts when you use it with the Ctrl key.
Alpha 5b
Symmetry was forgotten.
Alpha 5
1) Possibility to cut surface like a butter with rectangle/ellipse/curve as it shown below:
2) First results of surface approach - draw with pen and pinch tools.
It is very easy to add full set thete - it will be done soon.
But transition surface<->voxels is slighty long.
3) Many bugfixes, better look of red sphere.
Alpha 4
I have updated the link. Now:
1) Volumetric tool works with symmetry
2) Universal handlers are done.
3) Much more powerful smoothing depending on pressure.
Besides the volumetric tool, retopo tool was improved:
1) Merge in scene hull of object - well if your reference mesh consists on meny intersecting objects
2) Pose retopo mesh befor merging using universal manipulator
Alpha 3
1) Support of merging self - intersecting objects. But open meshes still not supported (but will).
2) Better snake / spikes - no dirt on self intersection.
3) Support of merging objects with smoothing groups
Bug fix, [stopped merging loaded object with default sphere]
Alpha 2
1) Save/Open works!
2) Possibility to subdivide mesh to merge
3) Better manipuating (local space in scale), not resetting while changing manipulators style.
Alpha 1
You can merge your own mesh in scene - in current state it should be closed and non - selfintersecting.
Use "Merge->Select mesh" and use pen/move/scale/rotate
in pen mode you need to click, in mrs - press enter to merge actually.

One Question: I have read in the NewTek forums that you want to implement pure low-poly painting without displacement & sculpting. Is this going to happen for Version 3.0?
Greetings from Germany

thx by advance
Pilou (Frenchy)
Is beautiful that please without concept!
Posted 06 September 2008 - 12:34 AM
Are we saying this is a voxel modeler, where I can start from scratch (no base mesh), and create a hi-res model to then retopo and pull normal maps from?
Or, is this planned as a voxel sculptor , where I have a base mesh and add detail from there?
Either way, very cool!!! Had a few minutes to play and this came out.

Someone can put an image with the interface where are the new volumetric tools?
thx by advance
It's at the very bottom of the tools on the left side. It looks like a cube made of clay. Or maybe an ice cube.
I have not figured out what Transpose is supposed to do. Anyone?

I would be happy if I could import a low-poly model with hard corners, like a 6-poly cube for example, and have it stay a cube. But then be able to paint on displacement and possibly smooth the corners of it as I see fit.

I would be happy if I could import a low-poly model with hard corners, like a 6-poly cube for example, and have it stay a cube. But then be able to paint on displacement and possibly smooth the corners of it as I see fit.
Yes having both would be needed. we definitely need a way to apply smoothing to the whole surface at least for organic mesh(i won't want a blockly looking mesh). Hope Andrew addresses this issue.
More importantly, in near future update a method for me to bring in my own mesh and voxelize it, maybe thru normal load menu and press on the ice cube?
Nice work Juan, was that made from the default sphere? Your very patient...i'm going to wait until i can important my own mesh before i test it.

COLUMBUS, Ga. (AP) -- Columbus officials are protesting a plan that could trim the number of soldiers in a Fort Benning unit.
The military presence is a major driver of the local economy.
Teresa Tomlinson and the city council are expected to approve a resolution Tuesday opposing any reductions in the 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team.
The move comes a week after the Greater Columbus Chamber of Commerce asked residents to voice their concerns on the possible cuts. A new Army plan calls for reducing the service from 562,000 to 490,000 soldiers.
Losing the brigade at Fort Benning could affect an estimated 7,100 jobs.

WASHINGTON – When it comes to Washington's taste in diamonds, the region is tapping into the national conscience.
"Their tastes are exactly on par with the national preference which is round cut diamonds, generally colorless and high-clarity grades of round cut," says Josh Holland of the diamond outfitter Blue Nile. "This is the most frequent choice of Washingtonians."
The average cost for a ring is $4,000 and the best place to propose is the Tidal Basin at the peak of the cherry blossom season. When all else fails, Blue Nile says the Washington Monument is also hard to beat.
The Bluenile.com website includes a photo gallery of engagement rings recently purchased in Washington, D.C.

[Euro 5]
[Supreme Court]
Gazprom Nefts Moscow oil refinery has launched
production of Euro 5 diesel fuel. Starting last month, all
diesel fuel supplied by the Moscow oil refinery to the Russian
market was expected to meet the Euro 5 standard. Production of
Euro 5 diesel at the refinery began after the reconstruction of the 2 million tpy
diesel fuel hydrotreater unit was completed. The new unit has
helped reduce sulfur content in the fuel to 10 parts per
million, which is 35 times less than that in Grade 3 fuel (the
baseline fuel approved for use in Russia). The Moscow oil refinery has been producing motor
fuels of Grade 4 and higher since April 2012.

A searchable database of project activity in the global hydrocarbon processing industry
Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.
