It seems that all the alphas I export from GIMP in EXR is generating me this message. 'īut why this message if I saved as EXR in the GIMP? 'Incorrect extension of mist_exr_skin2.exe. When I try to import this alpha created by GIMP into 3D-Coat, to my surprise, the following message appears: I took the same alpha, opened it in GIMP, edited the alpha and saved the image in EXR. When I directly import this alpha created in Blender into 3D-Coat, 3D-Coat imports the alpha correctly.Ģ. I created in blender an alpha and saved that alpha with 16-bits in EXR format:ġ. First Test regarding the 16 bit Exr format. Visit this page for more information about this feature.1. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display.

Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. (Sorry, was out of office when this released) This should get you going enough to really play a bit. Tools I use the most are at the top of the left hand side: Grow, Smooth, Scrape, Pinch, Smudge. Your interface does not look like mine, but you can move those interface sections around to suit your organizational desires. Usually for stamping options using the Alphas, I use the 'Extrude' tool. When you do this, your model will be resampled into the sharp edges you expected. I usually decide by a quick test of how fast it will stamp things or the grow or smooth tools operate.

This will be way too low to preserve detail so, I usually start somewhere around 1,000,000 and 2,000,000 to see if it is what I want. Just left click into the value field and it will pop up a dialogue that lets you retype the numbers to your liking. It usually (not always) defaults to some odd voxel value like '200,000'. Now, this can be a bit tricky until you get a feel for what you are working with. Where there is an 'S' on that new layer, left click and it will bring up the 'convert to Voxels' dialogue.

It will remain when you duplicate the layer.ĭuplicate a layer to preserve my original model (G). Click on a 'colour box' in the 'Shaders' box. This preserves the raw model without changes. I find this useful if I am doing work and want to save 'stages' of development. Where you can increase resolution if you want to 'slow down' the effects of the tools. I just put them there because I use them a bunch and want them very easily accessible.į. Keeps you from getting the 'black' look you got on your model import.Į. I use the Polymer colours for colouring my models to differentiate between parts or just setting a base colour. For instance, this is a set of transorms from 'JRO Tools.' Not that expensive and very, very useful. This is the 'Ornament Alphas' I use for a lot of my decorative things.

So, you just hit 'Reset Space' and it puts the transforms back to their original values.Ĭ. If you bring in a new model into a new blank layer, it will remember that. Say, if you move and scale and rotate (transforms in 3D parlance) it will remember that. Make sure you 'park' the 'Tool Options' to make it easy to get to things. This button will toggle you between orthographic and perspective modes.ī. Here is a quick breakdown on the basic interface as I use it for modeling:Ī. Why? So you have a lo-rez proxy in back up. BUT!! make a copy of the object then convert. Ahhhh, ok, here is the trick with getting something into 3D coat.įirst off, if you are looking to add texture to the model, then you must convert to a volumetric object.
