Also, stencils keep scale and states when you switch between them. Materials/stencils control panel cleaned up, looks better, more compact, icon-based. And of course rich options for stroke and alpha. It kept all previous functionality but got much much faster work of Stroke tool, drawing by spots/chunks, accurate edges, painting without 'ladder' effect if thickness becomes too small. 2D-Paint/Carve remade to use Voxel Brush Engine. Sharp edges over the Curve Tool are now correct, without self-intersections. Tube/Toothpaste, Muscle Tools got a functionality update, new useful painting profiles - Box and Alpha to imitate clay tubes. Even Photoshop interaction supports non-ASCII layer names. Special characters are supported everywhere - paths, user folders, layers, objects, textures, item folders may contain non-ASCII characters. Bake shader with reflections in the Light Bake Tool. This should strongly improve your drawing experience.

It makes drawing really responsive, solves the problem of 'backstroke', solves the problem of shorter strokes than actually drawn ones. First, if the pen touches the tablet and you paint something, exactly all trajectory that was drawn on the tablet will be drawn over the model.

more so if the brushes are similar.ģ.- Very important changes in Brushes. The Rotation option nicely avoids that 'static pattern', so changing this to never play the same alpha twice in a row ( i mean successively.) will make it look even better. The random function doesn't check what number in the sequence has been used so it can play the same brush repeatedly. Sequence brush doesn't seem to work in sculpt mode ( bug or not a feature?)Ģ. I think there's some caveats here though:ġ.

if there are more features that is 'hidden' it would make sense to highlight these in the manual aswell. If you Shift-select 2 or more brushes, 3DCoat will sequence these in random. Maybe create a new label in the Online manual under 'Paint' ( or for all that benefit from it) and name it something like:ġ.

Now, i rarely have to go into the manual to look something up but in this case, even after you telling about it i could not find it there, so this definitely should be highlighted. I can have a vivid imagination at times but knowing how 'dumb' many apps are, 'Hey., try this, then go buy a lottery ticket for figuring this out' The sequence though: Convoluted function 101? lol. Thanks Carlosan, Yeah, rotate Alpha along brush stroke is obvious as it's in your face all the time, same goes for the static rotate, which to me seems less useful. Having to edit these strips for Marmoset 4 is a little timeconsuming so i think it would be more flexible to have separate 'image slots' instead to load 1 single Alpha image into, but have up to 8 slots, prehaps formed as a list, and if only 1 slot is occupied the brush is treated like a normal brush in 3DC, but loading the list with more Alpha images, 3DC would sequence through these 1 after another, either having a static sequence that runs from 1 -> X or have a setting that randomly chooses one of these images each new step. In conjunction with the sequence / rotating feature it has all the other 'ordinary' paint features as opactiy, hardness, jitter, contrast e.t.c This feature in Marmoset 4 makes it easy to creates a nice random effect Marmoset 4 has support for up to 8 ( as per the version i own.) When painting, marmoset cycles through each stamp, in 3DC this is simlar to the 'Spacing' setting. Marmoset 4 uses a set of equally sized images saved as png ( or any other alpha preserving format) in a regular paint program as a strip Having a sequence brush that exist in Marmoset 4 would be nice, either to use when sculpting on Alpha / stamps or as brush when painting in Paint room. Thanks Elemeno, didn't know this already existed in Paint room, edited the topicĮDIT 2: After a little more investigation as it didn't make sense it was available in Paint room but i couldn't find it in Sculpt room, found it under the tickbox 'jitter', would be almost self explanatory if it wasn't hidden there, but put under 'Modifiers'.
