it's time for a new 3D Coat Update:

Updated to 3.5.27 (Win version first, other versions will come a bit later):

• Reset primitives problem solved - http://bit.ly/ohOCtV
• To center mass/boundary center/... in merge tool work correctly
• Andrew has fixed a problem in the sketch tool - http://bit.ly/rdNCam 
• Sketch tool/reference image were corrected to work with non power of 2 textures and to avoid a shadowbox preview in tools but Sketch tool.
• Andrew has finished a correct transition to voxels after using LC tools, there is a correct Undo/Redo after voxelization and a solved problem related to "explosion" of meshes.
• Framing center in viewport is correct now

Where is the interview this month?

Hello friends, the interview fans of my blog already realised it: There is no new interview this month. The reason is very easy: Unfortunately I had no time to interview a new artist for october. Additionally it begins to be more problematic to find someone "special" who uses 3D Coat and/or has time to be interviewed.

This brought me to the point to overwork my interview concept a bit. I think I will make the interviews more individual - which means: I keep a basic question list, but I will try to point the focus more related to the interview partner and her/his work. So every interview will be a little bit different and more interesting, I hope...

Additionally I think it would be nice to interview more people who are not mandatory using 3D Coat in their daily work. I would be happy if you write me your opinion about this plans.

Thank you for your patience.

Best wishes
Chris
