3D Coat 4 - update 4.0.09 [BETA]

Changes:

• Quadrangulation tweaked to get better capturing of narrow details and better quality in average
• Several critical bugs from Mantis fixed - especially vertex painting with symmetry.
  A complete list with resolved bugs will be found here: http://3d-coat.com/mantis/view_all_bug_page.php
• Scripts can be called from command line
• PSD files may be exported from File->Export dialog as one of the textures types. Also if obj / lwo / fbx files refer PSD file, it will be imported correctly as well. It is especially important for AppLinks.
• VoxLayer got "round profile for edge" as option.

Mac&Linux builds will be done soon as well.

3D Coat 4 - update 4.0.07B [BETA]

Changes regarding quadrangulation:

• Better support of guidelines.
  Important rules to get best results: Don't make intersecting guides! Don't draw too many guides! In symmetry case it is better to place all guides on one side.
• Better capturing of finger-like details
• Overall quality improvements

3D Coat 4 - update 4.0.07A [BETA]

Changes:

• Auto-retopology improved, should work better and give more stable result. But it still requires work.
  Please send any problematic files (bad quality or hang) directly to this email with subject "Autoretopo problem" - for ease of seeking. This will help to reach stable point much faster.

Please be careful with:

1. Enabling hardsurface on soft meshes will give wrong result
2. Symmetry is very important!
3. Too many guidelines may drop down quality. Mark only really important guides. But in most cases guides are not required at all.

Thanks for feedback and patience!

3D Coat 4 - update 4.0.07 [BETA]

Changes:

1) Essentially updated quadrangulation:

• quads only in very most cases
• adaptive density, much better features capturing (like fingers)
• users strokes will create exact edges if tangent post-smoothing is turned off
• hardsurface retopology. But it is a bit experimental.
• good symmetry support. Symmetry improves quality drastically.
• no more spirals. Edgeloops are created in almost all cases.

2) Clone/Cut&Clone problem fixed (reported by Phil Nolan)
