Every volume will be merged to the separate layer while merging from voxels to per-pixel. Don't lift edges allows to avoid (if need) lifting of edges at the outer boundary of the brush. Smoothness allows to control hardness of edges, Normals sampling - variate radius to calculate average normals. Surface Flatten brush improved - got several parameters: Smoothness, Normals sampling, Don't lift edges. Possibility to export curves directly from Curve tool as polygonal object to be easily used in other applications. New button in transform tool - Center in local space.

Extrude-based voxel tools (increase, airbrush, etc) got good extension in rectangular selection mode вЂ“ they extrude surface on the depth value. It is very helpful for printing, exporting just for render, exporting objects to be curve profiles, exporting for game-engines for static objects.

New major feature! There is a possibility to reduce polycount in voxel scene during export. Universal shader was constructed to simplify constructing complex shaders with cavity, bump, environment map, diffuse and specular. Voxel volumes intersections using CTRL+SHIFT everywhere - while merging model, dragging layers. It is important if you want to merge unclosed mesh. New button in merge tool - Make mesh closed. New checker in curve tool - 'Stick to ground' to fit curve better to the surface if need. You can constraint movements with keys 'X', 'Y', 'Z' or using combination of them. Moving points in curve tool improved - if you will click and drag point handler will not appear but point will be moved in screen space. Curves got 4 modes: extrude, move, rotate, scale to build mesh base rapidly and have very good control over the curve. Users can easily add their own primitives. Examples: cube, cylinder, bezier plane, blob вЂ“ all controlled by control points or transformed as a whole. Rich set of free-form primitives introduced. New Voxel tools: muscles tool, toothpaste tool, planar tool, barelief tool, chisel tool. Three types of displaying a mesh: no checker, simple checker, complex checker. Added new ABF++ algorithm for unwrapping meshes. Now there is a possibility to edit vertices, edges and faces of selected UV island (scaling, rotation, translation) or to edit the whole UV island (scaling, rotation, translation). Added new and majorly improved UV Editing Tools. Algorithm for islands padding during texture export improved. Eraser is using its own selected brush, not the one selected for pen. In so way even DP->MV and MV->DP transfers are possible. Possibility to save all information about layers (depth+color+specular) over some UV-set without saving mesh to be able to transfer all info from one model to other with different topology but same UV-set. In so way displacement can be easily transferred to other mesh preserving layers. Displacement of all layers can be exported as a EXR file with one layer in EXR file per layer in scene. It is possible now to export specular in PSD file and edit all specular layers in external editor. New pen parameter introduced in 'Pen opt' page - 'Zero pressure radius' - relative pen radius when pen pressure is zero. Materials/masks will be scaled/moved together with navigation in UV preview window in the same way as in the main viewport. Drag&drop supports dropping images not only from file explorer but from web too! For example find some image in google images and drop directly to 3DC without saving it to file!

You can drop directly to viewport, then you will be asked how to use object or drop image/object to specific place like materials/pens/masks palette to perform action immediately without questions. You can open or merge 3B files, models for painting and voxeling, create pens, assign reference images, create new layrs with texture, create materials, masks, fill fields with filenames.

Full support of Drag&Drop of files from explorer to 3D-Coat done. It gives much more control over all rectangular tools - to avoid actions through all volume. It acts in all tools вЂ“ paint tools, hide, cell hide, retopology, etc. All rectangular and other effects can be limited by depth and act until some limit. B-Splines can be used there instead of default splines for all spline or separate points. Splines in E-panel got very serious improvement - you can edit them, operate, save, load, transform as you wish, apply multiple times. Improved functionality of the Splines mode in the E-panel. Today 3D Coat 3.2 released with alot of improvements
