Finally a release date! www.3dpainter.com

The release date is august 25. This is a bit later than I originally planned, but the thing is that I'm having a short holiday in a few days and it wouldn't be a good thing if I were unreachable the weeks after the release. This is why it is postponed untill I return from holiday.

Thanks for the patience!
Filip

Oh graet something to look forward to ,roll on the 25th

I stand with credit card ready!!!

Is 3dpainter just for pc's? or will it be available for macs too?
(it looks so awesome)

Initially, it's Windows only. Later on, I'll try to make a Mac version too (if feasable...).

Hi, a 3dpainter question.

Say I have multiple maps on my object. Like I have an arm, there is one decal for the top of the arm and a seperate image decal for the bottom of the arm. Am I able to blend the seams on this with 3dpainter?

Does 3dpainter take all your maps and make it one map? Is that possible. I seem to recall a way to make that happen with an export feature, just wondering if 3dpainter does the same.

Am I expecting too much?

Good question. One of the must have's...

Yes, you can do that. Say you have one decal that overlaps another and you want to paint transparency onto one of them to blend together. And you can also use "projection paint" mode to paint across a seam, with the results making changes to the different decals that are involved.

Thanks Zan!

This is great news! Yipee! I can't wait. This is the best thing to ever happen! I am so excited!

i cant even imagine how this will change the way my models look after texturing im going to have to redo them all now woohoo!

Today is the Day!

No order link yet......

I won't be able to get it yet. But I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeally want it! I hope everybody posts WIPs of the 3DPainter work.

Yeah, I'm starting to get depressed already...

Not really, but the anticipation is killing me!

Where and how can I get it ?
how much is the fees ?

the web site is off or thereis another url ?

thanks
Al

The web site is there just teasing us with an announcement. http://www.3dpainter.com/ He is probably preparing it or something.

Last I heard it was like 80 bucks. I will explode if I can't have it soon

Wow! Check out the gallery page! http://www.3dpainter.com/index.php?page=gallery. Looks like it's been released, but I'll leave the official annoucement to him.

I got mine!!! order page works!

Just waiting on my unlock key! WHEEEE!!!!

EDIT 11:57 AM PST: Correction ... just got it! YAY!

Got it, magic

I ordered my copy!!!

Ugh! Now I really wish I had the money.

Was that a defined brush pattern in Fabrice's dino pic? If it is, that is supremely awesome!

Everyone who supplied images to the gallery -- just great job, everyone!

Got it! The unlock key was delivered within minutes too.
Can't hang around here...off to try out..

woo this looks good ,will take me some time to get to grips with it as I'm not good with this stuff but its going to be a lotta fun ,and yes quick as a flash

I'm messing around with mine now

its actually a lot easier than I thought it would be ,all I gotta do now is learn to paint

I ordered mine too..... where's my key?

RTFM Dhar...

It will ask you to e-mail a machine ID to 3dpainter... it will then reply with your user name and key.

Keep in mind this is hardware specific, so you can't use it on another machine (that I know of).

Damn... have to wait a few days till my bank transfer will be there...
I'm so damn curious of this product...

*Fuchur*

I wish I had a PC for exciting times like these...

Mine's ordered, just waiting for key to unlock the software.

OK, I got the key & the fix, it's up & running, but, how do i use it the way Stian showed it at the Bash? He'd paint something on the model, then he turns the model and what he painted moves with the model.

I'm still reading the manual....I just can't wait.... reading is too time consuming...

So when (if?) the Mac version comes out, will we be able to get the introductory price of $79 also?

I really can't say if or when a Mac version will be made (I'll try to see what can be done), but if it happens, the Mac users will have the same introductory price.

Dhar - You need to create an 'automatic decal' then open 'projection Paint' from the top menu. You can then paint directly onto the model. You have to close 'Projection Paint' to turn the model and reopen to start painting again.
I think that's right - I'm on a different machine for internet access and I'm only just starting to experiment with the software myself. My initial reaction is WOW!!! This is going to save so much time

How in the royal heck does someone program a thing like this.
I'm sitting here amazed...

Filip... you are officially 'superific'.
Someone put 'Programmer' under his login name please.

May you grow filthy rich so that the port to Mac comes sooner than later.

Thanks Filip!
Rodney

Added: For those interested it took about 30 minutes from initial download through registration to operational 3D Painter. This was with a problem with me sending a bad registration number too.
An email to Filip got it fixed within a few more minutes.

Outstanding service!

In English...? Please.

Edit: Never mind, found it, on page 4 of the manual.

Wow, not only a great product, but easy manual to read, even for me Who'd thunk it?

Nice job Philip. Consider me a happy customer.

What does "hardware specific" mean? If I change my mainboard/CPU/graphiccard I'm not able to use it anymore?

If so I'll leave my fingers from this one.

Hope someone clarifies this.

Cheers,
DJ

A hardware bound license key allows the software to run on a specific computer. It is only based on the real core components of your PC (like mainboard and CPU). Changing the graphics card or installing a network card will not require a new key.

If you have a second PC or if you upgrade your PC (partly or completely), I can create extra license keys for you at no extra cost (as long as it's for the same user).

Best regards,
Filip

These are great news!
As I work on two different PCs you would send me two keys? So your licence is user-specific and not "installation"-specific? That'll be pretty fair.

Cheers,
DJ

Yes, that sums it up nicely!

[attachmentid=20019]This is realy nice ,heres something I used to get a hang of it

Filip, that is very fair and fantastic news. I too use two computers and was wondering about this 'hardware specific key' and what would happen when, inevitably, I change my laptop etc.

I sincerely hope you get the financial reward you deserve for creating this amazing software. I textured a tree last night by simply using the Auto Decal/Projection Paint mode and it was so easy. Previously I would have just slapped a procedural on it and maybe a few small dirt/moss decals to break it up.

Thanks.

I already fixed the seams on one model and it was super quick and easy. Would have been a real pain guessing back and forth with photoshop. Now I am just playing around. I highly recommend this product!

wow! I'll certainly be picking up my copy soon.

Cool!

This is a tree I created using the Sweeper plugin. I used it as a quick test in 3DPainter. I created an 'automatic decal' then used 'projection paint' to paint the model in 3D space. It's a bit rough as it's my first attempt but the potential is certainly there.

Good to hear about the multiple lic. I use AM on 2 separate machines and have one copy of 3dpainter up and running & Licenced.....will need to do this to my second machine but not at any rush,.....so the info gave me a sigh of relief...

Excellent program by the way and WELL WORTH the price tag (bargain) for me, Thanks..

How long does it take to get the license key? I ordered about 5 hours ago and am still waiting. I was really hoping this was an automated process. Now it looks like I'll have to wait untill Monday????

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

Have you sent your machine ID number and order number to Pixosaur?

If so you shouldn't have to wait long. Filip was FAST with my key and also with a couple of questions I've had since.

To get my first licence key also did take some hours, but just because the mail did get into Filips "Uknown adress" mailbox. I sent another mail and he got on it within an hour. Then yesterday evening (Germany and Belgium time 00:00) i inquired about another licence for my second computer and i got it after 30 Minutes. Cool programm cool service!!!
Cheers
