![]() ![]() the previews showed the expected bump, but when applied i got broken material error prompts, and no bump. but as they didnt work, and i knew how to "fix" the slowdown, i set 3dcoat for autodetect, which it did (i believe my issue earlier was not pointing out the EXACT folder location), and proceeded to load the shaders in. no slowdown, however in BOTH the preview and when applied they were "flat", no normals/bump/displacement applied as before. first shot, i did the manual install from the zips to a desired folder for the quixel mats. remove the document folder and all is well.īut id really like to get those quixel smart materials working, i actually came on saturday looking to invest in building up my library, and been stuck on this ever since =/Īnyway, after the clean install i tried adding the quixel materials again. that means the "problem" definitely was in the documents folder, because after the first uninstall the problem existed. The complete install worked like a charm, 3dcoat back to normal, thanks on explaining that. it used to load up in about 5 seconds, now its taking between 3 to 5 minutes to start, and slow while working =/ is this normal and expected? ive only added 32 presets so far, will this get worse if i add more?!? 3 minute load time is crazy. i can understand being slow during the process of adding the hires textures, but even after that, 3dcoat has become extremely slow. The instant 3dcoat started the autodetect, it became seriously slow. i had some trouble with them not working after being moved to another folder, and had to go thru the process all over.īut my problem is this. also, if it autodetects, it should auto save into a desired folder. Short story, download from the site, and select the exact folder where the files are. imports as a flat shader with no textures. even added the "_4K_surface_ms" to see, but no. that said, what about all the other files/folders in my quixel directory? will 3dcoat be able to read those as well? i tried zipping the folders to see, but that doesnt work. you have to be precise in the folder selection, at first i had selected the downloaded folder instead of the surfaces folder, and it detects only after a restart. i then downloaded from the site, and those were zip files, which 3dcoat does detect and install. then, using bridge i downloaded the free textures (surfaces?), which only gives you the file folders, and does NOT install auto or otherwise into 3dcoat. i imagine with my epic acct it gave me access to all these files/folders, in both the smartmaterial folder and surfaces folder. when i installed bridge and mixer, i set my download path to my D drive, and during the install it set up a complete directory for using quixel products. If youre using quixel stuff, please share your thoughts and stories. ![]()
