Brilliant' You made my day, really. Awesome trailer - the music fits the hype perfectly. I'm Glad that you released the tutorials as well. Worth the wait!

Hi, I also asked this in "status update" thread - I see there is a 25% discount going on. I already own DDO, but from my user account I don't see any option to buy nDO *only* so that I'd have a full "suite", there seems to be only option to buy full suite, no option to upgrade to add nDO...? And if there was, would there be a 25% discount for that?

Brygelsmack

I get this with CS6. 

zeeshannasir

Woah! I'm gonna download right now.  THANK YOU! 

Synaesthesia

Thanks for the report, Brygelsmack! I'll forward it to the developers. If in the future you would like a direct line to contact us about bugs and concerns, please join the Quixel Tools Group on Facebook, and feel free to post anything that comes up!  
From Teddy: 

Photoshop connection issue -- should try closing PS and suite down, and running suite as admin once, the close it, then run the suite.

Congrats and Thank you! Can't wait to use it! Downloading now

Congratulations on release! Any chance we will get a mirror?:)

I still haven't gotten my email. Are they still being rolled out?

Synaesthesia

There's over 55,000 users being mailed, currently.   You can download the Suite directly, here! Use the e-mail you purchased the Suite with as your license, and you should be good to go!

Is 3DO Baker packed with 2.0? I don't see the license on the site.

alekseypindrus

zeeshannasir, 3DO is a freeware, you don't need a license for it. It will be installed with NDO/DDO.
Synaesthesia, it would be nice to see updated Wiki with docs for current version of Suite.

tach

Great news! So far it all seems to work perfectly.
However I seem to be missing the presets present in 1.8 for Weathering. They are also present in the Suite 2 tutorials but I can't find them anywhere in my UI. Could anyone point me in the right direction, please?

Synaesthesia

Alekseypindrus is absolutely correct, 3DO is 100% free! The GPU baker is part of 3DO now.  In regards to documentation,  it should be up shortly if it already isn't there!  

Tach, which presets are you referring to?

tach

All the weathering presets such as dirt, dust, water droplets, mud from above or below, etc...

Ultragrisen

So i get to 3DO2

I click on Import Albedo and when i navigate on the 2nd to 3rd folder to find my texture 3DO2 shuts down...

Synaesthesia

Tach: That's very strange. Would you like to report this bug on the Quixel Tools Group? It's a direct line to the developers.  

Ultragrisen: If you could also post that issue on the tools group, that would be fantastic! We'll get these bugs squashed in no time with your assistance! Thank you!

This is fantastic news, really made my day!  Thanks.  :-)  Can someone tell me how big the download is?  I have a data cap, and may have to acquire more data.  Any info appreciated!

SYNAESTHESIA  Sweet, how long is it going to be 25% off for?

dorodo

I just want to say I love you guys.

Synaesthesia

XChris: That's a great question! I'll find out ASAP for you.  

Dorodo:

Dexyn

Loving the new build. Couple questions:

1) Is there a key shortcut list for the new 3DO?

2) Will you be able to show the UV's in Photoshop.

3) Is there really not a way to Control-Z in 3DO? If so, that's pretty harsh.

Thane-

Im only at 1:28 in the workflow primer and I had to stop in and say WOW! I love the windowless model viewer! Great job Teddy and crew!

Synaesthesia

Hey, Deyxn! Great questions!

1) Click on this and CTRL+F to NAVIGATION CONTROLS.

2) Yes! You can do that in basically any version of DDO or NDO, as they're just Photoshop plugins essentially. Paste your UVs into your albedo map and you'll be able to see them in the PSD, and on your model.  There is a possibility that fully-supported UV overlays will be coming in a future update!

3) Yes, but it's disabled by default for performance improvements - 8k is a little sluggish with undo enabled. You can click on the performance button in 3DO while in painting mode to set the level of undos and whether you can undo at all!  I've attached an image that demonstrates where it is.

Dexyn

Ah, thanks for the quick update! Very useful, excited to dig into this, so far the shaders and masks are really great.

Synaesthesia

Yes, I'm quite happy with this release. Our programmers are great at what they do. Have you joined the Facebook group for Quixel yet?

Houston! We have a problem here!

I imported the object, and started dDo... That's what happened...

Woodee

Thanks for all your hard work guys!

Martin_H

3DO crashes when I try to bake (says my "game" crashed). I'll check back after the next update.
I was surprised to see Unity 5.3 being used for 3DO, that's still a beta release as far as I know.

Thanks for all your hard work!

Thank you!  :-)  That is very satisfactory.  I was afraid "5 gigs" or something like that.  Very good, thanks again.

How long does the activation take? I bought the suite 2hrs ago and should "receive an email shortly with my invoice attached", as stated in the purchase-confirmation mail.
(I didn't have an account but created it afterwards...)

Saddly i dont have a Facebook

I just installed the new suite on my laptop but when i try to open 3DO it initializing until 80% and then it crashes with "The game crashed". I'm not sure if it is related to my laptop but i have tried Suite 1.8 with 3DO without crashes before.

Also i have one license but will i be able to install and activate this suite also on my Desktop PC?

Maybe stupid question but is it possible to load projects created with previous suite 1.8?

Thanks,
Dave

Any reason why heightmaps are still not working?

Death Beam Sunlight

Add color picking, semetry and uv prevew and I will buy it.)

Also missing from my suite as well.. any resolution to this?

Synaesthesia

We have a patch in development right now that will restore those weathering presets.  Should be out soon!

@Loggie24 - could you please define "not working" for us?
 @davaze- You can install on as many machines as you wish, but you may only have one machine activated per license. You'll get an e-mail from our licensing system to deactivate the currently licensed machine so you can activate that license on another machine.  
@Death Beam Sunlight - We're currently working on symmetrical painting. Color picking already exists in Photoshop.  UV previewing also exists - you can paste your UV map into your albedo channel and have it display directly on the model!
@Cosmosxxx - are you still having licensing issues?
@Ultragrisen - You can make a profile for just relaying bugs to the team, for now I'll cross-post your issue there.   Your call, let me know!
PI3C3 - That is unfortunate! Could you please post that on the Quixel Tools Group - I can forward it to the team as well!  

loggie24

Nothing is pretty much happening. I load my heightmap in the importer and all i can see is a minute change of the mesh at 1.00, it's defenitly trying but not hard enough (tried all the default meshes and custom)

Guys, you are amazing! I can't wait to try it! And thanks for the free update - it's surprisingly kindly!

Sorry, I've made a mistake. I mean eyedropper tool.

Nope, works now

It looks like the problem with 3DO crashing on my laptop might be related to the lack of memory. It currently has 4GB memory installed which was never a problem with previous suite and 3DO but now when trying to run 3DO i can see the free memory drop from 2GB to 0. Now i wonder if 2.0 license also will give you the right to use 1.8. If suite 2.0 will be backwards compatible in the future then i could at least still run 1.8 on my laptop.
