Solved: 3DO2 - does the color paint layer actually work?

defragger

Hello,

"add color paint layer" adds a new paint layer but after that it just kind of freezes the 3D view. I can still use the GUI and Photoshop is still working fine. But no more camera controls in 3DO and no painting, why?

I´m using a decent desktop machine with i5 and GTX 460

EDIT: the camera controls are working now. But still no painting.

Ok I have discovered more. Painting is possible but only in the middle of my mesh and only in 45 degree direction strokes?? Painting in other areas won´t show up.

That's quite strange. Could I take a look at your project, if you don't mind uploading it?

did some investigation on this.

I tried the exactly same mesh exported as OBJ and it works.
Then I exported it as FBX without Axis conversion (Z-up) and it also works.
Then did another export without changing anything else (only change to Y-up within the exporter) and it produces the same results as in the screenshot that I have posted earlier.

Exporting FBX with Y- Axis up causes this problem (for me).

Fresh Quixel projects were created for every test. Only added one paint layer.

I'm glad you found a workaround for this!  I'll let the developers know that this was causing an issue.
