7.9 Voxel Menu

From 3D-Coat Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search
Like most of the other major Tabs (or Rooms as they are also called), there is also an accompanying menu for it as well. There are not very many options in this menu and we have already covered most of them in previous sections. Any repeat functions are here for your convience. Let’s take a look at them:

Increase resolution. Increasing the resolution will effectively double the amount of voxels the current object layer has. This allows for a layer to have much more detail at higher resolutions. You can view the resolution of a layer, in the VoxTree, directly before the layer’s name. If it has just the name then you will know that it is at it’s base resolution and has not been increased.
Symmetry copy. If you have sculpted on one side of a volume object you can use this icon to copy all of that to the other side of the object. It works on any axis, so long as you have symmetry turned on along the preferred axis.
Clear. This will clear the selected object layer in the VoxTree of any voxels. It performs the same as the “Clear” tool on the left side tool bar in the Commands section.
Smooth. Will uniformly smooth (or relax) all of the voxels of the currently selected object layer in the VoxTree.
Unhide all. This unhides any hidden voxels.
Invert hidden. Inverts hidden voxels.
Delete hidden part. Deletes any voxels you have hidden.
Separate hidden part. This will create a new layer in the vox tree and place the previously hidden voxels into the newly created layer.
Cast shadows. This option allows for shadow casting based on the global light inside the viewport. It is purely aesthetic.
Show info. This no longer functions, as all of the information this displayed is now along the bottom bar of the application.

Incremental render. Having this option on, will only render parts of the object that have change since your last render, giving a large boost in performance. This option is turn off when shadows are turned on, as shadows are dynamic and change the look of the object for rendering.
Highlight. This is a toggle for highlighting, if turned on your currently selected object layer will be highlighted a different color. When turn off, there will be no visible change.
Accurate smoothing. This provides more accurate smoothing at the cost of performance.
Grow on pen motion. When this is enable, only relevant operations are performed unless the pen is in motion.
