Missing top menu in Textura 2026.12 ? This happens if we install version 2026 using the previous folders from version 2025. You need to do a fresh install, deleting all the contents in \Program Files and \Documents\3DCoatTextura, to get Menus visible.

Exported meshes as .obj files from Blender to 3DCoat for UV mapping all of the edges had been marked as sharp. There is a way to avoid this from happening in the Blender export .obj options. All you have to do is untick the “normals” option under the Geometry settings.

Freeze/Pose Opacity is only a freezing visualization parameter, it just makes the appearance denser or more transparent, but does not affect the freezing strength of the current stroke.

You can use the Shift key to select multiple alphas for the brush to use one at a time. You will need to manually select each alpha from the Brushes Panel to do multi-alpha painting. The order in which you shift+select them matters.
