Non-destructive texturing gives us much more control over the entire texturing process, we can return to any element like color or any material property such as gloss, metaleness, and so on and adjust […]

Sometimes there is a confusion comparing a Shader Nodes system with a Material Nodes (and Textures) system. To work with Texturing Node system on 3DCoat follow this steps: – Create a Paint Layer, add or create a Material (double click over the material icon) Here is a set of materials based on the nodes that […]

Question: I want to create geometry only with displacement to be manufactured with a CNC machine based on a low poly object imported on Paint Room. Answer: Once you create apply get a Smart Material to be applied to the mesh on Paint Room > PPP Use this command to convert the normal map to […]

In 3D baking, the option to “normalize TB” (Tangent Basis) refers to a process where the tangent and bitangent (or binormal) vectors, which form the local coordinate system (tangent space) of a 3D model, are …

3DCoat version 2024.22 and above add a new option “Edit->Prefs->Tools->Don’t group vertices per objects in OBJ files (like ZB)” for better compatibility when you need to keep the vertex order …
