3D Coat 3.5 Photo Painting I-Paint an Elephant Using Photos http://www.learn3dsoftware.com/3dc_35_lightwave_users_photo_paint_1.htm In this tutorial 3D Coat Instructor Adam Gibson demonstrates the powerful photo painting tool-set inside of 3D Coat. Sometimes in order to create the most photo-realistic and life-like looking characters you need to use real photos of animals/creatures to create the illusion. Also this can be a huge time saver as trying to paint a texture from scratch can be very tedious, time-consuming, and require great skill. Learning how to use the photo-painting tool can save hours and hours of texturing work and speed up your work-flow. So if you are looking for a quick way to texture your creatures and animals this is the training course for you.

3D Coat 3.5 for Lightwave Users-Auto-Retopology-by Adam Gibson http://www.learn3dsoftware.com/3dc_35_lightwave_users_auto_retopology.htm In this videos series we show 3D students how to use 3D Coat and Lightwave 3D together as an easy and functional workflow and pipeline in your 3D projects. Although this video series uses Lightwave 3D as the final output for your 3D Coat work, the concepts and principles used here will work with all the most popular 3D programs like 3D Max, Maya, Softimage, Modo, Cinema 4D and many others. In this volume on the new Autoretopology tool in 3D Coat 3.5 basic and advanced uses of the Auto-Retopology tool are demonstrated in great depth. Workflow application and pipeline use are shown with regards to how to combine Lightwave's Modeler tools with 3D Coat's standard retopology tool set to correct Auto-Retopology glitches, gotchas, errors and limitations. With the methods included in this video you will learn how create clean retopologized meshes for use in Lightwave or other 3D packages. The video starts off with how to use the Auto-Retopology tool and then finishes with a full hands on project on a rhinoceros model/mesh that needs to be retopologized and exported to Lightwave 3D.

Hi Andrew, I'm running 3D Coat on a Pentium 4 , 3.0 Ghz Processor (Single Processor-Not Duo-Core), with 2.0 Gig of Ram, and a Geoforce FX 5600XT-256 MB Video Card. And I have a 450 Watt Power supply. I did visit the computer store and they said my current motherboard is top of the line and would be handle most of the PCI-E cards out there unless they require more than 450 WATT Power Supply. He did ask what cards you would recommended specifically for your software and he would find me one that would work best with my current system. I'm kinda on a budget or I would buy the top of the line DUO-CORE technology..........but every other piece of software I have runs very smooth on my PENTIUM IV -3.0 GHZ Processor. So realistically to buy a new system just for one piece of software doesn't make much sense. When I start getting into High DEF VIDEO Editing.......I will be forced into buying a new system because the old systems can't do HD Editing apparently. I did notice that when I used the hide polygon feature 3D-Coat ran much smoother..........so I'm assuming a better card and maybe some faster chip-ram would help out. Hope to hear back, Adam Gibson

Thanks, For responding Andrew. I was looking to spend $100 to $200, but if more expensive card will make my computer really shine (esecially for painting in 3D Coat and MODO, and even for other applications it might be worth it. I use Adobe Premiere and After Effects as well. I'm assuming video playback/previewing would be enhanced? Thanks, Adam Gibson

Hi Andrew, I'm running 3D Coat on a Pentium 4 , 3.0 Ghz Processor (Single Processor-Not Duo-Core), with 2.0 Gig of Ram, and a Geoforce FX 5600XT-256 MB Video Card. I feel that maybe I need a better video card to run your software, It feels slightly sluggish when I'm using drawing and using the pen tool to paint and sculpt. I notice when I hide some polygons it seems to speed up and move much smoother. I just found out I can't add anymore RAM to my computer. It's MAX is 2.0 Gig......and I already have 2 Gigs. When I run all my other 3D/2D Applications like Lightwave Photoshop and VUE........it runs very smooth. I did notice while Painting in MODO it moves similiar to 3D Coat.....just a slight delay when painting. Could you recommend a Video Card that might work well with my system? I wanted to bump it up to 512 MB Card but there are so many to choose from. I just want to get 3D Coat running smooth and hopefully not pay a fortune in the process.....lol...... Thanks Andrew, Hope to hear back from you soon, Adam Gibson (Phantom-Vision 3D, Bowmanville, Ontario, Canada)
