Pure wizardry! My appreciation of 3D-Coat improves the more I watch. What an amazing application.

Nice work! I'm also curious about the microvertext painting workflow for this.

For sure!

Can't thank you enough for doing these AbnRanger. They are an excellent resource and very well done.

Thanks Ilia! Your AppLink makes going back and forth between modo/3D-Coat a breeze.

Cool! 3D Coat just keep getting better all the time.

I was having some weird issues with 3D-COAT 4.00.BETA11. I uninstalled it and deleted the "3D-CoatV4" folder in the Document folder. After reinstalling things seem to be working normally again. A couple of the problems I was having before reinstalling: Imported mesh for voxelizing was messed up. Flat normal maps when running "Merge with NM (per-pixel)" from Retopo room.

Nice job Leigh! enjoying your training.

Hi LJB, I clipped the following from your homepage. Is this still in the works and is Pure Retopology in 3D-Coat a part of this series? Anouncing 3 New Training Titles in Production With the imminent release of 3D-Coat v4 we are working on 3 new project based workshops, where we will show you how to get the most from the software. 3D-Coat Fundamental Skills & Concepts We will look at Gui, Navigation and the fundimental concepts that make 3D-coat stand out from the crowd when it comes to Sculpting and retopology. 3D-Coat Intermediate Skills We take a Project based look at some of the finer aspects and produce two high quality assets. 3D-Coat Advanced Skills We will look at producing a AAA standard character Start to finish using advanced techniques, giving you all the skills you will need for a one stop Asset creation pipeline. I will Update these pages as we have images and Introductions so keep checking back. -Leigh

I purchased, but won't have to time to watch until later. Hopefully this weekend. Looking forward to it!

Cool! Thanks Leigh

These look really good! Do you show how to merge the retopo mesh to the paint room in this series?

carcass mesh begs for pelt mapping

cool image anyway

The Maya presentation for Understanding Voxel Sculpting worked great.

Hi Andrew, The voxel extrude on your twitter looks really cool! another

If you are upgrading to Windows 8 be careful. I bought the cheap upgrade and installed on a Vista Ultimate 64 machine. Even though I chose upgrade it did a fresh Windows 8 install and moved my programs that were installed under Vista into a backup folder. All the programs had to be reinstalled. Never could get my Adobe Web Standard CS3 to reinstall (a problem with the Pro version of flash). I've had Windows 8 for a couple months. I don't use any of the interface designed for tablets and have found ways to mostly bypass it (Alt F4 brings up a shutdown dialog when using the desktop). The biggest change to the desktop is the lack of the Start button that gives you access to all the links created when you install a program. The program links are created on the tablet menu. Some of the links that are created when installing on previous versions of Windows are not created on the tablet inteface (like help file links). The only benefit over Windows 7 I'm aware of is built in support for USB 3. Oh yea, there are some weird things with networking. One of the problems I have is trouble connecting to drives on a remote computer with wireless setup. My Windows 7 machine connects without a hitch. I would put the Windows 8 release on par with the Windows Vista release. Both Windows XP and Windows 7 were solid no frills releases that I still like to use.

No problems with Windows 7. I built a new machine with Window 8. It is like windows 7 with some some iphone/ipad/tablet stuff thrown in. It looks like they are trying to cover two different scenarios with one OS. I personalty don't like the tablet stuff thrown in with my desktop workstation setup.

Downloading the latest Intro to 3D Coat videos, Voxel Sculpt. Thanks AbnRanger

Man that is cool! Excellent tool.

Cool Looking forward to it!

What Liveclay manual?

The new E-mode - spine stroke mode is incredible!!! Thank you Andrew

That would be great! nics sculpt by the way. Andrew, An E mode where you may create stroke by spline would be awesome!

AbnRanger, I see there have been some recent additions to ... downloading now!Thanks, Bill
