  1. I have GREAT NEWS for you! YESSSS! In the next version of 3DCoat, this problem of dark preview in alphas - brush tips of the brushes palette will be FIXED!!! So, in the next version of 3DCoat, the preview color will be normalized, that means we'll have a great preview of the alphas inside the brushes palette! In the image below, as you can see, this is exactly how the alphas will be presented in the fixed version of 3dcoat. What do you think? Is not it pretty? One more thing... It is important to say that no one will need to install the brush pack again! Just update 3dcoat (which will have this fix) and the program will regenerate the previews automatically. Perfect!
  2. I have no words to thank all your words. Thank you very much, from the heart! Your encouragement really makes a big difference! Always enrich the subjects with your opinions, suggestions and ideas! Soon, I hope to be able to announce amazing things and one of those things, and I can't hide it from anyone, because it's something that makes me extremely happy just thinking about it... is that I'm going to start making videos about "making of sculptures from characters" aimed at 3d printing. I have other things in mind... but I'm still maturing the ideas. Thank you very much
  3. Really grateful for your words. I'm really glad I could help in some way... Immediately, I'll let everyone know about this "problem". If you don't mind, I'll practically make your words mine for the warning. That way, users won't think they've done something wrong during the package installation process. Just the lack of alphas preview in the brushes palette. Once again... Thank you very much!
  4. Don, I would like to share and show how my brushes palette looks. And as you can see the preview of alphas (brush tips) is like this.
  5. Hi @Allabulle This visualization in the brushes palette I think is not something that I can configure... because of the process of converting an external format to an internal format of 3dcoat, so the preview is created automatically by 3dcoat. But, I'll see what I can do about it to help.
  6. Hi Don, thanks for the explanation! Regarding alphas in 3dcoat, I agree with you! It is very difficult to visualize the alphas in the brushes palette. Every time I create an alpha and open it in the Brushes palette... unfortunately the preview becomes dark to the point where you can't visually identify what kind of "texture" it is, other than the alpha name that appears when you place the mouse over it. I would like the alpha preview in 3dcoat to be large when you hover over it to avoid this kind of problem. Honestly, I don't really know why this kind of thing happens in 3dcoat. The only thing that goes through my head to try to explain this... Maybe it's when alpha is imported into 3dcoat, then the program automatically converts a type of external format (png, tif, etc.) to its own format extension used within 3dcoat. I noticed that this file conversion generates a dark or "washed out" preview of the alpha in the brushes palette. I think the program could make the visualization of the alphas in the palette clearer, but that doesn't happen. One thing I can guarantee you and that is the most important thing. The alphas work correctly and it was exactly these alphas that I used to fully detail all the rhinos, both the adult rhino and the baby rhino and I got great quality. Nothing is being hidden. I'm passing on exactly what I have here to everyone. In case the result of some alpha is "weak" when applied to the surface of the geometry, please try to increase the depth value of the brush so that you get a "stronger" result of the alpha in the geometry. Please also check the amount of triangles as this also affects the quality and the way the detail appears on the surface of the mesh. I already tested it and noticed that if you try to create a stronger alpha in the external program, it may happen that the result of this alpha quality when applied inside 3dcoat is not so good. You could try editing the alphas using the Edit in Ext Editor or Edit as 16-Bit Tif command, but I don't advise using these commands because it's not very intuitive and if you don't know what you're doing you can destroy the alpha. Another important thing to say is that I think these commands are more compatible if you use photoshop. Particularly, I never got a good result with these commands. Since it's been a while since I created these alphas to detail the rhinos... I'll see what I can do about all of that. I am very worried! I wouldn't want to share something with bad quality or problems... In case, all of you want or suggest I can immediately remove this product... so that there are no problems.
  7. I am a little confusing about Gumroad. So it is working properly the sending of emails to users who downloaded the product before changes! Sometimes it is necessary to correct / change something in the product and I was concerned about how to warn these changes to people who have already downloaded the product. Don, thank you so much for letting me know.
  8. Really, I will better understand how Gumroad works. I thought people downloading the product would receive some email warning about any changes to the product downloaded by the user. Thank you very much!
  9. @Allabulle Thank you very much for answering me! I thought that any changes made to the gumroad product, users who had already downloaded the product would receive some notification or warning about a possible change and thus be able to re-download the changed files. Anyway, I've already made the instructions available so that users who don't have much knowledge in installing 3DCoat .3dcpak packages can do this process easily. As well, on the main page of the website rygaardcreations.com the notice and download of this brush is more evident so that people know. Thanks!
  10. Hi everyone, Could someone please let me know if Gumroad sent an email to whoever downloaded the brush, letting everyone know that there was a new change in the brush file made available? I've added more information and an important note about the installation process for the free 3DCoat brush pack in the new readme file. Just helping people with that. Warning: The .3dcpack file has NOT been changed, just added information. Thank you very much!
  11. Thanks Don! You are very welcome indeed! I am very grateful for your words! I hope this brush can help people in some way!
  12. Hi @Allabulle ! Thank you so much for warning me all this! I agree with you! I just posted here at the 3Dcoat Forum the Brush link to be downloaded from rygaardcreations.com. It is true! I have to fix the lack of information from Brush that was made available on the rygaardcreations.com website I had no registration at Gumroad. Therefore, unfortunately, the hurry to make the brush available soon for everyone to download, I completely forgot to add the installation instructions. I will also fix this so I can help people during the installation process. Thank you once again for your words and encouragement!
  13. Hey everyone! I would like to share a free 3DCoat brush... This custom brush was created and used during the process of detailing the rhinos projects for the new brush engine implemented in 3DCoat. - Rygaard Apply Details (Free 3DCoat brush) + with 68 brush tips Skin Pack (alphas / textures). Please, access the link below to download the brush (.3dcpack): https://rygaardcreations.com/rygaard-apply-details-with-68-brush-tips-skinpack/ I hope you like!!! Thank you!
  14. Hi everyone, from now on the free 3DCoat course will get more and more advanced. Many interesting things will be taught. Don't forget to subscribe! It will be a pleasure to see you all there! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9OKFOOes9bNZrwMgQb62Qg Thank you so much!
  15. Hi @Gorbatovsky , I don't know if this could help you, but I'm sending a poor PDF that I created a long time ago about just the mesh structures and at the same time making some suggestions. I think a quad mesh could be very welcome and would be very important for Sculpt Room (Workflow) within 3Dcoat. Most people will answer you that the quad mesh would be more animated (which is true), but for workflow and sculptures within 3Dcoat would be very advantageous to have this option. I've done several tests between triangular meshes and quads to really know if there is something concrete that could indicate that one type of mesh is better or not than the other type of mesh. Therefore, I could see that in these tests the sculptures in the mesh on the quad became superior (not to mention the thin detail that can be done and obtained) than the sculptures with the mesh in triangles. Even knowing that sometimes in the quad mesh structure may have some problems according to the topology that may be "stressed". However, triangles mesh structures also have problems. So, I think no mesh structure is completely perfect. The user, according to the preference, could choose the mesh according to the used workflow that would give the most great results. Just to note that a quad mesh brush is more "organic" because of the softness in the Calculated Mesh made through Catmull Clark. In my sincere and humble opinion, I would be in favor of having quad mesh structures and also tris within the 3dcoat. Which would enable techniques (even using UVs) and different workflows within 3Dcoat. And with that, it would come up with great opportunities ... Who knows ... the full unification of the mesh could occur (a single mesh or geometry used) in all Rooms within 3Dcoat. But I'm aware that this would be very complex to be done because of the structure of how 3Dcoat works. Anyway, I would love to see a workflow using quad mesh inside the 3dcoat. For sure, I would sculpted a lot in Mesh Quads, that would be fantastic. 3dcoat mesh structure.pdf

  22. Hi everyone! I already posted the second video of the course! Gradually, the difficulty of the course increases. The initial chapters are aimed at all people to be on the same level (I worried about people who have never used 3DCoat before). But over time, things will be very interesting!!! Hey @Allabulle Thank you so much for warning me about these mistakes. Really, the hurry made me make mistakes in some things that went unnoticed by me on the website. I fixed both of the menu! If you can, see if everything is right ... the effect of the line on the menu, now is under the link. I thought it was below! My mistake! I would like to ask everyone that if possible, if you see something strange, please let me know so I can try to fix if this is within my reach. Thank you very much!
  23. I am preparing all the material for the release of the second video of the course for tomorrow. I plan to release new video on youtube every tuesday and thursday. By the way, Discord looks great! Lots of possibilities, no? I will learn more about it and see the possibility of creating a space. Thanks for that great suggestion!
  24. Do you know what is most interesting? A long time ago, I had already thought of Discord (I even put it on my to-do list), but honestly I never used it. I have to inform me more about Discord. I ended up prioritizing other things. But for sure I'll look at Discord! By the way, it seems to be very useful! Thanks for your suggestion and for remembering this. I hope you enjoy it! And as always, any comment / suggestion will be very welcome! Thank you very much!
