Why has this not been updated? Now that I am abandoning Substance Painter(because of the Adobe acquisition) I need this to work more than ever. Having a live link from creating in 3D coat and rendering in Unity is super important to me. Any ideas on how we can revive this?

Just for my own sanity, is it safe to assume there will be no mac build of 4.5 beta, and to just expect it when the final release of 4.5 comes out? I mean the beta iteration is so rapid, it seems like the dev in charge of the mac build is just waiting for final release?

Can I take your programmer out to dinner or something to light a fire under him?

Heya! I noticed that the GL shaders are finished. Any chance we can get a Mac build soon?

Awesome! *anxiously awaits Mac build

That is VERY helpful thank you.

Thanks for the quick reply Javis! That makes alot of sense. What are the advantages of creating multiple UV tiles for your mesh within the same UV map? Ive always just used seperate maps if needed.

Where is a good source for me to understand what these UDIM things are? I know it has to do with UV tiles, would just like a proper explanation of why they are useful and why I should adopt them into my workflow

AWESOME!!!! Very much looking forward to teaching 4.5 in my classroom- Anyway for me to get a notification when its available? Or should I just keep checking this thread?

When can we expect the Mac version of 4.5? I use both PC and Mac personally, but when I teach 3D-Coat in my high school classroom its all iMac's. I was hoping to get 4.5 installed on all the machines in my lab before we return from winter break. *fingers crossed

Is it true that Artman's presets are now included with latest build of 3D coat? Also- does anyone have a big set of brushes and masks they would be willing to share? I see some in official 3D coat tutorials would be nice to have a lot more.

Your welcome! I hope to expand upon this much further as an overview of the processes in my classroom. I will post updates to it here once I do.

Not sure if this is entirely relevant but thought some people might be interested in seeing it. I made a quick workflow chart for total noobs showing a basic workflow of the 3D designer. I know there are of course a billion other workflows- but this is the basic core of it. I would of course like any feedback or ways I could improve it as I will be printing out my final version and posting it on my wall in my classroom ( I will begin teaching 3D coat, along with Cinema 4D + Unity next year). 3DDesignProcessForAnimationVGDWImages.pdf https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3697270/3dcoat/3DDesignProcessForAnimationVGDWImages.pdf

My name is Mattheiu Brooks, I live in Lewisville(close to Dallas), Texas USA. I'm 35 yrs old and I teach Animation and Video Game Design to high-school students! Check out the website for my classes here: http://brooksamat.com I am very new to 3D coat. I was actually interested in 3D-Coat for the UV mapping features initially but have since realized how capable it is for modeling and texturing and retopology as well..- I have been teaching Cinema 4D and Sculptris but I have made the decision to focus my curriculum more towards 3D-coat whenever possible instead of Cinema 4D and/or Sculptris. I'm very excited to learn as much as I can about this amazing software before the school year starts. Having children(2) has definitely made it MUCH harder to do anything else except care for them and my wife-including learn 3D-coat proper enough to teach it. But I must and I will... I also work as a camera man for the Television show Cheaters.. Any free time that I happen to get I like to make animations, video games and do live video mixing. Check it out here: http://vjanomolee.com This forum seems very active and positive from what I have read so far. Look forward to learning more and creating amazing things with 3D-COAT!!! -Matt
