    Hi @Carlosan, I'm thinking of fairly high-poly sculpts. Triangular polygons are OK, no quad retopo would be necessary. Just spontaneous sculpting in voxels, then quick and easy automatic UV mapping to get it into the Paint room. Thanks, Metin

    Hi, Sorry for all my questions, but I'm still exploring 3D Coat, and loving it. I was wondering: If you take a voxel object straight from the Sculpt room to the Paint room, you'll be painting with vertex colors. What's the best / easiest way to convert a sculpted voxel object to an automatically UV-mapped mesh that's ready for UV painting in the Paint room? I assume the key room for this is the Retopo room, but what steps should I take if I want the voxel object to be meshed and get UVs in stead of going through retopology? Many thanks, Metin

    Thanks again, @Carlosan!

    Hi, I'm discovering the Import tool to quickly create copies of an object on the surface of an other object, but somehow I managed to get a constant distance from the main object, and I can't get rid of the distance. I've tried the Shift option, but that doesn't help enough. How can I solve this? I've included a screenshot. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Many thanks for your suggestions, Chipp and Fluffy, much appreciated. I'll check out the course and the bitmap conversion method. Looking good.

    Sorry, my bad, I just discovered you have to click once on a curve point to activate the transform gizmo, then you can translate the entire curve. Newbie struggles.

    Thanks Chipp, I'll use that workaround, no problem. One more thing: the Transform Curve option doesn't seem to work here (I'm using 3D Coat beta 4.8.03 for Mac OS). If I check it, I'm still transforming individual points in stead of the entire curve. This goes for all curve-based tools (Curves tool, Text tool, etc.). Edit — Sorry, my bad, you have to click once on a curve point to activate the transform gizmo, then you can translate the entire curve. Newbie struggles.

    Hi Chipp, Nice to see you here as well. Thanks for your reply. I've tried different fonts, ranging from Times New Roman to Impact. They're all vector fonts, so you'd expect them to translate smoothly to a high-resolution voxel layer.

    Thanks @Carlosan. I've tried Surface mode as well, but no matter how high the layer's resolution is, the actual text that's created retains a limited resolution, like a low-res voxel extrusion, resulting in jagged edges. See the attached screenshot.

    Hi, How can you achieve smooth curvature in the Text tool result (voxels or surface) ? If you hit Apply in a layer with more than a million polygons, the text contours remain visibly jagged, like in a low-res voxel resolution. Thanks, Metin

    Great sculpt and atmosphere. What renderer did you use?

    Great character! After using 3D Coat for the base sculpt, what other tools did you use?

    Great! I love the natural clay sculpt look.

    Cool work! Love the moody colored lighting.

    Looking forward to having a go at ProRender, but the Mac version will be available in December at the soonest. Odd, because Macs have only AMD Radeon videocards since several years.

    Great! Thanks, @Carlosan!

    Hi, I was wondering if the following workflow is possible: 1: Sculpt a model using voxels and/or surface tools. 2: Use Autopo to give a nice quad topology to the mesh. 3: From the Retopo room, send the retopo object back to the Sculpt room, so you can sculpt on the retopologized mesh. I guess a workaround is to export the retopo mesh and import it into the Sculpt room, but I hope that isn't necessary. Thanks, Metin

    Hi, I've recently bought 3D Coat, and I'm exploring this wonderful 3D tool. Coming from ZBrush, I miss a mask / selection option among the voxel tools, but discovered that the Pose tool is quite a competent alternative. I'm wondering now — Is there an option to inflate a Pose tool selection? That'd be very useful to expand areas along their normals. Thanks, Metin

    Thanks @Carlosan, very interesting video! I'm going to experiment with this. 3D Coat is amazing. I love the freedom of voxel sculpting, and the versatility of the tools and strokes, to name just a few of the many highlights.

    Hi, I've got beta 4.8.03 installed, and encountered some odd behaviour, but as I'm a 3D Coat newbie I don't know if this is related to the beta or not. My apologies if it's not. The issue is that when using the Constructor tool, the Smart Placement option doesn't work most of the time. It only seems to work in corners that have three surrounding sides. Some info: I'm using MacOS (High Sierra), graphics card = NVidia GeForce 780M with the latest NVidia Web drivers, and I've got some customized viewport controls (RMB = Orbit, Ctrl + RMB = Zoom, Alt + RMB = Pan). Thanks, Metin

    Hi, I wanted to add to this to the Feature Requests section, but somehow that section is inactive when I want to choose it from the section list for a new topic. But maybe the function is already there, so I thought to ask it here: Is there a 'repeat last stroke / action' function in 3D Coat? I use it a lot in ZBrush: creating one stroke and repeating it a few times to accumulate strokes along the exact same trajectory. Thanks in advance, Metin
  22. Metin Seven
    You're welcome, Kaa. Glad the info was useful to you too. Have a nice weekend, Metin

    Ah, I found out how to do it. In Camera ➔ Customize Navigation, you don't type in the shortcut in the entry field (like typing "ALT+RMB", which I previously did), but you first click the Assign button, then perform the shortcut. It's also advisable to remove any double shortcut entries in the Customize Navigation list, because they can interfere with each other.

    Hi, I'm very new to 3D Coat, and the first things I'd like to adjust to make my workspace more familiar are the viewport navigation controls. I'm very used to ZBrush's right-click viewport navigation controls: RMB = Orbit Control + RMB = Zoom Alt + RMB = Pan When I use the ZBrush-like navigation preset, the above-mentioned controls don't work. I've tried to customize the controls, but entering the above-mentioned controls doesn't seem to work. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Any help would be much appreciated, many thanks in advance. Regards from the Netherlands, Metin

    I thought so too! Nice to see you here as well, Frenchy!
