Hi Just got back into 3DCoat after some time away. Version 3 was my last version so I have now upgraded to the latest version. I am really impressed with the amazing growth 3DC has achieved. Hats off to Andrew and your entire team. I would like to purchase some materials for 3DC. My question is can I use Substance materials in 3DCoat? Cheerio lululee

Hi Carlosan, Thanks so much for your swift reply. Cheerio lululee

Hi, I've been away from 3DCoat for some time. I have Version 3 installed on 1 of my computers. I am upgrading to V4. I want to V4 put on a different computer. Do I have to remove version 3 from the other computer before I install V4 or can I have V3 on 1 computer and V4 on another. Thanks for your help. Cheerio lululee

Hi, Coat version 35.19A I am having problems with move vertices in retopo. It works for awhile (around 10 minutes) then i can't move any vertices. If I reset the preferences to default they work for another 10 minutes. Any advice is appreciated. cheeiro lululee

Thanks so much for your speedy replies. I have set it to 0.10 which is better but still fast. It is an improvement and I will practice to move slower but it would be a MAJOR help to have more control. thanks again for your help. cheerio lululee

Hi, I am having trouble getting the camera zoom, rotate etc to slow down. I find it is really difficult to control I have recently purchased a Wacom tablet and it is even more unruly with the camera controls. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. cheerio lululee

Thanks Andrew. 3D Coat rocks. cheerio lululee

Hi celmar, Fugazi3d has some very good newbie tutorials on his YouTube site. they are very informative. hope these help you. cheerio lululee http://www.youtube.com/user/Fugazi3D#play/.../16/QZlirrE48e4

Hi Andrew, Thank you for addressing the tutorial problem. I would be so grateful for the "Getting Started with 3D-Coat" to be updated to video. I believe it is a terrific tutorial for going through all of the basic steps and would save hours of work trying to figure out how 3DC works. 3D-Coat is one of the best and most innovative programs I have ever used. I am very pleased with it and I am trying to learn it as fast as I can. cheerio lululee

Good advice, artman, I will do that. cheerio lululee

Hi, I am trying to learn 3d coat but i find the tutorials very confusing since the interface on most of them is from the V2 version. For instance, the basic 3d helmet tutorial, which is incredibly important for a newbie to figure out 3Dc is a nightmare to work with. Freeze; Freeze what? Where is the fill tool? I have just spent an hour trying to get through the first few steps of the only basic paint tutorial I can find and the interface is so different I am totally stuck. I purchased 3DC when it first came out but gave up on it because the tutorials were so confusing. I purchased ZBrush knowing at least the tutorials are clear. Newbie's needs some good, basic start to finish on the basics. I purchased the upgrade to 3DC because the retopology video at geeks at play and a video Fugazi1968 posted was clear enough that I could understand the workflow. I am looking for a clear, simple tutorial that shows me the workflow in V3 of painting a low res imported obj file with color, textures, depth, bump and specularity and exporting those textures. I am also looking for a clear, simple tutorial that shows me the workflow in V3 of importing an obj file into the voxel room and either adding voxels to it or using the obj file to create voxels on top of. If anyone has links to these tutorials I would greatly appreciate them. I am very hopeful that these newbie tutorials will become available soon. 3DC is amazing software and I have believed in Andrew since I first purchased the software. In today's market it is not only about the software that makes it successful, it is about the ability to get clear concise training that gets you up and running quickly. Right now there are is a special sale price and V3 is new so there are a lot of people purchasing and downloading the demos. A good buzz. People will pay the sale price for a just a good 3d paint program. The quicker people can learn to actually work with this software the more your sales will increase. Just my humble opinion. I would like to add that 3DC is an amazing software creation. I would recommend it. the retopology tool alone is worth the purchase price. cheerio lululee

Hi, Thanks so much for all of your help. I got them to play using the DivX player. philnolan3d, I appreciate the excellent advice about the quicktime. Because of it I did get Quicktime to play. cheerio lululee

Hi, I am on windows 64 bit Pro. I cannot get any of the videos to play. any advice would be appreciated. cheerio lululee

Here's what happens when I do that. i really want to learn to work with this software. I know it is really good and you have done a wonderful job developing it. Maybe if I explain what I am trying to do you can help me with the sequence. I am importing a Poser face of V4 She is already UV mapped I have a very basic face texture already made I want to put that face texture on her in 3D Brush Next i want to add details like eyeshadow, lips. rouge in 3D Brush . Can you tell me the sequence to do that. cheerio lululee

Hi, I am a complete newbie to 3D Brush and painting in 3D. I am very confused about the sequence to load a texture. 1) I want to put a bitmap image on a head. 2) I load the 3d object just fine. 3) Go to materials and load the texture. It shows up in the material window but not on the head. No matter what I do I can't get it to go onto the geometry. 4) I have watched your videos repeatedly but the interface is not even the same as mine on the 'Draw using photo" Could you give me the correct sequence to do this. Do I need to add a layer? cheerio lululee

Thanks so much for the great update. I am a little late, but i wish you a blessed New Year. cheerio lululee

Thanks so much, pilgrim. i will do that. cheerio lululee

Hi, I purchased 3D Brush but have not had a lot of time to work with it. Now that I have some time, are there any tutorials available. cheerio lululee

Although I am very new to the learning curve with 3d Brush I can see it's value. I am very glad I purchased it and I wish you the very best of luck with your wonderful new product. cheerio lululee
