[SMART MATERIAL PROCEDURAL]

Ok, many thanks for your explanation!

[SMART MATERIAL PROCEDURAL]

Maybe I wasn't clearly enough: If I would buy your materials, for example the weathering ones: Can I use these materials and export them to Thea?

FOR THEA RENDER

 

Pipeline 1

 

Basic workflow : 

 

 

Albedo translates  in colour 

 

AO translates  in highlights with intensity tweaks regarding your light setup 

Roughness translates in shininess 

Metalness translates in reflection again you need to  tweak   Fresnel and refraction 

 

Pipeline 2

 

 

Substance Thea Converter

 

https://www.thearender.com/site/index.php/features/substance-to-thea-material-converter.html

 

 

Unique Features

By taking advantage of the Substance Engine, changes to the Substance files can be made inside the converter. The results can be applied automatically to a Thea material which the user can preview under different settings. Physically-based materials designed with the Metallic/Roughness template are automatically converted to their equivalent in the Thea material system. Additionally, the user can create his/her own combinations although the result is not guaranteed to be physically accurate. Batch conversion of Metallic/Roughness Substance files to Thea materials or to a Thea material pack is also supported.

 

Sorry I'm totally new to this with 3D Coat and PBR-Materials. I use C4D and Thearender. Does this mean that I model my house in my CAD, load it in 3DCoat, unwrap and paint it and make materials for what I want and then translate these 3D-Coat-materials to Thearender and can use all informations of it? If you're new to that it is like a big mountain to climb...

[Quixel Suite 2.0 - 3D painting]

Today is the last day to get a discount. Do I need Quixel for Architecture visualizations when I have 3DCoat?

[Fragen und geplante Tutorials]

Das ist meine Natur die mich manchmal etwas ungeduldig werden läßt. Danke noch einmal, schaue ich mir heute Abend an. Schönen Sonntag noch, Ansgar.

[Fragen und geplante Tutorials]

Hallo Ansgar,

 

das kommt für mich nun absolut passend. Ich habe 3D Coat schon ewig aber noch nie richtig benutzt und suche nur nach einem Vorwand nun endlich richtig auszuprobieren.

Schön wäre es noch gewesen, wenn Du das in einer höheren Auflösung eingestellt hättest. Mit 360p macht das nicht so richtig Spaß anzuschauen.

Deine Stimme ist dann deutlich schärfer als das Bild, wenn Du verstehst was ich meine...

 

Vielen Dank!

[Which 3D Package, Cinema 4D or Lightwave 3D?]

The main thing for me is, how I feel with a software. I'm with C4D since years. I was angry because they dropped their policy of modules. Then I tried Modo and Blender, made video tutorials.

And now I'm back to C4D because there I feel comfortable.

Modo and Blender are for sure great products and Blender even for free, but it's not the software for me.

So try the programs as demo. Make some tutorials and maybe a small project. Then decide.

C4D is rock solid and all major render engines are there as plugin.

Hey, that's really great. I expected to hear a greek accent of you, but you speak like a native english speaker.

A BIG "thank you" for your video tutorial.

Even it's a bit hard to follow because of the low resolution of the video.

I will try tomorrow night. Now it's time for bed.

[Cycles new blender internal rendering engine]

Super, thank you michalis. I'll give it a try.

[Cycles new blender internal rendering engine]

Thank you michalis, but your link for the tut is broken for me.

@michalis

Do you know a good video tutorial to work with nodes in blender?

Is there anywhere a list which rendering features are supported now and which will be implemented in future?

Here is a render of a user called calli. Posted in the german forum blendpolis.de

[Cycles new blender internal rendering engine]

I tried cycles only to see if it works for me. It works with my Notebook only using the CPU. And that's really fast. But I haven't run tests because I'm an absolute beginner with blender.

[second attempt in 3dc]

That would be very nice with a tutorial michalis, because it's all new to me with UV-Map, normal - and displacement map and so on. Like a new language for me!

[Interface discussion]

I like it also very much. Looks very professional. I hope all menus are movable, so I can use both monitors. My own layout should be savable.

[3D-Coat 3.0 ALPHA]

For me the quadrangulation is very useful, because I never have made an animation. I only make stills...

Strange head.

I only sculpted without having something in mind.

Base mesh made in CB Model Pro Beta (free at the moment), than tried several brushes. I love the VOX PINCH!

I think (but I don't know it) that they have copyright...

[Taros doodles]

Ok, it's addiction...

2 1/2 hours doodling around. No reference.

Main tools: Extrude, Scrape, Carve and Smooth.

Have fun.

I have fun with your sculpts. Very nice!

I also can't resist from sculpting instead of sleeping - 3D Coat is unhealthy!!! :-)

[tildees sketches]

I have a friend with energy like a bull. That inspired me to this picture.

Little 2,5 D sketch. Reference photo on the other monitor. (I searched in google for "torero")

Then "painted" away. Mostly with 2D Brush, a little with airbrush, Vox follow and at the end with clay

FUN!

[3d relief work]

I did a quick test, first generate this displacement map using shadermap pro, then used it as brush shape to extrude voxel in 3DC, plus some hand painted modification.

The result mesh is about 840k triangles.

That looks really nice!

[3D-Coat 3.0 ALPHA]

What I do not understand: You can show a "skin" over the voxels, so that I don't see the cubes but a surface. What is this skin? Why it isn't possible to take this skin and paint over it? Why is it so complicated with need to retopologize or to convert it into something different? It is clear, that if this would be a possibility, than it would have been integrated since the beginning. But I don't understand what this "skin" is. Do you have a short explanation for me, please?

[tildees sketches]

Sweet!!!!!!!

I like it a lot...

Thanks!

3D Coat encourages me to have many new ideas what I want to sculpt - my creativity is reborn!

[tildees sketches]

Should be cool to see differents POV's, skin texture is great!

Thanks Eric for your reply. At the moment I have to work very much and I have very little spare time- I'm only a hobbyist which loves to make some grafics...

So only a another POV without a progress of my froggy thing.

[3dioot's sketchbook]

Fruits of yesterday's labor. Little nose study. I found it quite hard to make a nose without the rest of the face around it. Will do better next time (hopefully). Here is a great site to learn anatomy.

Thank you for that link - very useful!
