  1. Hey guys and gals, is there any source for quality textures( preferably seamless) or smart materials for texturing creatures, monsters, etc.? Something like skin, flesh and other creepy stuff. There is quite a lot of stuff for Substance Painter in spsm format, but nothing for 3dcoat. Maybe there is a way to extract textures from spsm package or export from Substance?
  2. Ok, so I've decided to show some of the stuff I've made with 3DCoat. There is some work done in Photoshop( LUTs, gradients, adjustments), but overall it's all made inside 3DCoat - sculpted, painted and rendered. No retopo, no UV's just a high poly with custom shaders and smart materials.
  3. My copy of 3D Coat has "(learning)" next to the name despite the fact I have a perpetual license having chosen the rent-to-own method which I finished paying for in February of this year. Additionally, I am also receiving a message at the bottom of the screen that is telling me my license period ended on August 20, 2022, which is further adding to my confusion. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
  4. This video goes through the process of bringing in a premade spaceship using Addon Ship Wright into Blender and then converting this to a smooth detailed object. Once spaceship is created then I will be taking this into 3DCoat to use the Wrap Tool to create a rounded Sci-Fi Object. This tutorial will help to understand how to use many tools along the way to create some cool shapes. To follow along you will need shipwright however you can create another object in different means to bring this also into 3DCoat if needed. Please join me in the process. Let me know if this helps at all. Please understand this process is very intensive with the computer so there will be a lot of waiting for things. However, things you wait for are the best things.
  5. Hello and good evening. I discovered this wonderful software called 3D Coat; I love the texturing and uv mapping workflows, but I can't seem to get a handle on the baking phase. I've tried several bakes, but each time the results are the same. Could somebody tell me why my bake looks like that and what I need do? I paid close attention to both the outside and interior cages. I've watched several tutorials, but to no avail. Help, what should I do to fix this?
  6. This is an Alien Scorpion that I have created in 3dcoat and brought into Blender for rendering. This is an asset I will be using in a scene that is off world and going to be animated. This was modeled / retopo / textured all in 3dcoat. alienscorp0001-0250.mp4
  7. I have had this issue for awhile now, i have been using a surface pro 6 and surface pen on the 3D coat demo. I haven’t managed to get any pen pressure as brush strokes stay the same. I have downloaded wintab to see if that worked and it didn’t. I also contacted 3D coat support and they came back with changing tablet interface with windowsink instead of wintab and that didnt work either. how do i fix this?
  8. Hello all! I've created a free resource using 3D Coat (and daz for the humans). I was heavily inspired by the renaissance art movement. Here it is! (because it's kinda big, 1GB, I've hosted on Artstation - but it's free). Download link Have fun!

  10. Hello! These are free glass materials, 3 options. They are very simple, do not judge strictly. I will accept constructive criticism! Have fun! Free Glass Materials
  11. Hi, can anyone help?! So I've been working on a character for a while and I've just finished texturing it in 3DCoat. I have had to work on it in 3 different 3Dcoat files (Body, Armour and Boot) so my machine can handle it. I've wanted to move it in to blender to start rigging and add hair particles, so I've been using the 3DCoat Blender app link. For the most part it works perfectly accept for some certain objects. As you can see from the photos I've uploaded below in blender, the knuckle guards parts of the skin and the belt have weird texture errors. However when you look at them in 3dCoat there doesn't seem to be any errors. I've uploaded images of my export to blender settings to see if that could be the issue. Can anyone see what's causing this error and how to fix?! Much Appreciated
  12. I exported my model from Zbrush as an FBX (Ascii, not binary) but when uploading it to UV in 3Dcoat the spherical buttons are missing their faces and do not want to automap as the other body parts have. I haven't had this issue before and when testing the buttons alone they imported fine. But when importing with another subtool, they are missing polys. I have remade the buttons but still have the same issue. I also double checked that the normals are the same way and tried a few different settings to no avail. And lastly I have tried using an OBj instead of an FBX, which kind of works, but is no were near as simple because it automapped the groups very oddly. Not sure what else to try. Thanks in advance!
  13. Hey I am using 3D coat version 4.9. I sculpted this desk in 3d Coat then took it into blender. In blender I used the applink to send it to 3d coat for Painting it, as shown in the top image, I send the desk back to blender, but the object seems to have no texture on it in the view port. The UVs all seem to be intact. I tried this method with the gun model too (sculpted in 3dcoat- taken to blender- painted in 3d coat) and it seemed to have been working fine. I have also attached an image of the shader editor. Thank you very much for your time. You may download the blend file here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11QKtjRTN-r2zBM99MPgy2g6o_bHLq2xR/view?usp=sharing
  14. Hi I have a problem with RFill tool. It doesn't fill gaps with quads properly.
  15. I am tying to texture paint my model but these lines appear at Vertices and Edges seemingly for no reason...https://streamable.com/wk9not https://i.imgur.com/IgOK9Ik.png
  16. Hi, All, I have had Zbrush for over a year and have competed quite a few sculpts. It’s a great and powerful program and I enjoy it. However, 3D coat has been on my eye for a while now and I am about to buy. I was wondering which software do you prefer overall? I want to know the benefits of 3Dcoat. I want to sculpt both hard surface and organic 3D character meshes. I do not like the interface and functionality of Zbrush overall and I’m ready for a change. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  18. Hello! Tell me, please, why, when previewing, the clarity of the texture differs from applied to the model ???
  19. Just a Brief vision of 3D coat- these are hopefulls : NB: These are my TOP Hopefuls Time Line - For animation and Deformers over time Effectors/Deformers - Allowing Gravity/Wind/Forces to affect your mesh (flapping flag for example) and the Freezing of time to capture geometry Rendering Support - The ease of use with Redshift/V-Ray/KeyShot/I-Ray etc. E - Brush Panel and Symmetry Panel - Allow it to be a popup window or dockable. Smart Windows - When you select a tool, the appropriate windows arrange themselves. Ex - Selecting the Spline or Curves Tool, will load up the Spline Window (this means you can customize the Windows when a tool is used for example), then selecting the CutOff Tool, will bring up the Brush Panel. Smart Tool - From the Above, Customizing the Brush display windows options. Eg Click a Brush, then you can 'customize' what windows will show (tick mark the windows requested) - Ex. Click Tool and Windows A, G and Z are pushed forward or switched too. Live Clay + Surface - Surface tools have a live clay tick-box or universally ON button - allowing Surface tools to AUTO create it's mesh. Bones and Rigs - To allow Deformation in the Mesh and Character rigging in Game Engines and Animation software. Live Training on Twitch.tv - And YouTube streaming. This is an amazingly missed opportunity. Not are you missing on Sales, but Also exposure. 3D Coat still has major advantages over your directly Completion Zbrush - Yet ZBrush is MORE popular and it's not because of Zbrush's ease of use. Auto-Rotate Mesh Keys - Using the Arrow keys on your keyboard - Ex. Press left and the Camera / Model Rotates Left, Hold Ctrl to Move Left - this continues until you push on another Arrow key. I did get suckered into buying a 3D Connection Mouse - it's expensive but it doesn't fit the 3D Coat ecosphere, and I say that because 3D Coat is very much Shortcut key based, I have on hand on my Wacom, another on my keyboard and my third hand on my 3D mouse. There is a lesson to be learned here, which I will put in my next Hopeful. Quick Access One Touch Multi-options - While the Space Key is Awesome, I would love to see it implemented in our own menus and not just the space bar, Right Mouse button and multiple mouse button access. While having the Custom Brush panel is great. I would love to see more such menus that can be accessed via shortcut keys or mouse or controller keys. Curves and Splines - Bright Ideas or Bad Ideas: Better then Voxels and Surfaces? How is a Curve made? It isn't dependent on Resolution, all Sculpts are curves, and Curves are "interpolated" between each other. Could this be the future of Sculpting? No need to worry about Resolution? Ex. The cut off and Vox Hide tools - basically the Curve/Spline version of that would be the same, but instead of cutting into a mesh, you would be creating a tunnel instead, your not removing Polys/Voxels, it would be defining the curve shape to be created. This would mean that a Sphere would be the most simple of objects as it's Curves are uniform in all 3 directions. It would mean, no need for Base voxel counts of 1 Million Tris or more, to get good clean cuts. It would mean no Polygon Stretching as there are no Polygons, only Interpreted Line/Curves. You would retopo it for a High Density Mesh, that can be painted and UV Maped, while making a 'game'/basic mesh for such details to be baked on. Vector Graphics vs Bitmap. I've droned on enough. This is an out-there thought - some other software use only curves, yet they have no Cutoff, Move and Pose Brushes/tools. Conclusion: This is a list of Hopefully's - I may have missed some. Side Note: Blender has become a force of nature for the 3D world, beating Most 3D creation software in Rendering speed, the amount of add-ons make it extremely powerful. Will 3D coat push more towards Blender for Rendering/Animation/Rigging side? I purchased this Software for 2 Reasons: So much easier then ZBrush and because of 2 Youtubers: AlienMindfield and PolyToots - The Perfect demonstration of the Ease of use of 3D Coat. AlienMindfield's 2016 (yes 4 years ago) is still the most up-to date Tool tutorial out there. AlienMindfield - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXEHbpkKRdBMdavLQzogyxw and PolyToots https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGQVeHxXnvjFlU-bnrVv-OA I would love to hear from the DEVS what they have for the future

    Flight at Sunset

    From the album: Kenmo's 3D Art

    Rendered in Vue with postwork using ArtRage & Photoshop. I modeled the zeppelin parts in Hexagon & Groboto3D. And assembled the parts in Hex. The Zeppelin was uv mapped & textured in 3DCoat.
  21. Hi Professional Software Developers, Seriously frustrated, so attempt to overlook any snark that comes through. I'll start with the forum issues. I cannot seemingly post in the 3D Coat section, nor can I reply to any posts in the 3D Coat section, neither in that section, or from the front page (Those sections are greyed out). Why can't I post there? Thus, I have posted here. 3D Coat problems. Pink Edges for 'Sharp Edges" seem to show up no matter what I do. I've seen people say: "select all edges and Clear Sharp" but, I've never seen a "Clear" sharp button on the UV-Unwrap menu. Here's my process in image format: As you can see, it defaults to the hateful pink edges even without requesting it do this, and while ia see a button proclaiming Sharp Seams, how the heck do I remove ALL sharp seams. I HATE, HATE HATE these pink marks, obscuring my seam markings. Please please turn them off by default. 3) Something it also does, which is infuriating, is move parts of my FBX file around. I've tried 'No Center Snap', I've tried 'Center Snap' selected, and without seeming cause, messes up positioning on SOME fbx files. Nothing like this happens upon importing the same files into Zbrush, Substance or Marmoset. The files originate from 3DSMax and I always export with the same settings, and sometimes, it messes up the alignment some parts in relation to other parts. 4) Sometimes, edges are very close together, and my brush will simply not get small enough to select a particular edge when trying to make a seam. It'll snap to selecting one seam close to it but it avoids the seam I want. Very very annoying. 5) Sometimes parts of a mesh, upon using 'Unwrap', tangle the hell up, and become INCREDIBLY SMALL... and it takes me ages to see that they've done that if it's a spare polygon or three, but regardless, every time I try to flatten them out, they re-tangle up and become tiny, requiring me to use a rectangular lasso to select them. Large chunks of poly-space can end up invisible in the UV Preview space. Guys, it's getting to the point that it's (I can't believer I'm saying this) easier to UV unwrap in 3DSMax. Can we please go back to making this program rock solid and really good at what it does, and be LESS worried about adding the kitchen sink?
  22. I'm using 3DCoat to create retopology. I have run into the problems with complicated objects consisting of many parts. After importing into the program, I find part management very difficult (hiding, unhiding, selecting part for retopo) and the performance is very bad. Any idea how to improve this? I am thinking about dividing larger objects into smaller groups, but how could this be done most efficiently?
  23. Just downloaded the latest beta Jan 22-2020 of Moi3D ver 4 and was surprised to see it now has subD support. I imported the spaceship I created in 3DC. And exported the retopo'd OBJ and imported in MOI3D ver 4. It was taking too long to import on my I7-4700 and I also had Adobe Lightroom & Photoshop opened. So I installed MOI3D beta 4 on my newly built AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and after several minutes the OBJ opened (122,000 faces). WOW. This could be a game changer for me!!!
  24. I recently started to get back into 3d coat, and decided to go back into my 4.5 version, but after fooling around and having my cat stupidly run across my keyboard after being spooked, I can't seem to paint on the models I'm using anymore? Whenever I go to draw or color on any part of the model, it erases instead of coloring. I've looked through the settings, tried all the keybinds, uninstalled and reinstalled probably about 10 times, restarted my computer about 4 times, unplugged and even restarted my tablet drivers, and nothing. Can someone help out?
