Hello dear friends. I´am Paul and I´m from Europe. I have a little (big) problem with 3D-coat, at the moment. There is already a thread from 2017 with a similar problem; but non of the solutions work for me. I used 3d coat at school, and there we always used the auto-retopology function. Now, I bought the program, because I really missed it. But as soon I try to activate the auto-retopology, this happens: I click on auto-retopology. I import my model, choose the right setting (I already experimented with it.) The Program opens my model in a yellowish-beige color. If I use the density modulator, or not, changes nothing. Then comes the moment where I can draw the guidelines. (If I do it or not is also unimportant) Then I click on "Next". And then, nothing. The model stays how it is and I am stuck on the retopology screen, where I could theoretically begin to do the retopology by hand. No automatic retopology performed. I changed the size of the model. Tried objs created by another program. Always the same. I really don`t know what to do, and I really hope that someone can help me. I apologize in advance, if it`s a really stupid problem, that could be solved by one click. I´m trying for 2 days now to do it, and I have a deadline X( I thank you very much in advance and wish you a nice weekend Paul

Hey Guys, I just made a new tutorial on Autoretopology. http://www.learn3dsoftware.com/3dc_4_vol_14_autoretopo_secrets.htm In this fourteenth video volume of 24 volumes 3D Instructor Adam Gibson introduces the 3D student to 3D Coat's powerful Auto-Retopology Tools. So why is Auto-Retopology a needed process? The best 3D texture artists in the world know that in order to have flawless textures you need near perfect UV maps. The problem is that with Organic Sub-D models a process called "Retopology" is usually needed to do that. But the other problem that lies within that is that "Manual Retopology" is just as time consuming as UV Mapping, if not more in some cases. So this is where "Auto-Retopology" comes in to help speed up the process. Table of Contents for Volume #14 Chapter 1- Intro Chapter 2- What is Auto-Retopology?
