New Member StrawberryGirl Posted November 19, 2014 New Member Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Hi everyone! I recently downloaded the program as a trial version, and I need to verfiy that it can do the following before I purchase: I have a character that is a single mesh, with multiple texture maps applied (i.e., torso, limb, face maps). I need to be able to paint the seams between different maps and have both maps update with the changes, which I can then export individually. Is this something 3d-coat can do? So far, it seems like it is opening the mesh with the textures applied as layers, and when I export the layers, it seems to only have part of the seam painting applied (i.e., only getting the torso side of the seam fix, not the arm side). It doesn't seem like layers are the way I really would want to handle this, but admittedly, I'm not yet familiar with the workflow/terminology of the program. I've turned to 3d-coat because Mudbox has been giving me such issues with trying to do this. Fingers crossed that 3d-coat works! Thanks in advance for any and all help you can offer!

Javis Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Are the seams showing in 3DC or another application that you're opening the mesh/textures in? If so, what application are you using to open it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Member StrawberryGirl Posted November 20, 2014 Author New Member Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Yes, the seams are showing in 3dc. I originally set up the model in Maya (assign textures, clean things up, etc). Then export as an .obj. Then iImport that into 3dc (in paint room). Textures come in fine, but they are set up as layers (not sure if that is the right was to handle it), and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to export the changes to both maps once I'm done painting seams.

Contributor Solution Malo Posted November 21, 2014 Contributor Solution Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Layers are fine, because Painting in 3d coat works like in Photoshop. Export is easy File -> Export Model -> choose what you want and hit OK. Dont forget to use Padding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javis Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 FWIW Seams might appear like they are showing sometimes in 3DC, but it tends to be an OpenGL issue, and things usually like right in whatever engine you're using. At least that is how things have gone for me. It varies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
