Advanced Member Aleksey Posted June 8, 2015 Advanced Member Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 you should buy it and start making tutorials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member L'Ancien Regime Posted June 8, 2015 Advanced Member Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) Nice. Great texturing. You're a natural.\ What program were you using before this? Mudbox or Zbrush? Or perhaps the sculpting tool in Blender? Edited June 8, 2015 by L'Ancien Regime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Kappikarpfen Posted June 8, 2015 Member Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Very nice you have much talent, you should buy. How much poly is it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member strangelet3345 Posted June 10, 2015 Author Member Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 thankyou ^.^ its about 12 million tris, a few dif objects. done all in vox mode, as for the texturing pffffft i just picked a couple of presets and tried out the text wrap tool. 3d coat basically operates itself :P this was part of a trio of models i knocked up to be icons for engine mod items (player customizable starfighters - www.affuniverse.com) 3d coat chewed up the task of making some cool incrementally badass looking engines. you cn see where i just went *OMG TWO INTAKES ARE BETTER THAN ONE* its a shame, they will only be 384 pixels wide ingame :P i have been modelling in c4d, max, maya, zbrush and substance for quite some time now, i thought i'd check out how our eastern friends roll, and i'm loving it so far. it's hard to match the magic insta-quality of zbrush, but i'm finding ways of doing all my old favourite tricks and a lot more. oh my god, this thing can draw a straight line! i think i will buy it for that alone, and voxels are somuchfun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member L'Ancien Regime Posted June 10, 2015 Advanced Member Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 All it needs is a hair fur system like Hair Farm and it'll blow Zbrush away..once Andrew finishes updating the retopo tool that is... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member aegean Posted June 19, 2015 Member Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 WOW - I'm just on the demo version, but I'm not sure I can make something like this off the bat. Gonna try to emulate this, "try" being the word Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member aegean Posted June 20, 2015 Member Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 How was the mesh at the rear achieved please? Are there any online tutorials I could follow for this?, if somebody could be kind enough to point me in the right direction TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member strangelet3345 Posted June 27, 2015 Author Member Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) awwwww. was just about to hit the buy button when i found out that 3dc non-pro is limited to 7 layers. oh well, back to zbrush and painter ps - the mesh at the back, with the holes in it - was an extruded and detatched voxel layer which i used a mask image of those holes to cut into.

Yeah, that's just paint layers, and you can work around that without a lot of fuss. The EDU-Non-Commercial license isn't intended to compete with ZBrush and Substance Painter...both of which are substantially higher in cost than 3D Coat's Professional version.

I'm not sure why that would factor in to going back to ZB anyway. ZB doesn't even have paint layers, at least it didn't the last time I used it.

Member strangelet3345 Posted August 29, 2015 Author Member Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) so. i did decide to buy it in the end. thanks for mentioning that it was only paint layers that are limited, pilgway needs to be clear about that! now i just need to find time away from pushing polygons at work - to push polygons and voxels at home ^.^ also about zbrush - i'm still pretty unimpressed with the quality of 3dc's sculpting. it must be tremendously difficult to get it smooth and responsive like the guys at pixologic have done - probably its a fundamental difference of approach - but the fact remains that zbrush is incredibly smooth and fast for freehand and sculpting. of course, they are also batcrap crazy and have reinvented so many things in bizarre ways that it took me a year to learn the app. 3dc is so SENSIBLE, and i love it for that. hopefully 3dc's core responsiveness will improve, but its less critical operations like all the cutting and masking and drawing curves are easily the best in any hipoly app. i foresee a happy union of all the software, as long as things stay nicely compatible.

Advanced Member Aleksey Posted August 29, 2015 Advanced Member Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 make sure you're in surface mode, and try the brush presets on the right. They are much smoother than what you get by default by clicking on the brushes. its quite stunning, sometimes feels like its a different app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
