Member wires Posted January 16, 2016 Member Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 I'm doing 3D Animation using iClone from Reallusion. The software has a module for creating characters, and these can be exported as .obj files for modification/enhancement in a package such as 3DCoat. The main problem that I am running up against at the moment is that 3DCoat will only import/export Diffuse maps as .psd files - all other maps offer a selection of common file formats. Since the RL Character Creator does not import/export .psd files I am having to run various maps through Gimp just to get them to/from 3DCoat. So my question is, why does 3DCoat not offer a file selection option for Diffuse maps, but does offer one for other maps? I'm just starting with 3DCoat, and am really getting to like it over Substance Painter for a lot of work - but this constant file conversion process is putting a damper on an otherwise super fast product workflow.

Reputable Contributor Solution digman Posted January 16, 2016 Reputable Contributor Solution Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) What version of 3DC are you using. Professional--- Educational. Where in detail are you trying to export from? What does your export image file formats look like for your color (diffuse) file. I have attached an image of mine... File Menu \ Export Objects and Textures. Second image is from Textures Menu Export Color / Albedo 3rd image Textures menu Import Color / Albedo Edited January 16, 2016 by digman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member wires Posted January 17, 2016 Author Member Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) Thanks' digman, I have the Pro version, and my mistake was using Import>Layers Colour, which only offers .psd as an import option. The Export Options window that you show doesn't open on my system when I click on File>Export Objects & Textures. I don't seem to be able to embed an image in a post, but when I select the Menu item the only thing that happens is an explorer window opens to a folder with options to save as .obj, .fbx and a few other formats. As I said in my post, I'm just starting with 3DCoat and have had a lot of questions answered just by reading the Forum and watching the Tutorials. Somehow the answer to this question wasn't quite so easy to find. There's quite a wealth of information here, and that removes the need for repeat Noob questions.
