Member pauloduarte Posted June 5, 2016 Member Share Posted June 5, 2016 Starting a little late, but hope I can finish on time. I'm not very experienced in 3d coat, but the little I know makes me very impressed, always seeing amazing works made by users here in the forum, so I'm taking the opportunity of this contest to learn more 3d Coat and trying to make a cool model. My vehicle will be a very large tank fortress. Here are the references and a quick sketch in 3d coat: References: Basic Sketch: Cheers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Dobby Posted June 17, 2016 Member Share Posted June 17, 2016 Although you state you weren't experienced in 3DC your work sure does look like it. Maybe you've got time to answer some questions from someone TRULY inexperienced 1) How did you make the tanktreads and then let them go around the inner wheels? (something like duplicate along curve?) 2) The step-by-step images are really valueable, thanks for those! Could you explain how the last three steps work exactly? (Make alpha to mesh and bend?)

Member pauloduarte Posted June 17, 2016 Author Member Share Posted June 17, 2016 Hello Dobby, thank's for reply. 1) I make one single tread, decimate, send to Maya, duplicate along curve, merge all, send back to 3d coat. 2) I used a image in stencil, then cut with Cut Off brush, and bend with Warp Tool. Cheers. Paulo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Dobby Posted June 18, 2016 Member Share Posted June 18, 2016 2) By stencil you mean the logo tool? cut off to get rid of the middle part? How can one get really sharp edges using the stencil/logo? Without very high res it seems to get jaggy edges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member pauloduarte Posted June 20, 2016 Author Member Share Posted June 20, 2016 I'm not a advanced user in 3d Coat, but I manage to make a hires at the beginning, and later you can retopo or use Live Clay to optimize the mesh, cut off the edges, smooth... More updates, running to finish on time, hope I can start the texturing this week: Side Door: Engines: Blocking the base structure: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member pauloduarte Posted June 23, 2016 Author Member Share Posted June 23, 2016 Barrier/Drill, sorry my poor rendering skills in 3d coat, I did not have time to study yet, but soon I'll start the renders in Maya. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Dobby Posted June 23, 2016 Member Share Posted June 23, 2016 Looks great how those single parts are coming together! Is it all voxelbased? Do you merge parts? Could you show how you made the parts to the sides which hold the spiked cylinders and have those adjustmentscrews on them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member pauloduarte Posted June 23, 2016 Author Member Share Posted June 23, 2016 Hello Dobby, I'm building some parts directy in 3d coat because some things are easier to make in voxels as this drill for example. Other parts I do in Maya and refining some detail in voxel or surface mode. The drill after done the voxel modeling, I applied a decimate, duplicate and merge in surface mode. You can put other geometries, duplicate bolts in surface mode very easy. Some times I'm having troubles with hi poly count, I'm learning that I need keep the eye on the status line in the bottom.

Member BubbaDaCaveman Posted July 2, 2016 Member Share Posted July 2, 2016 I see a winner How much memory do you have mate? I have used more than 90 percent of memory on my 12 gig 7 years old machine. As a result had to put a stop to the amount of details I was initially planning on putting on my model. Good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor Tony Nemo Posted July 2, 2016 Contributor Share Posted July 2, 2016 I only have 12 GB also. I think 32 would be trouble free. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member pauloduarte Posted July 2, 2016 Author Member Share Posted July 2, 2016 My machine it's very old too, 5 or 6 years old, I have 18 gb, but I try optimize everything as possible, my main problem is my GTX 460, very old to work with 3d Coat, there is a lag when I change the tools.

Member pauloduarte Posted July 7, 2016 Author Member Share Posted July 7, 2016 Kargall -> thank you dimitribastos -> a mix of 3d coat and Maya, sometime I make a base mesh in Maya and put details in 3d coat, but some pieces I think it's more easily starting the modeling in voxel, decimation, and later send to Maya. I'm trying make some assets for the final scene: 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
