Recommended Posts

Hallo guys, I'm new in the group, I've bought  3D Coat 2 weeks ago and I already need some help. I'm doing some tutorials after Jayanam on YT, and I found that my 'Smart materials preview' quality is much better then after 'Fill whole layer'. How could I find the solution. Does my UV map is bad, I set it 2048 during import. If there was a similar topic here already in the past, please share a link to it. Thanks ;)

Hi

Hope this help.

The preview window renders at a Higher quality. You would need a 8k map in the smart material to closely match it. 

You will be limited by the resolution of the smart material images that are used to make the smart material and your final texture resolution for your image maps. Also is how well you are using the UV space, that is how your uv-islands are filling up the uv space.

I make all-my smart materials at 4K.

Hi

Thanks for reply. Problem solved. Firsth i've packed and scaled my UV's an the I've increased the texture resolution size up to 4K and it looks much better now. I think 8K wolud be perfect unfortunately it is bit to heavy for my iMAc ;) I attached some improved screenshots of my heater ;) Thanks for help (y)

I was noticing the same thing. I enlarged my texture in PS, but still did not see a change when painting. Then, I increased the resolution of my model in the sculpt room to 16X. Even the low resolution texture applied beautifully. This may not be suitable for everyone, I know. I usually sculpt at a fairly high resolution for surface details and print on a 3d printer. Just starting with painting. Love the product, but I have to constantly learn new things.
