Member Northvs Posted January 17, 2021 Member Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 A keystroke feature similar to Blender would be great. Alot of tutorials are time-lapse and when the maker of the tutorial is using shortcuts, it's difficult to see which tool is being used. I'm finding 3dCoat to be incredible but it's a steep learning curve - anything to help this is very much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member sprayer Posted January 17, 2021 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) But you need just to see top menu and there is always showing selected tools on the left. I think you watching bad tutorials sadly there is not many good tuts for 3dcoat. I hate for example Anton Tanitsky he often cut UI. Just find good authors for example https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGQVeHxXnvjFlU-bnrVv-OAhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJFQSxA2dObc2ycCeZqTBfAhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXEHbpkKRdBMdavLQzogyxw https://www.youtube.com/user/quicksketch/featured Edited January 17, 2021 by sprayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Northvs Posted January 18, 2021 Author Member Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 Thank you for the links and yes, some tutorials crop the UI so that's an issue but also, sometimes when a tool is being used it isn't highlighted on the left tool bar - I assume it has to do with the tool being invoked with a shortcut? I'm finding 3dCoat very difficult to understand and therefore need tutorials. It's an incredible program but the interface and workflow of moving from one room to another requires a level of knowledge which is not easy to acquire. This is made more difficult due to the current features not being in the tutorials from 6 or 8 years ago for example - the Alphas toolbar has gone in the current versions. The interface could be made more intuitive and maybe popup help boxes on the best workflow of moving from one room to another. I did my first sculpt yesterday and wanted to UV it and export but, I couldn't remember the command to see it in the UV room and was that in the sculpt room, UV room or Retopo room. As I said, it's an incredible program and I will persevere with it but, it would be great if it was easier to learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
