Advanced Member lc8b105 Posted June 12, 2009 Advanced Member Share Posted June 12, 2009 In 30 days trial it is full function, after 30 days it will run into demo mode(will have some feature limitation). So enjoy the 30 days full function trial! Quote Link to comment https://3dcoat.com/forum/index.php?/topic/2772-30-day-trail-starts-now/#findComment-21475 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member ghib Posted June 12, 2009 Advanced Member Share Posted June 12, 2009 Nice to see another fellow Scot on these forums. Will this video be purely for your company's eyes or something you'll share with the rest of the world? Your experiences may benefit the development of the app as well as beginners; pleasant surprises, pitfalls, revelations etc. *edit* Also.. feel free to ask any questions here. It's one of the most helpful forums I've experienced and doesn't suffer yet from many random 'Wooot!' clutter posts Quote Link to comment https://3dcoat.com/forum/index.php?/topic/2772-30-day-trail-starts-now/#findComment-21510 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member OnlineRender Posted June 12, 2009 Author Member Share Posted June 12, 2009 No i will keep it under-raps for now , mainly for my eye's only , if i take time over which i would call a small personal project , i will post ,but only after it has been QA by certian key members ,the last thing I want to do is step on anybody's toes . By default im a ZB & LW user , but theres certian companies in Scotland that i want to work with / for ,which atm are taking an interest in 3D Coat ,mainly due to its great price / workflow . So i will create a video record of it how it works / feels and what i can achive within 30 days "ps still not installed demo " to busy cutting my front grass otherwise my wife will be very angry with me " got to take advantage of this sunshine in Scotland " LOL I'll try and keep the application / video diary in par with the product and display a proffesional attuatiude towards it . yI will probably start tonight . Ps lovin the forum , well constructed ! also i would personaly like to thank a certian NT member on here for there hard work and product insight ."you know who you are " Peace .

Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted June 12, 2009 Reputable Contributor Share Posted June 12, 2009 No i will keep it under-raps for now , mainly for my eye's only...You have to share now...you've let the cat out of the bag.I'd like to ask Andrew, when he comes back from vacation, if he can try to create a live link...similar to GoZ, but much better than that, maintain a REAL live link, as Combustion does with 3ds Max. Starting with Lightwave (since he already has some dandy connections specific to LW) and 3ds Max (has the largest userbase, so a good place to start). This link updates live...so, if diffuse, specular, displacement, normal, SSS and dirt maps could be updated with each stroke, you could see the full rendered result in the host application REALTIME. It doesn't get any better than that. As for Voxels or polygonal sculpts, something like GoZ...where you click a button in 3DC to update the geometry in the host application, would be fine instead of live scultping updates. But having live material updates would just be the bees knees. Something noone has yet done. I'm going to give it a try with Combustion and finalRender Stage 1 R3 when it's released (should be any time now). It includes an FPrime-esque IPR. If that works, I'll try to record the results and let everyone here see exactly what I'm talking about.

Javis Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I recommend starting in the voxel tab first. It's a fun thing to mess around with, or create serious work in just a matter of minutes. Then I'd try retopologizing something. Then maybe import a mesh and paint with per pixel painting. Fun stuff!

Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted June 12, 2009 Reputable Contributor Share Posted June 12, 2009 Lightwave users should take to 3DC's new UI straight away. It seems it's been tailor fitted to them. I've been playing around with docking panels around in the workspace. Although it's tough to beat Mudbox's simplistic appearance, 3DC seems to be the most intuitive...with the text tabs borrowed from LW, and the Photoshop layer pallet. Great job, Andrew, Shadow and everyone who contributed to it Quote Link to comment https://3dcoat.com/forum/index.php?/topic/2772-30-day-trail-starts-now/#findComment-21551 Share on other sites More sharing options...
