Member 13sixes Posted August 11, 2025 Member Share Posted August 11, 2025 Anyone any good at recreating the functionality of certain photoshop brushes in 3dcoat? Im trying to salvage as much of my former workflow as im able too and im having a difficult time getting a grasp on the Brush system. One brush in particular i get the original alpha it uses but not recreating how it works. thanks Quote Link to comment https://3dcoat.com/forum/index.php?/topic/31754-converting-photoshop-brushes/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted August 12, 2025 Share Posted August 12, 2025 Do you have the brush in abr format, or need to recreate brush settings ? ----------------------- how to import Photoshop ABR brushes into 3DCoat: Click that (+) at the end: Then choose Open Texture File. I'm certain people are getting lost here, it won't occur to the average user that an ABR file is considered a "texture" file. When the file window opens, all good: Hope this helps.

Carlosan Posted August 12, 2025 Share Posted August 12, 2025 Those are painting brush alphas. You can export ABR from Photoshop, and import Alphas in Coat, but it will get only alpha images. Brush settings cant be transferred, as Coat uses completely different engine and settings.

Member 13sixes Posted August 19, 2025 Author Member Share Posted August 19, 2025 I really need to find a good tutorial on brush creation in 3dcoat. Its literally the only thing keeping me from using the software full time.
