Advanced Member Calabi Posted February 3, 2010 Advanced Member Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I'm wondering if I can paint in 3DCoat similar to this technique in Zbrush? http://www.alexandervonsass.com/skintut/ http://www.zbrushcentral.com/showthread.php?t=48840 How do I go about setting up the airbrush and materials, etc?

philnolan3d Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 It's probably even easier than that because you can paint in layers like Photoshop, so paint all that dark color onto a layer then just reduce the opacity of that layer. There really isn't much setting up to do. I just tried it and all I did was pick the airbrush tool, turn off depth and specular painting (two of the three icons along the top bar), then picked the 2nds pen pressure type in the E panel (E key) Video: http://screencast.com/t/NTAzODkxMW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I have a couple of problems I try and pick a light peach skin tones but they are highly specular, bright and shiny like HDR. I've turned off the button at least I think I have unless there is another one. Also what about the dots do you use the many dots alpha, because the trouble is its too contigouous, you end up with a bunch of lines instead of discreet dots.

Assuming you turned off specularity I'd suggest playing with the lighting with these: If you actually want dots look in the Pen Options tab. Down the bottom is a check box called Use Spacing and a slider under that to control the amount. Edit: BTW this was my 3000th post, hope it was worthy!

In 3DCoat my favorite way is that way: You load pics as 'materials' and then you can tweak image with brush to fit reference before projecting. Then you have blast with clone brush to break the generic aspect of the image used and give it a new personality... Very fast.But...needs a credit card and 3D.SK....or Googleimage...EDU. EDU is the magical word here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor artman Posted February 5, 2010 Contributor Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 or you can use stamp mode with nice squares of hires skin and blend altogether with clone brush.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a video of doing this with my orc model I made several skin brushes in Photoshop including spec and bump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
