Member MirkoH Posted February 24, 2010 Member Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Hello, I would like to paint some color on that wheel in 3d-coat: Is there an option to paint some brown color (dirt) only at the cap of tire but not at the creases? I think Mudbox has a special brush to do things like that. Freezing the creases before painting the color would be an option. But this seems to get a very cumbersome task though.

Advanced Member spacepainter Posted February 24, 2010 Advanced Member Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 It is entirely possible in the paintroom, using paint only in creases, or " more on heights " etcetera....See manual for these options....

Member MirkoH Posted February 24, 2010 Author Member Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Thank you spacepainter!!! I didn't know how to call such an option. Maybe that's why I didn't find this topic in the help file tonight (or maybe I just had been way to tired). So thanks again for this pointer! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member MirkoH Posted February 24, 2010 Author Member Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Hm, it seems to be a little bit trickier then I thought. Here is the wheel which I like to put some dirt on (the previous one was just a quick test object): Neighter " - more/less in cavity", nor "- more/less on heights" seems to do the job.

Advanced Member spacepainter Posted February 25, 2010 Advanced Member Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Is the resolution and the size of the brush in a logical proportion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member spacepainter Posted February 25, 2010 Advanced Member Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Are you using Ptex? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member MirkoH Posted February 25, 2010 Author Member Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Hi spacepainter! I am not sure if it is Ptex. But if this is the new technique where one can paint onto the model without any uv unwrapping - then, it's not Ptex. I modelled this wheel in 3ds max and exported it to 3d-coat for unwrapping and texturing. If you would like to have a look at this file, here it is: 3D-coat file Mirko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member spacepainter Posted February 25, 2010 Advanced Member Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Sorry I don't have a copy of 3dcoat where I am currently. What you are trying is not difficult, just change parameters, tweak away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
