Hi all!

My name is Jukka-Pekka and live in Finland. I've watched this forum for a while, but since I have not been active my last registration was removed. Since I do not want it to happen again, this is my first message to the forum ;D

As a day job I work with the infrastructure of bridges. Mainly involved in technical drawings, but I also do illustrations. In my job I mainly fiddle around with Autocad, 3D Studio Max and Photoshop. After hours I make "softer" models with 3D-Coat, ZBrush, Vue Infinite, SketchUp, Moi3D and Photoshop (to name few apps). Almost all my free time is spent with 3d modeling and trying to learn it as much as I possibly can.

Tervetuloa! (means 'welcome' in finnish)

Glad to see more us here. I hope you feel like home here. I wouldn't think better time to start using 3d-coat when LiveClay is

almost here. I can almost taste it already... :)

Kiitos, kiitos, kiitos... =D ('Thank You, Thank You, Thank You' in Finnish - Funny language or what?!)

I have been following/using 3D-Coat since 2008 and growth has been amazing. LiveClay will be one of the best additions ever. Just 3d-mouse, Wacom tablet, 3D-Coat... and time to play! It's worth waiting for.

Hi all. I'm Mark Whittemore ... using handle of ggaliens for about 13 years now. Been doing 3D graphics since BattleZone and PC-Man were new arcade games. I started very young playing with Vector graphics and learning the required mathematics. Apple I and Apple II were my first graphics machines. HPLOT did all the work.

I'm mostly a 3DHobbiest, but spend a lot of time writing odd plug-ins for Wings3D.

I'm a huge fan of mathematical & procedural methods for texturing and surface deforming.

Nice to meet you all.

Hi all,

Hello Guys!

I am Rodrigo From Rio de Janeiro - Brazil,I am a fulltime Digital Electronic Technician but used to be a magazine`s graphic designer for over 5 years. I currently code in the computer for the iOS and Mac as I am Apple developers member of both systems. I use programs like Photoshop, CorelDraw, Scupltris, ArtRage, etc. I am looking for a 3D software for a couple of weeks, regarding its power of creation and at the same time and maybe more important than, for the easy way to use that. I`ve downloaded the 3d-Coat soft and I`ve downloaded also all the video tutorials (that first one - getting started - about the RAT CARTOON) and I can say I am almost falling in love on 3D-COAT! BUT (why there is always a BUT for everything?!) am very nervous now because I am following the video tutorial about the sculpt of the RAT cartton and the guys speaks and does use the MOVE TOOL (and I aleady learned that its a very important tool) specifically when him uses the MOVE TOOL to sculpt the mouth of the rat, but is there I am getting in trouble!!! I think because I am a Mac user (I am on a MacBook Pro 13" i5 core Intel based) and so there is no "mouse" instead a trackpad as you all already know sure...so I think the problem is the Mac because there is not a Middle mouse button and even a right button (ok, it does have, but its built-in together the left side button and so it is impossible to press both at the same time running each one there proper functions! Like this I am trying to find a way to change the AXIS? of the MOVE TOOL cursor! Only this and I am unable to do it! On the video tutorial the guy says something about press CTRL key to change its AXIS angle (like X, Y, Z) but honestly I am feeling very bad for sure cause I`ve already looked at the EDIT-->PREFERENCES and I cannot see anything there that says or help with this issue that I am having to change the ANGLE, AXIS of the MOVE TOOL when sculpting the MOUTH of the RAT!! To resume - I want to change basically the angle of the MOVE TOOL from the standard 180 degrees for 90 degrees!! Can someone HELP ME??? I think I am a donk right now. :(

Thank you so much in advance for ANY HELP regarding a MAC USER.

P.S.: Sorry about my English Skills as I am a Portuguese Native speaker. :drinks:

Regards,

Rodrigo - BRCosta.

Hi, I'm Dave Nugent and I am a pattern maker, as my user name suggests. I make designs and models and molds and such for using in both sand and lost-wax foundries. Much of the work I do is decorative- for the architectural hardware industry. I'm kind of an old guy, so I started this occupation using all hand methods, like carving wood, modeling clay. Gradually started adding digital methods as they became mainstream. Now, most of what I do I design with Rhino3D and machine by CNC. I played with the Sensable system some years ago, but the price was too much for a one-man operation. 3D Coat looks like it will get the same results, though I still haven't figured out how to deal with keeping objects on multiple layers scaled the same and in the position they were originally designed in when I import them. I think the feel of sculpting with a Wacom tablet VS using a haptic device is not different enough to justify the price difference. Most sculpting seems to be visual rather than tactile. I do think that the fact 3D Coat allows use of 3D Connexion devices makes all the difference in how usable the program is. Well done!

Thanks!

Hello everyone, 3Dcoat is a very great program that is making great strides and I hope to grow more and better.

Voxels have the best of modelling freedom, polygon not yet .... and now that finally was born liveclay will be a revolution in the entire 3d modeling field :)

sorry for english...I'm writing from Italy

Hello! I've been lurking here for awhile, but just now noticed this thread so here it goes... :)

I'm Santtu Huotilainen from Helsinki, Finland. I work as an Art Director at Frozenbyte developing games for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC/Mac. We are currently working on

I first started dabbling in digital graphics with Commodore 64 and Koala Painter, then later moved to Amiga and Deluxe Paint. In mid-90's I interested in 3D, first with Imagine and Real 3D, and soon after switched to LightWave, which I still use. After working some time in web/mobile and video fields I entered game industry in 2004 as an artist/animator in Frozenbyte's Shadowgrounds.

As an artist I'm a generalist. Whenever at work I have time to actually do some content myself, I might be found doing modeling/sculpting/texturing/rigging/animating/videos/particle effects - whatever is needed. Jack of all trades - master of none, so to speak. :D

I've been using 3D Coat as an additional tool for a couple of years. First almost solely for retopology (which is awesome, especially with AUTOPO), lately also more and more with actual sculpting.

Cheers,

Santtu.
