Member Adam Gibson Posted March 3, 2011 Member Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 3D Coat 3.5 Photo Painting I-Paint an Elephant Using Photos http://www.learn3dsoftware.com/3dc_35_lightwave_users_photo_paint_1.htm In this tutorial 3D Coat Instructor Adam Gibson demonstrates the powerful photo painting tool-set inside of 3D Coat. Sometimes in order to create the most photo-realistic and life-like looking characters you need to use real photos of animals/creatures to create the illusion. Also this can be a huge time saver as trying to paint a texture from scratch can be very tedious, time-consuming, and require great skill. Learning how to use the photo-painting tool can save hours and hours of texturing work and speed up your work-flow. So if you are looking for a quick way to texture your creatures and animals this is the training course for you.

Member Edgedeep Posted March 7, 2011 Member Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Kudos Adam! I purchased this video over the weekend. Chock full of useful info for a newbie like me (so much so that I bought two of your other tutorials a day later). I'm not a Lightwave user but, I think the principles are sound and your instructions are clear and concise. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
