Hey guys, I've googled but not sure exactly what to query. I want to import a model to 3D Coat from Maya for painting and, just like in Substance Painter, hide certain parts of the model so that I can just paint bits of it, such as the blade of a sword. Please help!

    What part are you having trouble with exactly?

    Importing a model is as simple as file > Import > Model for Per-Pixel Painting.
    If you want to hide a part of your mesh I'd recommend breaking the mesh up into parts and naming them properly before importing to 3D-Coat so you can just toggle them via the 'Paint Objects' panel, otherwise there's a 'Hide' menu at the top of the app with everything you need.
