Re: shadow explorer's works^^
Actually you can export your meshes as obj, merge them in the voxel room of 3dcoat (with the correct increase in resolution to support the details), fuse the parts together, then file>export as dense quads. You need the latest beta version on 3dcoat forum to do that though. The output mesh can be used for further sculpting… -
Re: License-able Pipeline Tools?
Yeah, we use Perforce too, and I've used a couple others in the past. What do you guys used to handle Source files? all the working files, maya scenes, huge PSDs, marmoset baking scenes, 3DC, Painter, etc. Is that all local then people just push final assets to the project via Perforce? Isn't there a shared drive so you… -
Re: 3D Coat or Topogun
Just make sure that you are actually maximizing your workflow with Topogun first and foremost. As in : do you have all the tools hotkeyed ? Opinions varies on this, but I personally can't see anything that 3DC does better or faster as far as retopo process is concerned. If anything you could very well record yourself doing… -
Re: painting directly on to model in photoshop?
I'll second 3D Coat, it's is very good for this type of thing, even does ppp normal and specular. The functionality is constantly being updated and improved (I'd suggest you get the latest build as there continue to be many improvements in these areas). 3D Coat has layer blending properties and manipulation similar to… -
Re: Answered: Suite freezes trying to create custom material during 3DO icon generation
It's still doing it. :( I'm using CC 2017, suite 2.3.1, and the above computer specs. What is frustrating is that it absolutely worked 100% once. But just once. As you can see by this shot. The FSD PA Camo is the working one. The files without the corresponding icon (DCG PA Camo) are the ones that were created by the above… -
Re: Meshmixer 05 Released (Epic)
Wait, I'm confuzzled, this seems like a MASSIVE leap in the sculpting area of things, even compared to Sculptris or Ptex in many ways, why aren't people more 'on jizz-alert' mode with this news? Am I missing something? Does 3DC do this already (I checked and didn't see anything amazing) or ZBrush? Does Mudbox have it's own… -
Re: Fastest re-topology application?
Personally I prefer 3DCoat, it's the most stable and robust set of tools. But I also prefer it because I use the 3D painting and UV tools a lot. Topogun 2.0 is great if you're looking for a cheaper solution, the tools are very comparable. There's also Wrapit, which uses custom tools in addition to Max's native ones and… -
Re: Packing all textures into one map. Pros and cons?
"Mathematical maps" like normal maps or gloss should not be read in the same gamma space as albedo. Pretty sure there would be 4 lookups anyway. Normal maps may benefit from better compression algorithm aswell like 3dc. You'd need some more instructions in your shader to define the number of row/columns, and/or add new uv… -
Re: Need tips about GLB exporting
GLB is a self-contained 3d model format, with geometry and textures inside. More info here https://github.com/KhronosGroup/3DC-Asset-Creation/blob/main/asset-creation-guidelines/RealtimeAssetCreationGuidelines.md I helped write parts of that, since I'm in weekly calls where we design the glTF format itself, via the Khronos… -
Re: How do you blend colors in 3DCoat? How do you smooth?
Use 4.1 if the new 4.5 brush tool isn't giving the desired results, that's really all you can do atp (though with some luck Andrew will make the 4.1 brush an option since you're not the only one having problems with that change). For blending, the smooth tool is unfortunately not designed properly to work on anything other…
