Re: Jedi Starfighter
Thank you. 3D Coat has cavity painting, so there's not much need to go into Photoshop. The only time I did so far was to place the "decal" type images as it was a little easier for positioning them, then right back to 3D Coat. 3DC has a feature that's similar to zbrush's "zapp link" where I can hit a button and my textures… -
Re: substance painter vs 3d coat and Hand Painted Texturing
Despite what its name suggest, Substance Painter is not really a tool to paint textures in the "handpainted" sense as it is lacking some of the core features that 3DCoat relies on for this task - amongst others, the ability to send a screenshot of what is currently being worked on to Photoshop in order to paint there then… -
Re: bounch's items!
Oh man, these texturing videos remind me of how nice it was to texture like that in Deep Paint 3D a few years back (same workflow : exporting a screenshot to Photoshop, painting over that, re-importing/reprojecting). It allowed to texture a full character in just a few passes. Is there any hurdle in the process when using… -
Re: 3dmax with Bodypaint - Advantage???
ZBrush is a different beast altogether. You cannot paint Specular, Gloss, Emissive, or any kind of special maps. You can only paint the Diffuse, and the diffuse relies on your vertices, meaning it stories the color information on your model instead of UV or textures. Look up Vertex Painting to see what I mean, ZB does… -
Re: My experiences with DDS NM Compression
Eric> Thanks :) Sorry if my text elements are confusing. I'm writing which channels i use of the RGBA space and which original input. So for example the DXT5_nm example i wrote "xGxR". I took the contents of the red channel and put it in the alpha channel. Then I blanked (black) the red and blue channel. I then saved this… -

Choice of tools for self-teaching artists
OK, here's my history with 3D. Back in 1994 I started teaching myself 3DS DOS. Then I gave up because I couldn't fathom how to use the tool properly. Then after I came to America at the age of 20 (in 1996). I briefly learned how to use Animation Master, while teaching myself how to use early version of MAX. Then I swore of… -
Re: Microsoft Surface
Hey Nitewalkr - sorry for being a bum and not responding to the other thread. About the Lenovo tablet for ZB -- my boyfriend uses ZB and 3DC on his X220T (i7, 8GB ram) and while both work well, 3DC is pretty demanding on the hardware and temperatures fly (sometimes 90Celcius). But Zbrush is totally fine, and without lag.… -
Re: QRemesher Anyone ?
It has a high learning curve, but once you get used to it, it's pretty easy to figure out honestly, and you can even predict what kind of loops it will give you over time. Just remember that it was made by "The Doctor" who also contributed to 3DC is using the same formula in here, so it doesn't matter if you 3DC of QR,… -
