3DCoat - Sandbox Tiling Engine
I came up with the idea for a device within 3DC that would give you the ability to use voxels to create a perfectly tiling normal map. It seems to me that Voxels would be perfectly suited for this kind of work. Andrew seemed to think it was a great idea but unfortunately it's not seen the light of day yet. I started a… -
Re: Why Bump maps are 8 bit only?
All game engines compress textures to a direct X image format called DXT. For normal maps they often use either DXT1 or DXTn or 3Dc (which all are basically the same thing). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S3_Texture_Compression https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3Dc… -
Re: (3DCoat) What is 3DCoat and is it worth it? Who is using it? Do i need it?
imo, since you're talking about tuition money (i'm gonna assume its a lot), you would be better served learning a more widely adopted tool. i.e maya/max, zbrush, mudbox, or even a game engine (UE/Unity) course if those are options. 3dcoat has a very generous trial license and/or public beta, which makes it a good option to… -
Stuck on 3D Coat's retopo & baking workflow
Hello! I've been looking for the best workflow from the time that I import a model into 3DC until it's ready to bake and export. Problem is, I have found hardly any information or documentation on things that I desire to do. I am looking to bake an object, made of multiple subobjects, and bake it, and all the videos that I… -
Re: Is 3D Coat 4.5 (with PBR stuff) any good?
I also own all three of those, and prefer 3dcoat. For me, it's partially that I do a lot of handpainted stuff, which Substance Painter doesn't really do, but even for PBR I really, really like 3DCoat. Mari isn't aimed at game art at all (Although has a lot of things going for it), but that may change. You'll miss out on… -
Re: Mudbox Vs Substance Painter for Stylized Wow-esque Textures?
What alignment and size apace were you using? I've been doing some basic tests in SP and 3DC to test the stroke accuracy and couldn't get strong differences apart from some distortions in the strokes in both cases due to my camera being at and angle from the surface I'm painting on: The size of the brush is constant on any… -
Re: DDS photoshop plugin explained
Hey, wondering if you still have the fuel for working on this. I added some info in a thread on the CrazyBump forum... DXT5nm = y in green, x in alpha, red & blue empty. When creating a DDS normalmap, the mip generation method is important. Nvidia has a great pdf called Let's Get Small that talks about the best way to make… -
Re: 3d coat users, can you import a mesh for sculpting without triangulating it or losing UVs?
I'm not aware of a way for 3dc to do that, but a possible workaround would be to bring your original mesh into the retopo room and manually finesse it to the updated sculpt (with snapping turned on) and export that. While not ideal...it could work in a pinch depending on how drastic the sculpting changes are. Speaking of… -
Re: 3D-Coat V3 released!
I really want see what it can do, the alphas were great fun and I should imagine 3dc3 is going to be even more refined in time. I still havent seen many people give it a try on a really heavy project but it seems quite capable of giving a unique and powerful workflow.
