@kanga yeah the sheer amount of learning content you can find for zbrush (plus that, at least before you could buy it and own it forever) are huge pluses that 3d coat seems to lack. Though on the pricing i think 3d coat is possible to own still? Not sure I didn't look super deep into it. But the lack of learning content is…
it dawned on me that mudbox still exist. For some reason I thought it had been discontinued. Anyway, I trying out the 2024 version and actually it is closer to what I've been seeking than 3d coat is. When it comes to sculpting I pretty much use like two brushes and the only functionality I have to have is subdivision…
Sadly there is no material /texture software that I would consider convenient. All them are monstrously terrible IMO. You can just tolerate one while other feels intolerable. 3d coat had been tolerable for some time but then stopped to be such . I switched to Painter and hated it no less. All it's non-destructiveness is…
Guys I am just testing out 3d coat and it seems like the program I always wish zbrush was. Compared to zbrush, 3d coat offers: * actual viewport rendering so you can see what you are doing and it is not totally different compared to how your game engine will look * you can hot swap between sculpting and texturing on the…
@Benjammin i did some quick test: at 32 million triangles voxel and surface sculpting shows a tiny bit of lag, but still very useable at 128 million it is laggy enough that i consider it not useable (though you could if you really had to) I have a 3090 GPU and 64gb ram, and this is 3d coat 2024.13 I have no idea how this…
Did it actually refuse to run though? I recall they initially demoed it (when it was still in beta) exclusively on Quadro's (and made some outrageous performance claims related to those too while they were at it). I always ran it on Geforce's and don't recall any time it did not run or became a crashfest or anything.Never…
@Rima it has multi-res layer support now, and i have been sculpting on quad meshes so perhaps something there has changed. It seems like the intended workflow is that you use the voxel modeling as you would use sculptris pro in zbrush (or dynamesh) when you are figuring out forms. Then you can retopo (it has lots of…
It's not that good, unless it's taken some huge strides since last time I saw it. The voxel sculpting is really convenient, but lacks clarity, unless you go high res in which case you'd have similar problems to just starting at a high dynamesh res. Means you get a similar feeling at times, but you don't get the convenience…
