So I ponied up for 3D Coat and I'm working through various tutorials and trying to figure out the retopology tools. The snapping, in particular, is hard to get a handle on right now. I've been searching high and low for decent tutorials but the reality is that the water is REALLY muddy since they added the automatic…
I'm not sure on versions or anything, but I had a quick look through this video and it seems to be what you are looking for (manual retopo). [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kj0ZYKhqrr0"]toad 3D Coat retopo tutorial Part 1 - YouTube[/ame]
