My workflow is creating a base object in Maya, which I then send over to ZBrush to DynaMesh, smooth edges and apply surface detail. Blender (or ZBrush) ─ 3D Coat Blob.I'm currently modelling my grandad's old camera, and I'm having some difficulty creating the leather surface that's on the case. Any corrections are much welcomed, thanks in advance.
I hope I'm heading in the right direction. I'm trying to make a list of sculpting brush analogies between brushes in Blender (and sometimes ZBrush) and 3D-Coat. I’ve also started a thread at the 3DC forum trying to determine 3DC equivalents to Blender / ZBrush brushes: 3DCoat Forums 3D-Coat sculpting brush analogies The object layers are like a marriage between ZB subtools and objects in Blender’s Outliner.Īmong the things on my 3DC to-do list is trying out the 3D-Coat Applink add-on for Blender. And the hierarchical object layers make working with objects a breeze. Among other things, the new brush engine feels better than the old one, the UI has been slightly improved, the amount of different brushes for the Voxel mode and the Surface mode has been reduced, resulting in a more seamless experience in switching between the Voxel and Surface modes.īut there are also a lot of small but pleasant refinements everywhere, such as: when you use Shift to snap to a view, the view doesn’t freeze like in ZBrush, but you can still pan the snapped view to your liking. I’ve been watching video tutorials and experimenting with 3D-Coat all weekend, and I must say that I’m getting more and more enthusiastic. 3DCoat Forums 3DCoat ForumsģD Coat forum ✅ 3D Sculpting community ✓modeling ✓sculpting ✓printing ✓rendering ➨Go to topic discussion They’re great platforms for finding answers to your 3DC questions. Here’s a 3DC forum thread where I ask a number of questions, most of which have been answered by the 3DC community.Īlso check out the 3D Coat forum and the 3D Coat Discord channels. I usually delete all entries I don’t use, keeping it tidy. When customizing navigation controls, be sure check duplicate hotkeys, as that can interfere with your navigation hotkeys. I’ve submitted a brush analogy post to the 3D-Coat forum, comparing brushes between Blender and 3D-Coat. Voxel sculpting is more suitable for concepting, while Surface mode is for detailing.

Surface mode is 3D-Coat’s Dyntopo / Sculptris Pro type dynamic mesh topology mode, while Voxel mode is real-time voxel sculpting.
I personally prefer the Surface type brushes, which also tend to behave better in Voxel mode. Some brushes are a bit older, but others have been improved during the past years. One of the important things is finding the right brushes. This is also very beneficial for working with high-polygon scenes. The FPS rate should now significantly reduce. If the FPS rate is high, go to Preferences ➔ Viewport, and check the box “Vertical synchronization”. If you notice that your GPU is working hard when running 3D Coat, even with a simple scene, check the FPS rate at the bottom left of the UI.

Here are some instructive 3D-Coat video tutorial channels I advise to view, then try what you’ve learned in 3D Coat, to build muscle memory: ─ Here’s a Blender Artists discussion about the add-on(s). Simple 3D Coat, a fork by Check out this post for more info. There are two versions of the 3D-Coat applink for Blender: In essence, 3D Coat’s Voxel layers are comparable with Blender Voxel Remesh or ZBrush Dynamesh (revoxelizing and reprojecting to build volume with evenly distributed faces), and Surface layers are like dynamically working with meshes in Blender Dyntopo or ZBrush Sculptris Pro (adding polygon detail where you brush). Some things have been improved since I used version 4.9, such as the brush engine, some UI elements, and the amount of different brushes for Voxel mode and Surface mode has been reduced, making switching between Voxel and Surface layers easier. It’s an affordable long-time ZBrush competitor, and I quite like it. I’ve been spending time rediscovering 3D-Coat lately. If you’d like to talk about ZBrush, please do so in the dedicated thread, thanks. In my humble opinion, next to Blender’s Sculpt Mode, right now the most interesting ZBrush alternatives are: In the light of the changes for ZBrush users since the Maxon takeover (forced subscription, price increases), this thread is aimed at discussing 3D-Coat as a useful companion application next to Blender.
