Reputable Contributor digman Posted January 21, 2015 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) A walk down memory lane before we get the official 3DC version 4.5 released. I remember those days before voxels, surface mode, retopo, PBR and the slew of powerful features added since then... I enjoyed 3DC back in 2007 and still enjoy it today! Way to go Andrew... Pipe up if you were around in those days... Oh yeah, back then it was called 3DBrush... Edited January 21, 2015 by digman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Marc Wakefield Posted January 21, 2015 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 I remember being completely amazed by it. I was so glad to have found it. I can not remember how I did though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member geo_n Posted January 21, 2015 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 I think I got if for 60 bucks. Saved me tons of time texturing even up to now. The only other option I had was bodypaint which was too expensive at that time. I am very thankful to Andrew for changing the way I work ever since then. Literally I'm healthier and happier now spending less hours in front of the computer because of tools that speed up work like 3dcoat.

Contributor Michaelgdrs Posted January 21, 2015 Contributor Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Software is amazing , especially for its price and continues support. Got really hooked from the first touch.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted January 21, 2015 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Yeah, I had been using a then dead app, called DeepPaint3D...which was really powerful in it's own right and had a UI very similar to Photoshop. It was the only other 3D texture painting app that allowed painting on multiple channels (depth, color and spec) simultaneously. But there were very almost no video tutorials for it, and it's parent company (Deep Hemisphere) just decided to stop developing it. It cost a few hundred dollars, so it wasn't cheap. Then came along this awkward looking little app that (late) Larry Shultz turned on to the Lightwave community. Even in early V3 beta stage, it was much better than what I had with Deep Paint, and BodyPaint was too expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psmith Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Those were the days of the "simple app" - the days when software like 3D-Coat "just worked". How refreshing it was! Greg Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor Tony Nemo Posted January 21, 2015 Contributor Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 I've had Bodypaint for years and would not dream of using since 3D-Coat made it's appearance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member The Candy-floss Kid Posted January 22, 2015 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 I love me retrospectives. Makes me want to hug everybody. I only discovered 3DC at the start of the version 3 cycle. It's been very liberating ever since. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philnolan3d Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 I found 3DC back then when I was looking for an alternative to z-brushes awful interface and It turns out found something better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
