There have been many new feature addition videos, including the recent changes to the Sketch Tool, and the new Retopo Mesh Update (to conform to Voxel model when you need to go back and make large scale changes to the Voxel Model) feature. There are also some covering the 3DConnexion device support. Be sure to check them out.

Recently added the Tutorial on creating Layer Masks. Thought most users would find it very helpful, as it's a rather obscure feature. It's not mentioned in the Manual, and almost no way for a user to discover it on their own.

AbnRanger, I see you recently added some new videos to the Official YouTube Channel. :)

I've got some catching up to do. Thanks so much for making these.

Thanks. Trying to get some series finished up and a Visual Guide to LiveClay.

Hi

Any tuto link about Retopo Room - new bake feature:

- Spheres of influence setup

and how to setup zones with real examples ?

Ty in advance :D

Uploading it now...kind of a "Video Guide to Happy Baking." Some more from the Common Workflows series. Wanted to do more sculpting, but the videos ran long enough as it is. Stay tuned. Next item up is LiveClay series and complete workflow series, building the Banshee model from scratch in Voxels > Retopo > UV > Paint Room.

Here is a tip, that I thought would be helpful. When trying to make a brush selection for tools like Angulator, Smoother, Vox Layer, Vox Extrude and Subdivide, it can be very slow. I mentioned this to Andrew, so hopefully he can multi-thread it so that it's not such an issue. Nevertheless, a good work around is using sticky keys.

Thanks for the kind words. It's a tough balancing act between trying to keep things concise and narrowly focused, and explaining things well enough for new users to understand. There have been some new Retopo-oriented videos (including the usage of the new improvements to the Auto-Retopo toolset) added to the "Intro to 3D Coat series." There are a few tips added to help anyone who wants to split the work on a model between manual retopo tools and Auto-Retopo. Also a quick tip on retopologizing otherwise tricky areas, like Eye or Mouth Cavities...these are hard to work on with the manual retopo tools, because the work area is largely obscured.

 

You can see some emphasis on using the Strokes tool as much as possible, because it is a powerful Auto-Retopo tool in it's own right....in fact, I would recommend using it for roughly 80-90% of the model, if Auto-Retopo doesn't quite suit the task. There is also a brief demo of using the Kitbashing toolset to add another powerful option to Retopologize your model.

I finally figured out how to arrange the layout on the Youtube Channel (they make drastic changes so often, it's hard to keep up with), so one can easily locate the playlist they want to peruse. There are different sections, like "Recent Uploads" and such. The "Playlist" section was hidden and hard for viewers to figure out how to find what they were looking for.

 

Now, the very first section is the "Playlist." From there, it's something like Chapters, if you will. Feature Demos, Intro to 3D Coat, Psionic's tut's, Voxel Sculpting, Retopo, etc. Hope it helps.
