It's funny that you said this Tony, because this is a reproduction of a bauble that was very popular and wide-spread during socialist times of Poland. I don't know if it is because it was part of a set (and there were just a few sets of baubles available in Poland in the 80's) or for some other reason. But what I'm sure of, is that most of Polish families have at least one dusty mushroom bauble stored somewhere in their cellar or attic. :)

Well I've been out of 3d Coat for the last few months, trying learn C++. OK I'm a retard. It's really really hard.  :wacko:

 

 

But I decided to take a break and installed the very latest build of 3d Coat, 4.5 Beta v5. 

I was thinking of building some maquettes that I could use to practice on for hair and skin, maybe learning the vertex painting routine, so I made a male head in a couple hours just out of my imagination, no reference photos at all, then just now I decided to give him a sister, so I duplicated him and smoothed his features, moved them down on the head a bit and made the nose and jaw smaller.

I was being bothered by the question of knurling on steel objects and so I started playing with it in a variety of manners. Finally I came to 3d coat and started playing with its voxel booleans, using a beveled cylinder I'd made and then trying to use the axial tool in combination with the pose tool to wrap cutting edges around the cylinder diagonally which proved to be futile.

Digman took me in hand and showed me several of my errors, not the least of which was trying to used a dysfunctional 13A beta that was installed on top of many other versions and not working properly as a result. A fresh install and then making my cutting tools into models which were then put in place with the Symmetry tool that allowe numerous (45?) copies.

That finally got me straight but then I got an introduction to PBR and the new render room which I must say really surprised and impressed me. Zbrush has nothing like this.

 

Old Gun Metal is very nice and now I'm looking forward to this new PBR business quite a bit.

No Maya, just straight up 3d Coat which is a pleasure to work with once you know  what you're doing.

 

 

And when Andrew is finished with all this PBR stuff I hope he brings in a full set of Polygon and Open Sub D modeling tools and polygonal hair tubes on splines...I really don't want to have to learn a whole bunch of other programs' work flows to make the stuff I want. I'd like to just do everything seamlessly in 3d Coat. Oh yes and when Pixar Renderman 19 comes out I hope someone makes a nice 3d Coat bridge to it  It would be nice to have better deformers too.

 

That would be awesome.

 

:D

First post in the WIP forum:

One-day work in Maya and imported it into 3D coat for further sculpting. What do you guys/girls, think so far?

 

 

 

 

When I first started with 3d coat I used to do my prepatory work in Maya too. Now I'm far more inclined to do it all in 3d coat. 

 

You should overcome your aversion to it and just try working from scratch in 3d coat; you'll learn it's toolset faster that way.

Yeah, Im learning the sculpting tools and they work way better than Maya 2016 new sculpting tools. Now Im trying to do the sofa from scratch in 3D Coat :)

I was planning to use 3D Coat for smoothing out the cornes on my objects from Maya and adding details. EDIT: Heres the first try on a sofa model from scratch:
