It's just mind-boggling to hear folks complain that 3D Coat can't model/sculpt hardsurface objects.when there are videos and gallery images full of examples of it doing just that. Brushing by hand is always inaccurate.so use precision tools for precision jobs. Don't blame the application if you are using the wrong tool for the wrong task. You do realize that you can lay down a spline with the spline stroke draw mode > scale the brush radius' accordingly > with the Pinch tool selected hit the ENTER key.and get a nice clean result. I can do a better job with a better tool (for the task). Why? Cause my hand is not all that steady. Is this such a hard concept to grasp? Likewise, if I'm trying to create a nice crease/edge on a hard surface object, I'm not even thinking about trying to use a brush. If I need a clean cut along a piece of paper or fabric, I'm going to use a ruler and exacto knife, rather than scissors. If I need to drill a screw, I don't reach for a hammer. In any case: I'm glad you can make it work, I was merely hilighting the fact that I'm not the only one feeling the limit of 3dc on this particular topic.
3DCOAT ERASER BRUSH UPGRADE
Yeah I'm probably one of those retards trying to sculpt hard surface stuff, you know, the way traditional sculptors do it.Īnyway, no I didn't do any video, I'm currently nearing the end of my v4 trial, I don't intend to upgrade seing 3dc doesn't meet my requirement as a sculpting tool, and I'm still in pain from a broken ankle and torn muscles thus can't spend much time in front of the computer. You can ofc get super crips edges by deactivaing removestretching with pinch (I'm talking about surface mode, voxel is anoter issue) but you'll either destroy your planes on each side of your edge, or get wavy edges. You can't make clean, well defined edges with smooth surface the way you would sculpt hard surface objects with clay. You need enough resolution to maintain the edge, when you hit SMOOTH ALL. I don't understand some of the angst here, with sharp edges. I don't have problems getting a hard edge and have been using the tools for years. Make whatever modifications you need to the remaining portion, and when you go to the voxel menu to choose "unhide" you should have a nice sharp crease/edge. In voxels, you can use the Plane tool, or Hide tool (use the Closed spine tool to select the area to preserve, and hit the ENTER key). Once you do, save it in the Preset panel (Click the little arrow in the upper lefthand portion of the panel and choose "Add Preset"). You may want to experiment with the different brush alphas, You can even create your own brush (alpha) profile (click the + icon in the brush pallet), Falloff amount, and even brush size to get the desired effect. You also have CreaseClay (Surface Mode) which does a great job.you can hold the control key to make an outward crease/hard edge. Just enough resolution to keep the edge when you hit "Smooth All."Īre you trying to get a hard edge as you are using sculpting brushes? Use the Pinch tool in Voxels or the Pinch tool in Surface mode. There is an Increase Res icon at the bottom of the VoxTree panel. What exactly are you trying to do? Keep hard edges on hardsurface models you bring in? Simple.add resolution to the layer before you ever commit the object to a layer (ENTER key or hit APPLY in the Tool Options Panel). Well, I suggested the tool(s) I would use in that case.but I didn't mention what I would use for sculpting, because it didn't sound like that was what you were asking for. It sounded as if you needed it on something hardsurfaced. It's also not clear what exactly are you needing hard edges on. I just use the pinch tool when I need a sharp edge. Please stop bashing the app if you aren't willing to back it up with some video showing where it's failing. Please record something to show where your problem is. Beat just complained about this recently, and I spent time recording a video recently showing you how easy I got a crisp edge simply using the Pinch tool in Voxels.
3DCOAT ERASER BRUSH TRIAL
Good to hear, so i could stop my trial and error with the pinch brush. Only Cutoff, a base besh from an other app or only modify the shape with the pose tool, could create/keep sharp edges with 90 degrees.Ĭhissel, flatten and other tools are not recommned. As far as i see, it is impossible to create a sharp edge with the common sculpting tools.
