The basic order ignoring all the other things you can do on the side (like painting stuff made in another software etc) is scuplting, retopo, UVmap/bake, painting. Your basically going to need to go from room to room and learn each room starting with the sculpting room which is the entire purpose of 3dcoat is to make "stuff". Ziggy had similar reactions when he first opened it and I emailed him a bunch of screenshots and explained the rooms to sort of guide him to figure out where to start, but you will need to go through their tutorials to show what buttons do what. I realize all the more that without some help I'd be totally dead in the water here. Your tutorial provides everything I need to figure this out, I'm just going to have to work harder than the young man trapped inside this old body wanted to work. I think I just got blindsided by one of those life moments when I was forced to realize that even when I'm being spoon fed, information doesn't sink in like it once did. I shouldn't have made my last post because it must have sounded critical of your tutorial, which is very good. If you think this one is difficult, you're not going to like the 2nd one. Almost all of the 2nd one is in the Retopo room, and the 3rd is mainly in the Paint room. I spend almost all of this first tutorial in the Sculpt room. The Room selections are fixed, along the top left (Paint, Tweak, Retopo, UV, Sculpt, Render). Also remember that 3D Coat tends to 'jump' move the tool menu (on the left) so sometimes it hides what I've selected - can't do much about that. Also, these videos are not for complete noobs, only noobs They assume this isn't the very first time you've ever used 3D Coat (there are much simpler tutorials for that). The room I'm in and the tool I'm using are highlighted in orange at all times (and I tried to remember to name them as I used them each time). You've done an excellent job of creating these tutorials and now it's on the audience to exercise due diligence in following along I'll watch several more times with the software open, and try to duplicate your steps by stopping the video to see where your mouse is clicking. But then, my first watch was without having 3D-coat open trying to follow along. It isn't even obvious to me which of the buttons I'd select at startup to access the room you're working in. As a newbie, I lost track of your menu selections almost immediately, and stayed lost throughout the video. You do a good job of explaining the reasoning behind your process choices, but you assume we know enough about the software to follow along with your menu selections. and in my case you can't under estimate the depths of my ignorance. I appreciate the time you've put into this! One problem with all tutorials is tailoring it to the stupidity level of your audience. Ziggy, I just watched thru this for the first time. Farscaper I know what you mean - someone could interfere with my tentacles, and that's not cool. From there you can find your way to more advanced programs like blender if you need.

Maybe another time I will try the next 6 minutes. ![]() Keep making the tutorials maybe one day I will have an idea of what it is all about. It looks like fun, but I better stick with my day job for now, because this is way out of my league. I got as far as 6 minutes and felt my head spinning since I have no clue how you are doing any of that. And how fair would it be if I somehow created a Zoidberg avatar and tried to interact in some way with ziggy72? I'd feel like an idiot or 二死了。 ![]() It would almost be self-flagellation if we weren't certain that the tailor could surely have the skills to needle the wearer. )īut imagine the indignity of being insulted or otherwise attacked by some avatar wearing the very outfit you yourself created. Maybe it would be better to just remain friends. then we could take turns making episodes that skewer one another. Each person could create and contribute a Muvizu character for him/herself. I liked the representation of yourself and immediately thought it would be fun to create an ongoing saga starring the active forum members. Parts 2 & 3 should be up by the end of the week. Good job and thanks for taking the time to do it for us. As long as you are one step ahead of me I've got something to learn. If we were good we wouldn't be looking at tutorials. WooHoo! Thanks for this, Ziggy! Can't wait to dive in! You couldn't have produced this at a better time since I just bought 3D coat and I'm a bit bogged down in the learning curve.
