What you'll learn

By the end of this course, you will have learned the user interface, understand 3D Coat's terminology, including what voxels are, and be able to move between the major functions of the program.

Requirements

Just an internet connection. No materials or software are required, but following along with at least a trial version of 3D Coat will help.

Description

The purpose of this course is to introduce you to a magnificent multi-purpose 3D modeling tool, called 3D Coat (I cover this using version 4.0.04B). With this program, you can sculpt hard and organic surface creations using Voxels, retopologize your sculptures, UV unwrap them, paint directly on them (while baking high-poly details onto lower poly meshes, and export in a number of formats). This course includes almost 4 hours of instruction and is aimed at beginners to advanced 3D hobbyists and professionals who want to get familiar with 3D Coat for the first time. Students will receive custom user interface themes created by the instructor, as a bonus.

Who this course is for:

This course is intended for NEW TO ADVANCED USERS wishing to get familiar with 3D Coat for the first time.

Rob teaches like I do, so really for me 5 stars personally. One thing that he does as do I is that he tends to just go a hair in over explaining. I don't hold this against him, as like I stated, I do it also. Its something that he should work on as do I. I tend to practice what I am going to say in the lessons and them record them, and or record them about 3 times so I can use the most polished one. Good introduction though, and I like 3D Coat over Z Brush also.

I have been an IT professional for many years. I have also been designing and coding websites for small to medium-sized businesses. In addition, I have a degree in Game Art and Design.

I have a passion for learning, so I hope to be able to pass some of my knowledge onto others. If helping at least a few people get further in their skills, knowledge, or profession, then I've done my job. Keep learning and helping others!
