About This Course

Get familiar with 3D Coat's interface, major features, and terminology.

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.

  • 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.

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...

This is a good overview of 3D Coat and it's features, covering the application's strengths and weakness. It pairs well with Alienminefield's youtube tutorial as well. However, this course covers a wider range of subjects and goes slightly more in depth in covering 3D Coat's tools and functions.

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 found myself wishing the instructor would try working from a script. The point of working from a script is that it makes you work *on* a script. The coherence and brevity of a presentation generally improve if you think hard about what you're going to say or show before you say or show it. Very few of us are any damned good at winging it through even mildly complicated topics.

Few practical examples, so we get a lot of content that ends in oblivion.
I believe the course name should be changed from
Introduction to 3D Coat for 3D Coat Presentation.
There is no introduction to the program but its demonstration, its strengths, failures and general functioning.
For those who do not know the program is a great way to meet, but for those who already know and want to learn how to use (my case) helps very little.

Poucos exemplos práticos, então temos muito conteúdo que termina no esquecimento.
Acredito que o nome do curso deva ser alterado de
Introduction ao 3D Coat for 3D Coat Presentation.
Não há introdução ao programa, mas sua demonstração, seus pontos fortes, fracassos e funcionamento geral.
Para quem não conhece o programa é uma ótima maneira de conhecer, mas para quem já conhece e quer aprender a usar (meu caso) ajuda muito pouco.
