What I love the most about this software is the fact that the creator (Andrew) is ALWAYS listening to the community (about new features and bug fixing) and updating it in as soon as he can. Besides, there are some users in the forum who are constantly helping in troubleshooting
I own it, its very powerful, it can do some things many other software cant, it's cheap and supporting Ukrainian developers is always nice, but, the ui is not very friendly (to say the least) can be buggy at times and not many tutorials. Beyond that some workflows can be convoluted and cumbersome, switching "rooms" and so on. But for ehat it is, i think it's worth it, especially since it's perpetual license
The hand painting tools are great but sometimes I have trouble baking things, Substance Painter seems more reliable for that. 3D Paint is great for UV and has interesting sculpting tools though.
that baking issue is due to a uv overlay ... ive been trying to help them and also some troubles with triangles on baking , hopefully have it fixed soon
Tried the latest version and unfortunately it's still a bug fest with an almost dead forum and the videos are so boring that i used them to fall asleep! I only use it for destruction sculpting and 3D painting since it is where it truly shine. Be careful when you are asking questions on their forum or they will simply ignore you.
If you need accurate vertex tweaking do it in blender, if you want quick iterations for hard surface style sculpt without topology restriction then do it in 3d coat.
@@deuswulf6193 I use Blender and 3D coat and there are things you can do in 3D coat that are very-very difficult to do in blender. The real issue with 3D coat is there are not of tutorials for it. I never used substance 3D so I can't comment on it.
@@dougwarner59 I use both as well, though off and on. I'm not sure I would say it is more difficult in blender, just depends on what you are trying to do I suppose. 3D Coat has been a spotty experience outside of hand painted texturing. Not the cleanest results if you use the voxel workflow for pulling out hard surface detail. Going back to blender, are you leveraging addons like Mesh Machine? There are quite a few good and simple workflow addons that make it super easy.
I've got an old version of this in my steam library, but it didn't support my spacemouse, so didn't use it much. I tried the 2024 3dcoatprint version (the free version meant for 3d printing) and it keeps crashing every time i try to launch it, so not a great first impression on the new version, I guess i'll have to try again.
Please be specific. Just broad generalizations such as yours (it's horrible & clunky) doesn't inform anyone, especially the developers, who could do something about it, if you would explain exactly what your issues are with it. Many ZBrush users have fussed about it's alien UI for years, but that didn't stop it from being a very successful application.
Interesting, the UI is what I feel comfortable, much greater than zb. I can leave 3d coat months without touching it and com back and still be familiar with the hotkeys and menus.
There are HUNDREDS of tutorials on the 3DCoat UA-cam Channel (search by playlist to find what you are looking for), a Anton Tenitsky's UA-cam Channel is a partner channel, with a ton of 3DCoat content. So, please stop repeating the same old (false) claim that their are "few" tutorials for 3DCoat. A little bit of effort searching UA-cam and Google, will provide a wealth of tutorials for it.
1st comment!!! Amazing video!!! Pin pls

Andrew doesn't sound like a particularly Ukrainian name, are we sure this is Ukrainian? 🤔
I didn't even know it was such an all in one. I'm in love with the VDM creator and the add geometry functions

avoid sharp angle(90 or < 90 degree) or it will cause artifacts.
Tried to get into it last week, but most of the tutorials were 3-4 years old and the creators of those tutorials had moved to blender ;s
Good video!
Thank you.
it seats between blender and zbrush and substance painter..
the spline painting and painting is what i liked about 3d coat
Some laptop configurations that can use 3d coat smoothly are recommended
How well does it run on Linux?
I’m glad the developer has avoided the troubles in Ukraine.

Can you do a more direct comparison between this and blender for hardsurface modelling?
If you need accurate vertex tweaking do it in blender, if you want quick iterations for hard surface style sculpt without topology restriction then do it in 3d coat.
@@fkdump Pretty sure you can do the same in Blender as well. Also Substance 3D covers this space even better, though that's adobe.

The new 2024 does support space mouse.
Free alternative?
Hi Inspiration tut, can you pls make a video about ziva vfx killed by unity, they discontinued it
👍

The UI is horrible and the controls are clunky.

@@dnashj33 unlikely the devs will read and act upon this random UA-cam comment.

Amazing features, no other software have so many excellent industry grade tools. BUT: hard to learn, even harder to master. UX is horrible.
Cool software from Ukraine !!!!
too bad they offer the non comercial version only to students
NOT beginner friendly. Lack of tutorials, proper support and plenty of bugs. Why should I pay for beta

Completely agree. I tried learning it, but even on their website most of the tutorials are 9 or 10 years old.
