From the author of “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies”, comes a new really cool book called “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter”! It looks pretty neat. You can check out the trailer below. Can’t wait to read this one.

Thanks to all who purchased during the discount sale! It is officially over, and the price is now returned to the still very low price of $20 USD.

For those that are interested, there is an update to the wonderful little application for Nintendo DS homebrew called Animanatee, up to v1.5b.

There have been a rather large number of new features in recent versions of Animanatee that I have seemed to missed due to my busy schedule! I highly recommend checking out the updates if you have any previous version, and if you don’t know what Animanatee is well… Let me tell you!

Simply put, Animanatee is a 2D animation package for the Nintendo DS. It is only available through a homebrew cartridge. The application is entirely free of cost to end users. I highly recommend it to any animation whom needs to practice or do quick drafts of their animations, and for those whom are also learning. It’s been an invaluable tool to me, to learn the skills needed for animation.

I’ve also been watching the recordings of Jason Ryan Animation Webinar, and putting to use his teachings on this little screen. So thanks to both Jason Ryan and the developer of Animanatee!

I was recently approached by Pilgway regarding donations. They get many requests but cannot accept them, and so, they asked me if I would be willing to accept donations they would refer to me for improving 3D-Coat video training. I accepted their offer and have set up the 3D-Coat Free Training Fund. You can donate if you wish, right HERE or by clicking the Donate button below.

Thank you to the Pilgway team for this offer!

I’ve recorded a new video on the work flow between LW to 3DC and back to LW, for the sculpting of morph maps. I take a mesh created in LW, sculpt a morph map in 3DC, then bring ‘er back over to LW for use. All in all a simple method, but there are a few points worth noting in the video. Check it out.

Or view them on their respective site locations below.

To anyone that is curious about how Ptex is looks or works in 3D-Coat, the most recent build (3.2.02) has been posted and contains the first iteration of it.

You can download or read more about it HERE.

Pilgway and I are happy to announce the republication of the DVD training  for 3D-Coat, entitled “Voxel Sculpting in 3D-Coat v3: The Alas Armor Suit (w/3.2 Addendum)”. This training contains 20+ hours of training, and will take you through nearly every voxel sculpting tool in 3D-Coat v3. We’ll also talk about methods, techniques and some workflow philosophies in 3D-Coat. I cover a bit of both organic and hard-surface sculpting, how to create brushes for 3D-Coat in Photoshop, and also how to use 3D object files to achieve more complex objects.

Gideon Klindt designed the character used in this project based DVD, the futuristic Alas Armor Suit.  You can find more outstanding character designs and artwork from Gideon at www.gideonklindt.com.

The DVD contains videos in .mp4 format which can be played directly on your computer with just about any OS (Windows, Linux (many flavors) & Mac) with VLC Player. At the moment I am only distributing this DVD digitally. The digital version is on sale NOW, and can be purchased by clicking the “Buy now” button below! (Stay tuned for a physical distro) Also a noteworthy mention: I’ve recorded and am accompanying an almost 25 minute addendum for changes up to 3D-Coat v3.2!

7Zip is also needed to decompress the files, which can be downloaded from HERE. I also recommend using VLC Player, as it is supported on Win, Linux & Mac. You can download it HERE.

Not sure if you want to buy? I have about 45 minutes of preview material you can view HERE!

By purchasing, you agree to the terms of use. Got more questions? Check out the FAQ.

I’m a little slow to the gate on this one (Been rather busy, as shall soon be obvious), but it’s still worth a huge mention! 3D-Coat v3.2 was released earlier this week, if you don’t have your update yet, or if you want to try the demo, you can download it right now from HERE.

You can also read more about the new features and tools, right HERE.

Congratulations to the Pilgway team!

I’ve updated the 3D-Coat Video Manual with the new recent additions to the voxel sculpting tools. The Voxel Surface Sculpting tools in 3D-Coat allow for  much faster strokes while sculpting, with a minimal downtime. Not to mention the new Sf.Freeze tool, which allows for masking with your brush strokes!

The new videos can be found HERE!

If you haven’t checked out the newest version of 3D-Coat, simply head over to THIS SITE and download the most recent demo!
