Rigid Dynamics Test in messiah:Studio
Because of some projects I am working on will be calling for dynamics, I’ve been strongly interested in easy but very good solutions for dynamics in 3D applications. Luckily for me Recoil for Modo has just released last week, and is a strong contender for me. But instead of purchasing yet more software, I instead opted to try out the dynamics in software that I already own, pmG’s messiah:Studio. I found the dynamics for rigid bodies to be pretty decent, and with some research, not too difficult to set up and use. Below is a very brief video on the rigid dynamics in messiah at work.
New 3D-Coat Training: Voxel Sculpting|Running Shoe
I’m very happy to announce my newest 3D-Coat training video, Voxel Sculpting|Running Shoe! This video is a culmination of months worth of research and exploring (in close communication with the design team at a large shoe design/manufacturing firm) if 3D-Coat can be used in a more design and rapid prototyping environment. Safe to say, I think it is well suited for such a thing. Andrew Shpagin, the developer of 3D-Coat, has added some new functionality to 3D-Coat based on some of my research into this area, which I discuss and demonstrate in this video.

This video series will take you from start to finish in the process of sculpting a shoe with 3D-Coat’s various tools and techniques, including voxels, surface mode and even some “kitbashing” with shoe nurnies/greebles. We’ll detail an outsole, create shocks, sculpt the body/casing of the shoe, sculpt seams, eyelets (for shoe laces) shoe tongue, and more. We’ll use a number of established creation methods in 3D-Coat, as well as a few new ones.
You can read a little or watch a few videos to find out more about the series at the following URL:
