More Information

The set 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 video set digitally.

A utility such as 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.

Product FAQ

Q: What other versions of 3D-Coat can I use to follow along this video?
A: While I used 3D-Coat version 3.5.10 in the video, the retopology tools have not changed much since the beginning of version 3. So you could safely use version 3+ to follow this video.

Q: You mention in this video that Modo doesn’t support smoothing groups, but Modo 501 does. What gives?
A: Yes Modo 501 does support smoothing groups with its Pixar Subdivision surfaces. I use the standard “meta-nurbs” subdivision surfaces in Modo, however the end application is Messiah Studio for this video, and this application supports only the “meta-nurbs” subdivision surfaces. If you were going directly from 3D-Coat to Modo, Maya, 3DSMax, etc., then you would have no problem and should be able to import from 3D-Coat to one of those applications directly. (Messiah Studio is being used for Animation)
