3DCOAT madness WAX EFFECT

[Tomaya]

hi
me too ! me too ! I want to try 3d coat , awsome ! Here is my first test , wax-candle effect ...
Question : i've done "export" (direct) to get the full mesh , is it possible to optimise it a bit without using the quadrangulate tool ?

Very cool candle effect. I'm gonna have to try 3DCoat also. Good job.

Hey Tomaya,very cool model and render.
Did you start from scratch or did you import a model to start with?

I asked the same question on the 3dcoat forum, and someone replied this to me:


"On xport using build 3.1.18 and upward there is polygon reduction that is very easy to use
Download from there http://www.3d-coat.c...?showtopic=3594" (http://www.3d-coat.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=3594)


Didn't have time to look into it yet though

Cheers

that's cool !
I've imported the model first then i've updated the voxels just one level , the resolution is really great , 7.5 M polys at the export ,very nice for sss cause it's a perfect closed mesh , good tool ...
Thanks Pascal , i'll try the new export...:thumbsup:

Outstanding work. Can you share the material you used in 3d coat? I've just now started with 3d coat.

[Tomaya]

Agree with you intervain ! the last one is ... let's say the most interesting , so StormRising , this is not 3d coat materials !!! (don't you say!) the last one is a Maxwell render , and the others , Vray SSS2 ...:o
