For more on Sketch based modelling tools I wrote an article. If you are looking for similar functionality in Blender the Quick Shape add-on looks promising.

I also tried Windows 10 free tool Paint 3D early on but it was far too limited unfortunately, although I like the focus on ease of use. Some 3D models I made using Smoothie 3D using my Illustrations For something similar but more advanced and versatile than Smoothie 3D there is Curvy 3D Go. Smoothie 3D is developed by the same person who made it and it more up to date.

3D COAT TUTORIAL BEGINNER UPDATE

I didn’t have to learn retopology or UV mapping, it did that bit for me before I had even learned what that was.Įdit Feb 2021: Archipelis Designer may not work very well anymore though, it hasn’t been updated for ages and last time I used it the image import didn’t seem to work so I guess a Windows update broke it. This approach gave me fast results with minimum of effort. I could use my Illustration as a guide for drawing out the model in separate parts. I found Archipelis Designer and Smoothie 3D easy and fun to use. I haven’t got anything like that in mind though, I’m more interested in fantasy and more organic scenes. Maybe if I was making a comic with lots of interior scenes in a modern setting that would be an interesting and perhaps better way of doing it than using Blender. I really liked the ability to place 3D objects with the floor plan.Ī step up from Room Arranger would be something like Home Designer by Chief Architect. I learned about making floor plans in Room Arranger though which was useful.

Room Arranger was fun and easy to use but a little too basic for what I wanted to do. I even tried one that was designed for casual interior decorators called Room Arranger.

3D COAT TUTORIAL BEGINNER SOFTWARE

Getting into 3Dīefore I decided to learn professional 3D software such as Blender and 3D Coat I had dipped my toe in the water with software that was easier to use such as Archipelis Designer, Smoothie 3D and Magica Voxel. Learning 3D has made me look at the world differently and opened up new ideas. It helped me understand more about the 3D form, materials, perspective, lighting and shadows which I have applied to my digital painting knowledge. It is a hobby and creative outlet for me at this stage (I really love 3D). I didn’t want the pressure of thinking I had to make money with it.ĭoing something completely different from what I usually do (drawing and digital painting) gives me more creative ideas and energy. When learning a new skill I like to approach it with an open mind and have fun with it more than anything else. I’ve written an article about the workflow for creating 3D models here. I believe it was worth the time and effort to learn Blender and 3D Coat and I’m still learning. I tried other courses such as CG Cookie and watched videos on YouTube as well. Once I learned the basic workflow for creating 3D objects through practice and repetition things felt a lot easier to do and it even became fun to do.

3D COAT TUTORIAL BEGINNER HOW TO

To help me learn and retain knowledge I made a personalised codex of notes for remembering hotkey functions and how to do certain processes. I eventually convinced myself that it would be worth learning it and bought some beginner tutorials off of the Udemy website.īoth programs felt friendlier after I learned how to navigate in 3D space and use the user interface. I would open the software, take one look and then close it again. I found that the learning curve was steep and for several years prior to actually learning it I was too intimidated to even try. I’ve been learning Blender and 3D Coat since late 2018. This article describes how I gradually overcame my fear of using 3D software and lists some 3D tools here: Solutions for making 3D art easier. 3D software can be intimidating to beginners.
