SOFTIMAGE|Ueber Tage 2010

Mon, 19 Jul 2010 13:18:34 +0000

Hello together,

this announcement is indeed for german softimage users, but I guess, I can post it here, too.

On September, the 24. we arrange the fourth softimage user meeting in germany called SOFTIMAGE|Über Tage.

The special, and the reason why I post it here, too:
I will present the latest 3D Coat version there and show some tips and tricks.
Furthermore we have invited some really interesting speakers from germay and europe.

So, everyone who comes from germany or a german speaking country and is interested to meet collegues from the industry, inform about new cg techniques or making ofs, is invited to visit our user meeting.

Application desired!
Reason: The user limit is 70 people and we have to book lunch for the visitors. The visit is for free.

At the following link you will find all infos and a registration form (german language) -> www.xsi-uebertage.de

Best wishes
Chris

3D-Coat v3 Voxel Sculpting DVD Training Re-released

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 11:19:24 +0000

Pilgway and I are happy to announce the republishing of the official voxel training DVD that was released last Autumn entitled, "Voxel Sculpting in 3D-Coat v3: The Alas Armor Suit (w/3.2 Addendum)". Also added is a new v3.2 addendum to bring it up to speed for the most part, with the new tools, changes in the application and general techniques to work with 3DC 3.2.

At the reasonable price of $20 USD, It's a pretty good deal for 22 + hours of video training. At the moment it is in digital distro only. I am still considering a physical disc, if I get enough requests for it.

For more information or to purchase, go HERE.

FREE Official 3D-Coat Training on Vimeo

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 08:07:24 +0000

Pilgway and I are happy to announce the launch of the new Official 3D-Coat Training Channel , on Vimeo! You can find the channel HERE.

This Channel will carry any free tutorials and training that we publish and is an invaluable resource for those new and existing users alike.

The first series of videos on this new channel, are a part of the new free Retopology Series. Series one, covers the retopology tools in use on a human head. Series two, covers the retopology tools in use on a spider creature. In these two Retopology Series I discuss and describe at great length topics such as: Edge flow, mesh topology for deformation & animation, and the use of specific retopology tools.

More videos will be added as time goes on. You can subscribe to the channel on Vimeo to get updates when new videos are posted

Coat on!

Please Read!! - Forum Kudos System

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 20:27:26 +0000

Hey everyone,

This forum system has a kudos system and it is not really being used at the moment.... We have it, so let's use it. I'm asking everyone here to be proactive about using it!

When to use it:

If you found someone particularly helpful on this forum
If you also liked some of their work they posted on the forums
Friendliness - For instance, if you're new to the forums, friendliness can go a long way when you're greeted by an old-timer

How to use it:

You can give someones post kudos by simply click on the + icon near the bottom right of their post. See the image below:

You can also give a user rating, which is separate from the kudos system. This can be done by clicking on the users name, then on the right hand side near the top, you'll see a user rating. See the next image:

Why use this?

Why not give some kudos to a user for giving a helping hand, or creating some good looking work in 3DC? This isn't about judging anyone or painting them in a negative light. It's also not to incite a flame war or argument, as the usage of the kudos system is entirely anonymous. Furthermore, it's not a voting system. You're not voting on anyone or anything.

There are lots of reasons to give someone a positive kudos! Also, the negative button is disabled so don't bother try using it. This is for positive feedback only!

As time goes on, we'll revise the usage of the system. It will also be under constant review of changes, if necessary.

Ok, that's it for now. Enjoy the forums.

PS- If you don't like the system - Don't use it.

Looking for the most recent build? Look no further.
