What you will learn

Know how to use manual retopo tools in 3D Coat

Know how to use auto retopo tools in 3D Coat

Know how to manage multiple retopo and UV sets as well as their limitations

Learn to use free scripts to help manage the process

Know how to export the UVd meshes for painting

Why take this course?

The course is the process of unwrapping a robot model which I did in another Udemy course - Hard Surface Modeling and Sculpting Course in 3D Coat. It covers everything you need to know to get useful geometry and UVs from voxels.

Its a big job and I discover some surprises on the way, like not having enough graphics card memory and how to resolve the issue and how to use scripts to manage what becomes a pretty enormous list of retopo and UV parts.

I thought I knew 3D Coat inside out, but I learned a lot from this process,l including some little known workflows, and you will too.

This is not a course on general 3D retopo best practices but more about how to manage retopo and UV worflows in 3d coat when dealing with many many scene objects.

I really like Scott's lectures because they really demonstrate the hard work involved with doing this stuff in a realistic manner. He goes through the same processes over and over... and while it's sometimes painful to watch... it's authentic and not overly polished. My only request is that he would be more comprehensive with demonstrating the toolset and not just the few tools that he relies on.

Not really, the tutors waffle on about unrelated things, with complicated models so that its more difficult to understand the process. one tutor didnt even rename and organise his layers and it was a complete mess to watch. Overall im pretty disappointed and am so glad i did not pay full price.

It clarified the procedure of performing retopo in a systematic approach especially with complex objects. It elevated the steep learning curve of understanding the procedural workflow of creation, retopo, UV mapping, and texturing all within 3D Coat.

Very good. I'm new to 3D Coat and found this course to be very helpful. The best thing about this course is that the instructor works through unanticipated problems where as other courses can be very staged and sterile and not much use.

Great teaching, although it becomes confusing at times. Good value for money if purchesed with another course !

There are too much repetitions. I don't think it is necessary to show the retopo for every single part of the model. The video could have been much shorter. Because of the poor organization of the Voxel tree from the beginning of the modeling in the other video, sometimes the viewer gets confused and can't figure out what is going on.

Great and thorough course. I will probably watch it several times. The instructor is very clear and knowledgable.

Instructor is great natured, and not immune to mistakes (human!!), then shows how to solve them. Shows several ways to achieve the desired results, even if through trial and error. As a noob to 3D Coat, I find his overall nature not too overly technical, he thinks similar to me and seems to have fun with the project. Many thanks for the time and effort put into this.
