so, i want to know what you guys think.
i test and train a bit around with the new beta of 3d-coat (my texturing tool), it has a new sculpting tool.
i have never realy sculpt in a program before.

nice for a first go! but concentrate more on form than surface detail

mr_ace: thx. i work on this. but its hard to work on such a different way. before i have first model the lowpoly and texture it after, real sculpting was never an option.

His form is fine from what I can see?

cool work, yeah Ive been doing some testing of 3D coat and the quadrangulation Im wondering wether it might be a good idea to make my basemesh shape in 3Dcoat and quadrangulate then sculpt in mudbox. It means Im not limited in my ideas and time as much as I would be when making a basemesh in a modelling app

nice for a first sculpt. i agree with mr ace though. your surface detail is mayble a little too far ahead compared to the body. you might want to add a little more definition to the body first before you go into those kinds of details.

Ged: hey, its good to see an other one, who used this little russian tool. ^^

Aaronindhouse: i know, i start an other model for testing.
but its like i say before, its very different of the technic i used before.

here some screens.

I own 3dcoat 2 and find it very primitive compared to MB and ZB. I am anxiously awaiting the upgrade to three, however.

I thought it was still in Alpha and would not allow files to be written.

Codeman: nope, you can export your model or texture. you can do all things in the alpha, it only have bugs. ^^

yes version 2 is very primitive, but i think version 3 could be a great alternative to MB and ZB.
