3D Coat UV Mapping - The UV Path Tool 

Awesome T Rex btw

Yup it is actually fun to retopo in 3dcoat.

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words. I hope I can keep these interesting and useful. As always suggestions are welcome too!

@@industrytuts5272 Anything on the new modelling tools would be welcome :)

@@jaaferelsadig Yea, been meaning to do one around the modeling tools in 3D Coat. I'll try and put something together soon. Keep the suggestions coming 👍

@@jaaferelsadig I have a new video covering some basic modeling coming online shortly. Keep an eye out for it✌

@@industrytuts5272 Fantastic! Just saw it thank youuu

Totally agree! I started my career in the game industry, and that was a real performance issue we had to work around years ago. Modern day game engines handle this so much better, but I still try and keep the same principles. Fewer cuts unless absolutely necessary. Plus, I actually have always enjoyed retopology and UVs. I may be the odd one out, since so many people really seem to dislike the process (I think it's mostly due to time constraints and deadlines thou). 😁

@@industrytuts5272 Ahaha, I 'm with you, I really like it too. There are few moments more satisfiying in the process than achieving a clean translation from a high poly to a low poly that is almost indistinguishable form your high. That said, with modern tools and engines, more time freed up for art than optimization is a huge plus. However, efficiency will always be important in game dev, it's facets only change and weights shift over time. Vertex Splits (sharp edges or UV seams) increasing the count won't likely change, they also have a severe impact on Unreal 5 Nanite meshes. Besides performance, build size is also still a concern, and with every split it will increase per asset. But yeah it is always a balance also. Too complex, no golden rules, but certainly good guides.

Thanks for the comment, really appreciate it. I'll be making some new videos on building layered smart materials. Not sure if that's something you'd be interested in but thought I would mention it here 👍

@@industrytuts5272 Thank you for responding, I have been trying to learn how to properly master this software but as many of us know the oficial learning support is very poor and the few paid courses (Udemy) are apart from old ones very focused on modeling, if we add the criticisms received Because of other users, I have more doubts about purchasing them.

I am, and I absolutely love it. It's a game changer for me.

@Shubham Bhosale I'm using default settings. It's all about the 3d mouse.
