Best free sculpting for beginners software. 2024. mudbox vs zbrush vs blender vs 3Dcoat. ZBrush core 

3d coat has its own strength. especially if you want to hand paint your character. the problem is that there is not many tutorials for it, but EVERY IMPORTANT technique you see on other software can be applied in 3d coat. all you need to do is learn its interface and workflow , and you will be fine. zbrush has become too expensive, and blender is clunky. i still prefer zbrush for sculpting, hand paint on substance painter, for the time being.

You should try again, because it can DEF handle more than Blender. And even if for some strange reason you cant get it to work, you can still use it for retopo, and Texture painting. Its more than worth its asking price just for those two. But i assure you, it was user error, not the program. When i first had used it, i didnt use it correctly either. I made the resolution too high, Voxels are different.

What version did you use? In my experience my 3d coat is laggy if I don't activate the license, but I am on linux, once I activate the license it's smooth like butter.

Clickbait title.

You can't go wrong with zbrush, 3dcoat is another cheap alternative but with mudbox, it's a bit of work and research to come to a solid conclusion as to whether to fully embrace it. You have to consider maya as well if you want mudbox that's the downside to people who aren't using maya. This is a recent video I made comparing Mudbox and ZBrush. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OXpobW_RICI.html

I think @Yansculpt does very good at that. I just want to give info. We can't all do the same thing right? Sorry if you didn't like it, but that's the best I could offer.

superior to 3dCoat? How, why? I'm a little confused because I completely disagree.

@@jussivalter bc Blender is somewhat in the mainstream workflow, well not an industry standard like Maya yet. Blender offers the complete set of tools from modeling, sculpting, UV editing, texturing, rigging, geometry nodes animating and compositing. Very few can match those set of flexibility from other packages. On the other hand, I'd pick 3d coat's texturing (or Textura) superior to Blender.

@@michaelantonio6643 yes, you're absolutely right that Blender offers a lot of tools and is overall closer to other similar software. but I still don't understand why in practice you consider its tools better than 3dcoat's? that's why I'm a bit confused because I use all of the following in my daily work at the workplace and in my hobbies: maya, cinema4d, 3ds max and blender. but I have licenses for 3d coat precisely because it does many things much better than the software just mentioned. What does 3d coat do better and why does it complement other software packages? here are a few examples: UV mapping, Retopo, painting and sculpting. 3d coat really offers the best tools and workflows for exactly those tasks (zbrush would be even better for sculpting in many aspects, not all aspects). That's why I'm a little confused.

For sculpting? I disagree, I have used both and I can't find anything blender can do better than 3Dcoat (for sculpting.) But I do agree that ZBrush is the best.

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
