Introduction to 3D Coat Textura Part 1: Interface, Applying Normals 

The fact that 3d coat has a ton of smart materials on their website makes this software better than substance painter imho. its ability to do more manual and controlled texture work along with its 500+ smart materials is really impressive.

Thanks for making this tutorial, very helpful. There are so few on Textura. I'm a total nube and I had some issues going through this, some were the same as the presenter, some different. Here are some notes about the issues and how I resolved most of them: If you press 'apply' on the stencil and it does nothing, or something weird - you may have a strip still turned on in the Strips Pallet from earlier in the tute, hit the 'X' button to turn it off. The Text Tool Options box has a tick box for 'Flip Text' this helped me working in the Texture Editor as it was inverted like the presenter. Also try drawing out your curve line back to front, ie. Right to Left in the Texture Editor. The Smart Material Preview Window was collapsed for the presenter. Hit the little pin icon in the top right corner to de-collapse it.

quite interesting, thank you and we hope to have more on this subject from 3dcoat or / textuera

Needed this!

i think the problem with mirrored tools with text and image may relate to whether your uvs are mirrored or not facing the way you think they are in blender. i think blender has a uv check for mirrored uvs or flipped wrongly uvs. thats something to look at while uv working. make sure the textures are going the way you expect them to. heres a helpful hint: Use textured preview in the 3D view panel and the alphabet grid background in the UV layout editor. If the letters show up backwards on some parts of the model, there’s your clue your uvs are flipped the wrong way. also try making your art work white instead of black that may also help with which way the normals go either into or out of the model. black may be confusing the program making it inverted because its making the assumption the art is white....you can also dock the texture panel to the vertical right to make 3d and that side by side all panels are dockable dynamically just move it around and the blue highlight will show where it will dock into.

We finally got a new video

You should use quadrify on your UV island since it is going to be a lot easier to paint on it.

thank you for making this tutorial !

They fixed bug with flipped textures picture tool in texture editor in one of recent updates

👍

does Textura UV unwrap ?

2nd part please.

3D Coat is so complex

Very hard to learn🫡
