When you do this, your model will be resampled into the sharp edges you expected. I usually decide by a quick test of how fast it will stamp things or the grow or smooth tools operate. This will be way too low to preserve detail so, I usually start somewhere around 1,000,000 and 2,000,000 to see if it is what I want. Just left click into the value field and it will pop up a dialogue that lets you retype the numbers to your liking. It usually (not always) defaults to some odd voxel value like '200,000'. Now, this can be a bit tricky until you get a feel for what you are working with. Where there is an 'S' on that new layer, left click and it will bring up the 'convert to Voxels' dialogue. It will remain when you duplicate the layer.ĭuplicate a layer to preserve my original model (G). Click on a 'colour box' in the 'Shaders' box. This preserves the raw model without changes. I find this useful if I am doing work and want to save 'stages' of development. Where you can increase resolution if you want to 'slow down' the effects of the tools. I just put them there because I use them a bunch and want them very easily accessible.į. Keeps you from getting the 'black' look you got on your model import.Į. I use the Polymer colours for colouring my models to differentiate between parts or just setting a base colour. For instance, this is a set of transorms from 'JRO Tools.' Not that expensive and very, very useful.

This is the 'Ornament Alphas' I use for a lot of my decorative things. So, you just hit 'Reset Space' and it puts the transforms back to their original values.Ĭ. If you bring in a new model into a new blank layer, it will remember that. Say, if you move and scale and rotate (transforms in 3D parlance) it will remember that. Make sure you 'park' the 'Tool Options' to make it easy to get to things. This button will toggle you between orthographic and perspective modes.ī. Here is a quick breakdown on the basic interface as I use it for modeling:Ī. Why? So you have a lo-rez proxy in back up. BUT!! make a copy of the object then convert.

Ahhhh, ok, here is the trick with getting something into 3D coat.įirst off, if you are looking to add texture to the model, then you must convert to a volumetric object.
