3D Coat 3.5 for LightWave Users-Retopology II- Project Suchomimus

In this videos series we show 3D students how to use 3D Coat and LightWave 3D together as an easy and functional workflow and pipeline in your 3D projects. Although this video series uses Lightwave 3D as the final output for your 3D Coat work, the concepts and principles used here will work with all the most popular 3D programs like 3D Max, Maya, Softimage, Modo, Cinema 4D and many others.

In this second retopology volume of 3D Coat 3.5 for LightWave Users Adam Gibson demonstrates the full retopology of a Suchomimus Dinosaur model to create a mesh with better polygonal edge flow. Retopology of your models is designed to make models easier to apply UV Maps, texturing, and animating. Models with bad topology can create a great deal of problems in a production pipeline. This video combines the strength of both programs to create a clean streamlined character model with all the steps revealed.
