3D Coat 3.5 for LightWave Users-Photo Painting II

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 video tutorial 3D Coat/LightWave Instructor Adam Gibson shows the 3D student how to paint a female character originally modeled in LightWave 3D using 3D Coat's powerful photo-painting system. Tips and Tricks are shown how to blend digital photos together to kill ugly seams and distortions. If you are seeking a video that shows how to easily use digital photographs to texture your 3D humans this is the training tutorial for you. 3D Coat does the job painlessly.
