I would love to see this add the VDM into a smart material with the color, it would be awesome to capture photogrammetry in a more complete state. In my experience creating VDMs is that the only main reason why a VDM doesn't turn out well is because the surface used sometimes needs a higher resolution depending on the complexity such as many folds otherwise it doesn't have the extra verts to stretch into place.
You can check the Auto-Subdivision option in the Tool Options panel, to enable Dynamic Dubdivision (under your brush), so that you get extra geometry only where the extrusion occurs.
Very glad to see you guys expanding VDM's more and more! If possible I would love a way to easily import my already existing ZBrush library over, though. I feel that would immediately give it a kickstart.
VDM brushes in ZB and Blender, are generally stored as proprietary brushes in the host applications, however in both of them there is a means of exporting an .exr file (same applies to VDM brushes in 3DCoat) which can be used in other apps, for the purpose of using them as VDM brushes.
@@PILGWAY3DCoat I'm guessing there are licensing issues with the proprietary formats that prevent you from making an automatic conversion or import too?
There is only 1 VDM showing in your material library "different_patterns_18" , searching for "skin" shows many random images without "skin" in the name and many don't seem related. Under "Category" skins or "skin" isn't even a label. I love the new VDM tool, wish it captured color at the same time and allow merge to new smart material.
This feature was only recently released (subsequent to the 3DCoat 2023 release) and thus the initial batch of VDM's are included with the new builds of 3DCoat, in the Brush Alpha pallet. They are located as separate sub folders in the Brushes pallet.
Keep these videos coming 3dcoat! Show those features off, the ease and usability of 3dcoat cannot be understated! Love it!
i love 3dCoat
Now this is how you make a video tutorial!!! Pls keep making tutorials about 3DCoat we need it!
Thank you for adding this!
Wow! Thank you!
Awesome!
That "instant" VDM creation is awesome!
Killer feature! Looks awesome
Awesome addition, thank you.
Looks fantastic! Can't wait to try it myself.
Yes! And UX looks promising. Thank you!
Nice. Now if we can do the same with the image reference then it will be marvelous :P
nice
Cool !
Круто! Молодцы)
wtf just I seen... it is an addon? holly moly :D im impressed.:D
Cooool!)

This panel doesn't seem to want to open whether I click once or double click. Using version 2023.29@@PILGWAY3DCoat

I think you can probably convert the VDMs to meshes and then scan them in 3DCoat. It will take a while but it's a one time thing.
