3D Coat 3.5 for LightWave Users-Auto-Retopology

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 volume on the new Autoretopology tool in 3D Coat 3.5 basic and advanced uses of the Auto-Retopology tool are demonstrated in great depth. Workflow application and pipeline use are shown with regards to how to combine Lightwave's Modeler tools with 3D Coat's standard retopology tool set to correct Auto-Retopology glitches, gotchas, errors and limitations. With the methods included in this video you will learn how create clean retopologized meshes for use in LightWave or other 3D packages. The video starts off with how to use the Auto-Retopology tool and then finishes with a full hands on project on a rhinoceros model/mesh that needs to be retopologized and exported to LightWave 3D.
