When you master it you'll find a lot of enjoyment in it. And it's less of a click fest than Zbrush so it's more direct and simple to use though for someone learning it that may seem hard to believe. I prefer it to Mari it's more visceral and sensuous to handle less abstract and detached. Personally I struggled with texturing, trying many solutions and for UV mapping (back when I tried to do UV mapping in Maya it was so bad it turned me off totally) and then when I discovered UV mapping and texture painting in 3D Coat it was an amazing liberation for me. So in that room I'm just as much of a novice as you I don't know what I'll find there, if it's going to be useful to me or not but I'm going to give a good effort to learn it just to see what's there. I've been playing with Zbrush Zmodeler and I haven't really looked at the new polygonal modeling tools yet for 3D Coat. That doesn't trouble me too much because the different rooms are such different beasts that require their own approaches.

that every room has its 'own' layer subsystem is complicated.

Problem was, the layer system in the sculpt room is not the same like in the paint room so I had to take a closer look to achive similar 'layering results'. You 're going to go with the long term faithful userbase if you know what's good for you.Īaahhh. Is it only going to appear in the full V5 (2021)?Īs for changing the interface radically, this is a dilemma for any program you have the long term users that have learned the ins and outs of the program over the years, your faithful base, and they don't want the trouble of relearning a new interface which can consume a lot of time and then you have new users baffled by the arcane logic of the program. Is the material node system in the B55 yet? I can't find it. I think there will be some changes to the layers and perhaps some other UI elements, coming in the near future, so this is probably not all. There was already so much to be done that trying to restructure the core UI in time for this major release, probably just wasn't doable. Obviously, it's not easy making core structural changes and thus cosmetic changes are about all that can be done, many times. Remember how drastically changed (or lack thereof) Maya and Max's refresh a few years ago, or what about ZBrush's UI? They probably made some small changes for the past 5 years or so, but it is largely the same UI. Replacing all the icons and adding Tool Groups is no small deal.
