Volumetric sculpting progress

Some news on volumetric progress. Many improvements was made since previous post in this blog. One of the most improvements is incremental render. It allows render only changed parts of object. In so way there is almost no difference how big object is edited - only navigation speed is different. Now it is possible to create objects up to 18M of triangles. Also voxel sculpting has got nice renderer - with DOF, AO and soft shadows. There are some rendered samples with AO and soft shadows:

Voxel scolpting - take part in development!

Excuse for long delay in posting there, it was hot time. Many sales, many support questions, many work over volumetric sculpting. Really multithread working :) But all is going very well. It seems 3D-Coat becomes popular cake :) Please join very hot discussion in forum about first alpha and principles of volumetric sculpting. You have a chance to make this tool better and perfect. The thread is there:

3D-Coat 2.10 released !
http://3dbrush.kriska.hvosting.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=1337

I have met really incredible interest. I am getting many letters and sales everyday. It seems that 3D-Coat is tooken seriously into account as serious competitor. It is great. Especially many peoples like retopology tool and upcoming volumetric sculpting. I have already made core for this but I need some time to bring it to some usability level.Anyway I will show very basic demo soon. From the example of developing retopology tool I see that open development is best way to make something really exciting. I need to spend several more days on making sevice updates and then I will run into 3.0 development with full power. Now I am spending only 20% of time for it.

2.10 development runs to the end. It will be the biggest update.Also version for MacOS (Intel)is almost done. You can find the link to latest MacOS version there:
