      3D coat to SU would be great if possible, as you said 3D coat works best with SU.
      And if you can include the UV mapping in 3D coat, I'd like that.

      Thanks.

        @dereeei: thanks, nipples ha ha, I wish this stl machine can carve these. Even as a simple stroke, it'll be fine.
        A tutorial for digital sculpture? On what app? 3DCoat? Zbrush? There're tons of this stuff around.

        On what you did this one πŸ˜„

          thanks numbthumb
          My english are bad I know, no misunderstanding here though, I really need some information on this.

And some years probably. To start with broad strokes is the best way IMO. And stay away from anatomy which is good for details only.

            3DC has a better UV editor than blender. You can just import a SU mesh, make UVs and paint on it. No need to drop it to the voxels space at all. Have a tour, they have a nice site.
            @dereeei, there aren't much more than the screen capture I posted. Just avoid 'non-manifolds', you know, these internal faces when using 'push-pull' +alt in SU*. And the whole mesh should be waterproof (no openings).
            *I noticed that this can cause problems to some renderers as well. This messes UVs actually.

              thanks numbthumb, if you have any experience on this stl thing, please, any information you could provide is precious.

              I wish I could do that, michalis, I was only joking. It was you who gave the informations that helped me to gain more clarity about my future 3D path. Learning apps like Blender and 3DC is on my to-do list.
              Oh, and I really enjoy your " workshop ". Always a pleasure to see.

              Comfortably numb...

                are kids gonna be looking at that?! 😲

                right... not my taste either. but the modelling work looks amazing!

                oh and the waterproofing can be checked with SU8 in the entity info... if the group is solid, it's waterproof!

                    STL is a file format used by CNC machines, 3D printers, and other similar machines to make a physical product from a CAD file.

                        I hope not. Not because its a half nude girl, its a decoration for a bar. Client keeps asking for bigger breasts πŸ˜†

                        yes, STL and four axes rooter CNC is the case.

                        Thanks Pyroluna, Roger, d12dozr, ken
