In this fourteenth video volume of 24 volumes 3D Instructor Adam Gibson introduces the 3D student to 3D Coat's powerful Auto-Retopology Tools. So why is Auto-Retopology a needed process? The best 3D texture artists in the world know that in order to have flawless textures you need near perfect UV maps. The problem is that with Organic Sub-D models a process called "Retopology" is usually needed to do that. But the other problem that lies within that is that "Manual Retopology" is just as time consuming as UV Mapping, if not more in some cases. So this is where "Auto-Retopology" comes in to help speed up the process.

3D Coat 3.5 for Lightwave Users-UV Mapping-by Adam Gibson 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 Video Tutorial Adam Gibson shows a full blown project based session on how to perfectly UV Map a Suchomimus Dinosaur. The techniques and tools are shown to create UV maps with no overlapping UV's. Good UV mapping skills are needed to create great texture maps for your characters and 3D object. This video holds the information you need to start making great UV maps for your own projects.
