Xtaz Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Mari 2.0 was released. It's "our" 3D Painter with more tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted May 29, 2013 Admin Share Posted May 29, 2013 And rather unfortunately for us starts at $1995. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted May 29, 2013 Hash Fellow Share Posted May 29, 2013 For that price you need to really, really, really want to paint in 3D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted May 29, 2013 Admin Share Posted May 29, 2013 Being able to paint directly onto models in layers (and use the PSD format) is no small thing. I'm not suggesting Mari isn't worth the price. I'm quite sure it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyGormezano Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Being able to paint directly onto models in layers (and use the PSD format) is no small thing. 3D painter allows that. Not using psd files of course, but on "layers" since A:M has "layers" of decals IE, a stamp can be considered a layer, and multiple stamps/decals on the same patch acts like layers on a patch. 3D painter also allows simultaneously painting on multiple "layers" (stamps, decals), or isolating only one layer ( 1 stamp or decal). It's a mahrvalus thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zandoriastudios Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 3D Painter is an awesome tool for A:M! Just add (blank) image to your decal container and set it to diffuse, specular, bump, cookie, whatever and when you open the model in 3D painter, you can select that image to paint on. You can bring these different images back into Photoshop and mix them together (eg. using bump layer as soft light over the color layer) and save them back out.

Admin Rodney Posted May 29, 2013 Admin Share Posted May 29, 2013 I enjoyed 3D Painter while I was using it. After moving to my current laptop I didn't contact Filip to reactivate because I thought I might prefer to reactivate it on a new desktop. In assisting Lloyd with 'Woke Up Dead' it would be a good idea for me to reactivate it again. I'm all about purchasing anew if Filip puts out a new version! What I was working out just before getting disconnected with 3D Painter before was a workflow that allowed me to paint displacement maps in 3D Painter (as regular painted layers not displacement) and see the displaced results almost immediately in A:M. Sadly, that was probably two years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a video tutorial for that specific in practice technique? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
