BodyPaint 3D R3.5 Specifications

Wave goodbye to UV seams, inaccurate texturing and the constant back-and-forth switch to your 2D image editor. Say hello to hassle-free texturing that lets you quickly paint highly detailed textures directly on your 3D objects. Forget flat compromises and paint in three dimensions. BodyPaint 3D offers the ultimate control over your textures with complete layers, filters and tablet support - all optimized for working in 3D. With BodyPaint 3D you can paint on up to ten channels with a single stroke, so a single brush can define an entire material rather than a single color. Plus, BodyPaint 3D's exclusive RayBrushTM technology lets you view the results of your painting real-time in a rendered image. BodyPaint 3D's Projection Painting tool makes distortion-free painting a snap. This quick and easy tool lets you paint across UV seams or even multiple objects. Even the most complex UV coordinates can be tamed with the help of a complete suite of UV editing tools. BodyPaint 3D includes three automatic UV unwrapping algorithms, including the new Optimal Cubic Mapping system. BodyPaint 3D was created for all 3D artists and includes free plugins to exchange models and textures with popular 3D applications. These plugins transfer models, textures and UVs between BodyPaint 3D and your 3D application of choice, with no hassle at all. New Features in BodyPaint 3D R3 Painting with maximum Color Depth (32 Bit Floating Point):With BodyPaint 3D R3 you can work with more depth than ever before. Now you can paint upto to 32 bit colour depth which gives even more texture control and amazingly smooth colour gradiations. BodyPaint also enables editing of HDR and EXR formats enabling you to use these powerful formats in your 3D scenes. LSCM Unwrapping and new Selection Tools: Complex objects; especially detailed organic mesh can be a nightmare to unwrap when it comes to UV's. But BodyPaint's new LSCM Unwrapping and new selection tools make even the most complicated objects a doddle to UV unwrap. A new path tool lets you define the seams you want. Once you've picked your seams then simply activate the LSCM tool and watch BodyPaint unwrap that UV nightmare into a nice flat surface for you to work with. Freeze 3D View : Projection painting / mapping used to be limited to screen size. But no more! Now you can freeze the view to any size you wish. Now you can use huge images to add ultra fine detail to your textures. New Interface : The new interface is much less distracting when working on textures. You'll note that your model now has more contrast than before. New icons are easier to identify. And much more... BodyPaint 3D is so much more than just texturing. With just a flick of a switch, BodyPaint users can now access all the tools of CINEMA 4D R10 which gives a full suit of modelling, animation and rendering tools. With BodyPaint 3D R3, your only limit is your imagination. New Features In MAXON BodyPaint 3D R3.5 The latest upgrade boasts a number of new features to make life easier for texture artists. Numerous additional improvements have also made working with the new BodyPaint 3D Release much more comfortable. Included are: Improved HUD functlionality, a configurable Auto Save function, adjustable navigation speed for graphics tablets and much more. UV Tools - Quicker and Cleaner UV Unwrapping BodyPaint 3D R3.5 now offers UV unwrapping using the powerful ABF algorithm for quicker and cleaner unwrapping of organic meshes. This new weapon joins an arsenal of UV editing tools available in CINEMA 4D and BodyPaint 3D, including LSCM mapping, optimal mapping and projection-based mapping. A good UV mesh balances the size of a each UV to its respective polygon while keeping neighboring UVs evenly sized. The ABF algorithm relaxes the UV mesh into a compromise between these two conflicting ideals, resulting in a clean, paintable mesh. Improved HTML Documentation The context-sensitive HTML help system introduced in Release 3 has been enhanced in R3.5. It is now easier to find the feature or solution you are looking for. Improved indexing and a full text search now return more relevant results, and search terms are now highlighted within the help text. Once the desired information has been found it can now be bookmarked for easy future reference - just like in your web browser. All this makes the help in BodyPaint 3D R3.5 much easier to use and speeds up your workflow even more. Why 2D painting is never enough for 3D textures Textures can make or break your 3D image and experienced artists know the issues involved with creating 3D textures in a 2D application. Immediate feedback : Graphics applications designed for 2D don't account for your scene's lighting or the effect of different material channels. BodyPaint 3D does that and more with its unique RayBrush feature. Rather than saving, reloading and rendering textures, you can paint in real-time on a rendered image and see the results of reflection, transparency, bump and more. Tools, tools, tools : More than 200 presets put a plethora of natural media and special effects brushes within easy reach. Clone, smear, smudge, dodge and burn, gradient, magic wand, transform tools and more are all available within the easy-to-use interface. Direct connection to your 3D application: With 2D applications, creating and including textures in your 3D scene involves a lot of manual setup and a lot of application switching. BodyPaint 3D offers plugins to easily exchange models, textures and UVs between BodyPaint 3D and popular 3D applications like 3ds max, Maya, XSI and LightWave. Painting over different objects : BodyPaint 3D can paint over multiple objects with a single stroke. Projection painting allows distortion-free painting across multiple objects to eliminate seams and get the results you want. You could never do this in 2D! Painting in multiple textures : With BodyPaint 3D you can paint an entire material with a single stroke. Each brush can paint up to ten channels simultaneously, so a single brushstroke affects color, bump, specularity, reflection, transparency and other properties. There's no need to match the various channels in your 3D application. Free Tech Support : Maxon's top-notch technical support staff will guide you through the valley of the shadow of deadlines, with quick and complimentary resolutions to your issues. Completely Cross-Platform: Whether you're a Windows wizard or Mac addict, you'll enjoy the same great features and outstanding performance.
