What is the advantage of the Teya Conceptor?

In usability for kitbashing 3d models from brushes.

Teya's UI is made around this idea. You can do similar things in other software, but here it is simply faster. However, you can use Teya along with your usual programs for greater efficiency.

 

System requirements and supported platforms

- Windows or Mac OS. In the future Linux release is also possible. Android and other mobile versions are no in the plans.

- Graphic tablet (like Wacom) is recommended because the workflow is based on drawing. Pen pressure support isn't necessary.

- OpenGL 3.0 or newer (almost every modern video card supports it). You can check your OpenGL version in Teya user/log_file.txt

- CPU/RAM requirements depend on the brushes you will use. Try to use more low-poly objects inside brushes to avoid overloading the scene if FPS is too low.

- Permissions to write files (just install it to any non-system folder, like "c:\Teya Conceptor" as default)

 

What file formats are supported

- *.obj to open/save/import/export scenes and brushes

- *.tga to export made textures and renders, to import as brush form type

Teya don't have it's own file format type and it's very handy. All created scenes and even brushes stored in *.obj files. It supported by most 3D software. Teya just saving all Teya settings (like modifiers) to *.obj comments. Other 3D software ignores that comments, that's why there are no import/export obj in file menu. You can import any Teya scene to any software without re-opening for export.

Use menu 'file' to save/open object files and to export scene render. Also there you can adjust y/z axis direction and scene scale. If you used vertex colors in Teya Conceptor it can be exported to .tga file (disabled by default).

To export scene as alpha-texture (it even can be seamless) use 'alpha exporter' menu in top panel.

 

Can Teya unwrap UVs?

Teya is a software for modeling and concept art, not for texturing.

It can use only automatically generated UV's based on vertex colors (you can enable it in file menu).

It's useful if you painted surface colors with vtx color brushes.

 

Will license work at all my computers? Can license be transferred to another PC?

Licenses are linked to computer hardware.

I understood that users can own a few PC (desktop + laptop, for example) or just buy a new PC. You can use same Gumroad email in this case.

But if the email will be entered at more than 3 different PC's, the license will be blocked.

If you have problems, contact me.

 

Teya Conceptor vs Sculpting software

Teya Conceptor is completely different from sculpting. It has different workflow and purposes.

Sculpting most convenient for creating characters. Teya Conceptor is a more versatile tool, suitable for modeling many things. In general, it is useful as an intermediate tool for concept design and kitbashing. With Teya Conceptor you can quickly make basemesh and finish in other software. Or overpaint it in Photoshop for example.

Teya Conceptor workflow is built around the idea of drawing in 3d using 2d canvas and has nothing to do with sculpting or classical methods of modeling.

 

Interesting software idea, but I can't get used to workflow.

If you can't get used to workplane, firstly try to draw 2d seamless alpha-maps in Teya. (Alpha generator/exporter menu at top of UI).

It helps you to get used to brushes. After some time you will able to use the whole Teya workflow.
