3DCoat is a comprehensive 3D modeling software that equips artists with an extensive suite of tools to transform digital concepts into fully realized, production-ready models. By integrating voxel and polygonal modeling techniques, 3DCoat offers unparalleled flexibility in creating both organic and hard surface models. Its user-friendly interface and robust feature set make it an ideal choice for professionals in game development, film, and product design.
One of the standout features of 3DCoat is its advanced digital sculpting capabilities. Artists can engage in voxel sculpting without any topological constraints, allowing for freeform experimentation and complex boolean operations with crisp edges. The software provides a variety of fast and fluid sculpting brushes, along with adaptive dynamic tessellation, enabling the creation of intricate details with ease.
In addition to sculpting, 3DCoat excels in texturing and physically based rendering (PBR). It supports microvertex, per-pixel, or Ptex painting approaches, offering flexibility in texturing workflows. The real-time PBR viewport with HDR lighting ensures that artists can visualize their materials accurately as they work. The inclusion of Smart Materials with easy setup options and support for textures up to 16k resolution allows for the creation of highly detailed and realistic surfaces.
The software's retopology tools are designed to streamline the process of creating clean, animation-ready topology. 3DCoat offers auto-retopology with user-defined edge loops, fast and intuitive manual retopo tools, and retopo groups with a color palette for better management. Advanced baking settings further enhance the retopology workflow, ensuring that high-resolution details are accurately transferred to lower-resolution meshes.
3DCoat also provides a professional UV mapping toolset, featuring a native Global Uniform (GU) unwrapping algorithm, support for multiple UV sets, and compatibility with ABF, LSCM, and planar unwrapping methods. These features enable artists to create efficient and distortion-free UV maps, facilitating better texture application and optimization.
