3D Coat

3D Coat is a professional digital sculpting and texturing program designed around advanced manipulation of voxels and polygonal using dynamic patch tessellation technology and polygonal sculpting tools.

With industry-leading tools for sculpting, polygonal topology morphing, creation of UV maps, extensive texturing and much more, both novices and professionals will be able to introduce this powerful tool into their daily workflows and projects of all sizes to quickly create new lifelike and highly-intricate 3D models and environments.
 
To best serve the needs of all users, 3D Coat (3D-Brush) also has support for advanced importing of 3D models (built from scratch or recreated via photogrammetry or other forms of scans) created in other modeling apps, and immediately transforming them into editing ready voxel objects.

From that point on, designers and sculptors can start adding new layers of high-resolution details, complete UV unwrapping and mapping, texture displacements, bump maps, specular and diffuse color maps.

Instead of painstakingly adding functional polygonal mesh skin over any voxel sculpture, this app does it automatically, giving the chance to sculptors to focus their full attention on creative work and skip unnecessary production steps that are plaguing other similar apps.



3D Coat has full support for multiple layer sculpting, Physically Based Rendering infused directly rendered into its viewpoint, smart materials, texture sizes up to 16K, rich toolset, tight integration with industry-leading digital image editing application Photoshop, advanced voxel and traditional sculpting tools, auto-retopology tools, fast and intuitive UV Mapping and much more.

Purchase of perpetual access is available via four distinct tiers of licenses (Professio9nsk, Amateur, 3DCprinting, and Floating), optional upgrade licenses for owners of previous versions of this app, and of course FREE access to a 30-day TRIAL.
