3D Coat - a commercial computer program for modeling various organic objects and rough low-poly 3D models; provides a wide range of tools that allow users to create sculptures by adding a topology, create UV maps, interactively texture the surface of the model, visualize static scenes and circular animation of the model.
Some features:
- Voxel Sculpting technology, which allows you to start creating models without thinking about the topology;
- The program has very good integration with Adobe Photoshop, it helps a lot in the texturing process;
- The program allows you to separate textures into layers, which facilitates the imposition of effects;
- Support for control using three-dimensional manipulators 3DConnexion;
- Layers contain depth, color, and mirroring. You can disable or enable any of these channels and apply effects to them - wiping, transparency, contrast, animation of depth, etc .;
- It is possible to draw through UV as easily as on 3D models. Almost all tools can do this;
- Each feather has many channels - color, depth, mirror and grater;
- It is possible to fill areas with gradient and spherical fill;
- Filters for image correction and preview of the result in 3D;
- Text overlay is possible. The text is located along the spline, you can even write text around the entire object.
- You can draw not only with a brush, but also with the help of a path, rectangle or ellipse;
- The ability to render with smoothing, setting global lighting, depth of field and soft shadows. As a custom background for the scene, gradient fill, image can be used.
Simple texturing and PBR:
- Support for micro-vertex drawing, pixel drawing and Ptex
- Physically sound rendering (PBR) with a viewport with HDRL
- Smart materials with easy customization
- Multilayer drawing. Popular blending modes. Grouping layers.
- Full integration with Photoshop
- Supported textures up to 16k in size
- Quick miscalculation Ambient Occlusion and curve maps (Curvature)
- Rich tools for any tasks in drawing and not only ..
Digital sculpting
The main features of voxel (volumetric) sculpting:
- No topology restrictions . Sculpting is similar, as if from clay
- Complex logical operations. Quick whale-bashing process
- Adaptive dynamic tessellation (Live Clay)
- Dozens of fast and dynamic brushes for sculpting
- Logical operations with clear edges
- Preparing the model for 3D printing.
Exceptional tools for retopology
- Auto-retopology (AUTOPO) with configurable triangles
- Quick and easy to learn tools for manual retopology
- Ability to import the reference cache for retopology
- Use your current low-poly mesh as a cache for retopology
- Retopological groups with a color palette for ease of management
- An extensive selection of settings for baking
- And other features ...
Quick and easy UV mapping
- Professional tools for creating and editing UV sets
- Native Global Uniform (GU) deployment algorithm
- Support and management of many UV sets
- Support for ABF, LSCM and Planar scan algorithms
- Correction of individual islands
- Finally, it’s fast, Easy and fun to use.
OS: Windows 10, Windows 8 / 8.1, Windows 7 - x64.
