3D-Coat

3D-Coat (now written 3DCoat) is a powerful and versatile 3D modelling and texturing software developed by the Ukrainian company Pilgway and used by professional 3D artists, game developers, and 3D hobbyists. It allows users to take a 3D idea from a block of digital clay to a production-ready, fully textured model, and it runs on Windows, macOS and Linux.

3D-Coat offers a range of features that make it a great choice for any 3D artist. It combines voxel sculpting, which has no topological constraints, with surface sculpting and adaptive dynamic tessellation, and it also includes classic polygonal modeling tools. It has advanced automatic and manual retopology tools for creating optimized models for rendering and animation in other applications. 3D-Coat also includes tools for PBR painting and texturing with Smart Materials, as well as tools for creating and editing UVs. In addition, it offers a physically based rendering viewport and the ability to export to a variety of popular file formats, such as FBX and OBJ. A 30-day free trial is available, after which the program can still be used in a free learning mode.

3D-Coat allows users to quickly create detailed 3D models with voxel sculpting, retopology, UV mapping and PBR painting tools.

Features:

• Low-polygon modeling: Classic polygonal modeling with Move, Rotate, Scale, Extrude, Inset and other tools.

• Retopology: Create optimized models for rendering and animation with AUTOPO or manual tools.

• Sculpting: Voxel and surface sculpting with dozens of brushes and boolean operations.

• Painting and Texturing: Paint PBR textures up to 16K with Smart Materials and layers.

• UV Editing: Create and edit UV sets with Global Uniform, ABF, LSCM and planar unwrapping.

• Advanced Rendering: Physically based rendering with high dynamic range lighting.

• File Formats: Export to a variety of popular file formats, such as FBX and OBJ.

• Integration: AppLinks connect 3D-Coat with popular 3D applications such as Maya, Cinema 4D, and 3ds Max.

• Scripting: Record or write scripts to automate repetitive actions.

• Multi-language Support: The interface is available in about 70 languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, and Chinese.
