3D-Coat is the one application that has all the tools you need to take your 3D idea from a block of digital clay all the way to a production ready, fully textured organic or hard surface model.
The program can also be used to modify imported 3D models from a number of commercial 3D software products by means of plugins called Applinks. Imported models can be converted into voxel objects for further refinement and for adding high resolution detail, complete UV unwrapping and mapping, as well as adding textures for displacement, bump maps, specular and diffuse color maps. A live connection to a chosen external 3D application can be established through the Applink pipeline, allowing for the transfer of model and texture information.
3D-Coat specializes in voxel sculpting and polygonal sculpting - using Dynamic Patch Tessellation technology and polygonal sculpting tools.
In the latest release, users can increase their productivity by using Auto-retopology, a proprietary skinning algorithm. With minimal input from the user, this technology generates an accurate and functional polygonal mesh skin over any voxel sculpture, (composed primarily of quadrangles), which is the standard that is widely used in 3D production studios. Normally, this kind of polygonal topology must be painstakingly produced by hand.
Features of this version includes
• Live Clay released! We are glad to finally release long-awaited "dynamic tessellation" Live Clay sculpting tools. With Live Clay you won't bother anymore about resolution of your entire object, as now you'll have desired level of details only where you need it!
• Interface revised! New style. New Iconic look. New Start Dialog. New shaders preview, and more.
• Speed increased everywhere 3 to 10x. This is mostly related to Win version, Mac and Linux versions got speedup too, but Win version speedup is especially impressive!
• Painting emissive and colored specular introduced
• Painting over voxels/vertex painting introduced
• Possibility to retopo big meshes 10-50M and more
• Dozens of new tools and options
• New Spline drawing mode
• Major update of texture baking functions
• High-speed boolean operations in surface mode, hardsurface modeling with sharp edges
• Special tools for Product/Prototype modeling
• Overall speed, quality, and stability improved!
• Scripting via "C++ like" – Angelscript
