3D-Coat 3D‑Coat 4.8 Professional for Mac

3D-Coat 4.8 Professional for Mac 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.

• Possibility to attach Smart Materials to layers - Materials managing becomes even easier.
• Improved Curvature calculation - This is crucial for Smart Materials to be looking even more realistic.
• New Primitives in Retopo room - Cylinder, torus, cube, ellipse, spiral, etc. We are getting closer and closer to a low-poly modeling.
• Possibility to change resolution of textures - Attached materials will automatically be re-sampled.
• Smart Materials usage history - Use Smart Materials and Multiple Objects.
• Render scene in Renderman - Add support for rendering 3D-Coat scenes in RenderMan.
• Proxy Slider - Set your proxy degree with an easy slider movement.
• Baking Scan - Paint baking depth with brush. Now you can define with an ease of a brush stroke how big the depth of scanning will be.
• 4K monitors support - Now UI elements and font size will automatically fit your screen resolution.
• Rotation mode quick switch - Around Y or free rotation.

Easy Texturing & PBR

• Microvertex, Per-pixel or Ptex painting approaches
• Realtime Physically Based Rendering viewport with HDRL
• Smart Materials with easy set-up options
• Multiple paint Layers. Popular blending modes. Layer groups
• Tight interaction with Photoshop
• Texture size up to 16k
• Fast Ambient Occlusion and Curvature map calculation
• Rich toolset for all kind of painting tasks, and more...

Digital Sculpting

Voxel (volumetric) sculpting key features:

• No topological constraints. Sculpt as you would with Clay
• Complex boolean operations
• Fast kit bashing workflow

Traditional sculpting offers you such powerful technology as:

• Adaptive dynamic tessellation (Live Clay)
• Dozens of fast and fluid sculpting brushes
• Boolean operations with crisp edges

Ultimate Retopo Tools

• Auto-retopology (AUTOPO) with user-defined edge loops
• Fast and easy-to-use manual Retopo tools
• Possibility to import reference mesh for retopologization
• Use your current low-poly mesh as your retopo mesh
• Retopo groups with color palette for better management
• Advanced baking settings dialog

Fast & Friendly UV Mapping

• Professional toolset for creating and editing UV-sets
• Native Global Uniform (GU) unwrapping algorithm
• Multiple UV-sets support and management
• Support ABF, LSCM, and Planar unwrapping algorithms
• Individual islands tweaking
• Lastly, it is fast, easy, and fun to use
