"Great customer service. The folks at Novedge were super helpful in navigating a somewhat complicated order including software upgrades and serial numbers in various stages of inactivity. They were friendly and helpful throughout the process.."

"Scott is the best. He reminds me about subscriptions dates, guides me in the correct direction for updates. He always responds promptly to me. He is literally the reason I continue to work with Novedge and will do so in the future."

"Calvin Lok is “the man”. After my purchase of Sketchup 2021, he called me and provided step-by-step instructions to ease me through difficulties I was having with the setup of my new software."

Pilgway, the developers behind 3DCoat, are happy to announce the 2023 lineup of products, including the new 3DCoat 2023 and the updated 3DCoatTextura 2023. Both the new 3DCoat 2023 and 3DCoatTextura 2023 are much advanced, compared to the previous releases.
Here's a list of the key new features:
Sketch Tool Improved
Enhancements to the Sketch tool make it more robust for quickly creating high-quality Hard Surface objects; including better performance and stability.
Multi-Level Resolution
The new multi-Resolution workflow fully supports Sculpt Layers, Displacement and even PBR Textures. The Retopo mesh can be used as the lowest Resolution (Subdivision) level. 3DCoat will automatically create multiple intermediate levels in the process. You can rapidly step up and down the individual Subdivision levels and see your edits stored (throughout all levels) in the selected Sculpt Layer.
Tree + Leaves Generation
The recently added Trees Generator tool now has the possibility to generate Leaves, also. You can add your own leaf types, sculpt the shape if needed, and export all this as an FBX file.
Timelapse Recorder
A Time-lapse Screen-Recording tool has been added, which records your work at a specified interval by smoothly moving the camera and then converting it to a video.
Surface Mode Speed Improvements
The subdivision of Surface mode meshes has been sped up significantly (5x at least, using the Res+ command). It is possible to subdivide models even to 100-200M.
Paint Tools
A new tool called Power Smooth has been added. It is a Super-powerful, valence/density independent, screen-based color smoothing tool. Paint tools were also added into Sculpt room to simplify painting over the surface/voxels.
Volumetric Color
Volumetric color completely supported everywhere, where the surface painting works, even light baking supported and conditions.
Modeling Workspace Improvements
A new Lattice tool has been added to the Modeling room. Soft Selection/Transform (in Vertex mode) is also introduced in the Retopo/Modeling workspaces.
IGES Export Introduced
The Export of meshes in IGES format has been enabled (this functionality is available temporarily, for testing and then will be released as a separate Extra Module for an additional cost).
Import/Export Enhancements
The Auto-Export toolset has been improved significantly and offers a really powerful and convenient asset creation workflow. It includes possibility to export assets directly to Blender with PBR textures and better compatibility and optimizations for UE5 game engine and more.
To show support to our partners at Pilgway, we decided to forfeit any profit on all 3DCoat products. 3D Coat developers are based in Ukraine and the team has proven their determination to continue their work.
By purchasing any 3D Coat product now, not only you would be getting a great deal, but you would also support their efforts in these very trying times.
Feel free to call our experts at 866 362 8970 to find out more about 3DCoat 2023 or to request a quote.
