Upgrade to 3D-Coat 4.9 Professional for Mac

3D-Coat 4.9 Professional for Windows 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.

Highlights

	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
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 tesselation (Live Clay) Dozens of fast and fluid sculpting brushes Boolean operations with crisp edges 3D Printing Export Wizard: Make printed models as precise to your design as possible
	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
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!

What's New

Paint room

• Possibility of resolution-independent texture locking over the layer. Importing or calculation of normal map, occlusion, the cavity will lock the layer. Texture will be saved to disk. As soon as you change the resolution, the locked texture will be used instead of the current layer state resampling. It is very important when you want to paint the materials in low quality of textures and then get high quality at the end
• Moving smart materials to other folder takes less space in RMB menu, it is consolidated into a single line with the submenu
• Support of 16-bit PNG for alphas
• Edge width correction for Cube mapping, dedicated settings panel for cube mapping

Sculpt room

• CutOff in surface mode completely redone. Now the shape of the cut is very uniform and accurate. Depth and back plane limitations produce an accurate sharp cut. Soft booleans supported (see image)
• Soft booleans for all primitives, volumes merging, cutoff
• List of ghosted, isolated volumes stored into scene file (3B)
• Much more stable and powerful Geometry->Close holes
• Automatic closing the objects before the voxelization
• Store pose selection to layer, picking pose selection from the layer. Works similar (to some degree) to poly groups
• Load/Save option for noise
• Correct brushing on the edge of the mesh (blob effect decreased a lot)
• Pose tool angle snapping problem fixed

UV/Retopo room

• Sharp edges support in Retopo room. Baking, import/export supported
• Context sensitive RMB menu in retopo room, it is especially helpful in ""Select"" tool for low-poly modeling
• In UV settings you may control the default unwrapping method
• Extrude-like tools in retopo room are more convenient and intuitive, similar to other 3d editors
• Unwrap method ""To stripe"" has been polished and set as default within the ""Unwrap"" command to be used when applicable. This method unwraps strips of quads into accurate and straight lines. Unwrap detects such cases automatically
• New curves (enable in Preferences -> Show beta tools) 

New curves (enable in Preferences -> Show beta tools)

• Edge for all curve modifiers can be customized in a really rich way.
• A truly rich set of curves modifiers (RMB over the curve).
