3DCoat

3DCoat — a professional commercial application for Mac designed for modeling various organic objects and rough low-polygon 3D models; it provides an extensive set of tools that allow users to create detailed sculptures by adding topology, generate UV maps, interactively texture the surface of a model, render static scenes, and produce turntable animations of the model. With 3dcoat download for mac, you get access to a powerful digital art suite right on your macOS system.

Some of the key features:

Voxel Sculpting technology, which allows you to start creating models without worrying about topology constraints at all;

The application has excellent integration with Adobe Photoshop, which greatly assists and accelerates the texturing process on Mac;

The program allows you to separate textures into individual layers, making it significantly easier to apply and manage various effects;

Support for control using 3DConnexion three-dimensional manipulators and input devices;

Layers contain depth, color, and specular reflection channels. You can disable or enable any of these channels and apply effects to them — displacement, transparency, contrast, depth multiplication, and more;

There is the ability to paint through UV space just as easily as directly on 3D models. Nearly all available tools support this functionality;

Each pen has multiple channels — color, depth, specular, and eraser for comprehensive control;

There is the ability to fill areas with gradient and spherical fills for smooth transitions;

Filters for image correction with real-time preview of the result directly in the 3D viewport;

It is possible to apply text onto any surface. Text can be placed along a spline path, and you can even wrap text around the entire object seamlessly.

You can paint not only with a brush, but also using contour lines, rectangles, or ellipses for precise detailing;

Rendering capability with anti-aliasing, global illumination settings, depth of field adjustments, and soft shadows. A gradient fill or a custom image can be used as a configurable background for the scene.

Easy Texturing and PBR:

- Support for micro-vertex painting, per-pixel painting, and Ptex on your Mac

- Physically Based Rendering (PBR) with an HDRL-enabled viewport

- Smart materials with easy and flexible customization options

- Multi-layer painting. Popular blending modes available. Grouping layers into organized folders.

- Full-featured integration with Adobe Photoshop

- Textures up to 16k resolution are fully supported

- Fast calculation of Ambient Occlusion and Curvature maps

- A rich and comprehensive toolset for any painting task and beyond..

Digital Sculpting

- Key features of voxel (volumetric) sculpting on Mac:

- No topology limitations whatsoever. Sculpt freely, just as if you were working with real clay

- Complex boolean operations. Fast and efficient kit-bashing workflow process

- Traditional surface sculpting gives you such powerful capabilities as:

- Adaptive dynamic tessellation (Live Clay) for organic detail

- Dozens of fast and dynamic sculpting brushes for every need

- Boolean operations with clean and crisp hard edges

- Preparation and optimization of models for 3D printing.

Exceptional Retopology Toolkit

- Auto-retopology (AUTOPO) with configurable polygon count and triangle density settings

- Fast and easy-to-learn toolkit for manual retopology workflows

- Ability to import a reference mesh for retopology guidance

- Use your current low-polygon mesh as a retopology target mesh

- Retopology groups with a convenient color palette for easier management and organization

- Extensive selection of baking settings and configuration options

- And many other additional capabilities...

Fast and Simple UV Mapping

- Professional toolkit for creating and editing UV sets on macOS

- Native Global Uniform (GU) unwrapping algorithm for optimal results

- Support for managing and handling multiple UV sets simultaneously

- Support for ABF, LSCM, and Planar unwrapping algorithms

- Correction and adjustment of individual islands for precise UV layout

- Finally, when you complete the 3dcoat download, you will find it fast, easy, and truly enjoyable to use on your Mac.
