3D-Coat 4.9.78 (x64)
3D-Coat 4.9.78 Overview
3D-Coat is a digital sculpting and texturing tool built for artists who want to shape detailed 3D models. It works with advanced polygon handling to provide sculpting features that feel natural and easy to control. You can sculpt, adjust UV maps, paint textures, and much more. The interface is simple enough for new users, while still offering the depth and power that experienced artists look for.
It fits smoothly into most 3D workflows, allowing you to build environments and models without disruption. You can bring in your own 3D files with no hassle, whether they’re made in this program or created somewhere else. Even models built in another app can be imported here for further work.
Portable or Standard Setup
3D-Coat gives you the full set of tools needed to take a rough block of digital clay and shape it into a finished, textured 3D model. It’s used in classrooms and training programs at more than 240 universities, colleges, and art schools around the world.

The software also supports advanced importing of 3D models created in other apps—whether built manually or generated through photogrammetry or 3D scanning. Once imported, the model can be turned into a voxel object ready for detailed editing. From there, artists can add layers of high-resolution sculpting, handle UV unwrapping, apply texture maps, adjust surface details, and more.
Instead of manually creating a polygon mesh over your sculpt, the program streamlines that entire part of the process so you can stay focused on the creative work instead of technical hurdles.
