3DCoat is a specialized voxel sculpting application, quite unlike Blender - it's a waste to use it for mere texturing!
Once you get the hang of it, voxel modeling (3DCoat's version) is really intuitive and provides certain results much more efficiently than NURBS (non-uniform rational b-splines), SDS (subdivision surfaces) or SCG (solid constructive geometry).
I'm not putting down Blender at all - these two packages greatly complement each other!
- fsloth 9y agoAh, so true. But, given an existing unwrapped Blender model the superb texturing capabilities are astounding. I don't have to think about specular maps, bump maps, diffuse maps etc as distinctive assets anymore. I can just paint with friggin stone, metal and dirt and scratches with data that is transferable to several rendering packages. Other packages do offer this but the affordable price of 3DCoat make it an exceptional option for hobbyists (IMO).
- pzone 9y ago3D-Coat is a fairly fully featured model creation package. It has very good texturing facilities, not as good as Substance or Modo, but very good. Actually the single best feature in 3D-Coat is its UV unwrapping and editing functionality.
