【數位雕刻工具】3DCoat 4.9 專注於遊戲模型的細節設計
3D-Coat（又名：3DCoat）是一種數字雕刻軟體（來自烏克蘭），專為遊戲模型的藝術設計工作（即細節設計）而設計。
它不僅集各種實時3D模型紋理映射和細節雕刻功能於一體，還支援拓撲，體積雕刻，硬體編譯等重要功能。
此外，它使用法線貼圖作為視窗顯示技術，大大加快了檢視和編輯對象的速度。
3D-Coat延伸功能中最獨特的功能是方便的拓撲結構。與ZBrush不同，3D-Coat的拓撲結構支援多種模式。
此外，雖然3D-Coat的UV貼圖功能不如某些專業的UV軟體那麼方便，但與ZBrush和Autodesk Mudbox相比，它已經相當不錯了。
另外，3D-Coat的圖層映射功能也非常強大，至少它比Mudbox和ZBrush要好得多。
在寫這篇文章時，3D-Coat仍然是主動更新，因此你會發現它的官方介紹內容已經由時了。
另一方面，它的頻繁更新表明很難預測它將來會成為什麼樣的數字雕刻/繪畫軟體。

3D-Coat (AKA: 3DCoat) is a digital sculpturing software (from Ukraine) that is specially designed for the art design work (i.e., details design) of game models. It not only integrates various real-time 3D model texture mapping and detail sculpture functions in one place, but also supports topology, volume sculpture, hardware rendering, and other important features. Moreover, it uses the normal mapping as window display technique, which greatly accelerates the speed to view and edit objects.
The most distinctive function in 3D-Coat’s extended functionality is the convenient topology. Unlike ZBrush, 3D-Coat’s topology supports a variety of manners. In addition, although 3D-Coat’s UV mapping feature is not as convenient as some specialized UV software, it has already been pretty good compared with ZBrush and Autodesk Mudbox. Plus, the layer mapping function of 3D-Coat is quite powerful too, at least it is much better than Mudbox and ZBrush.
As of writing this post, 3D-Coat remains active updates, so that you will find that its official introduction content has been out of date. For another, its frequent update indicates that it is difficult to predict what kind of digital sculpturing/painting software it will finally become in the future.
