Pilgway has posted a new video tour of the main toolsets in 3D-Coat, its voxel sculpting and topology package, including some of the tools developed during the open beta of 3D-Coat 4.0.
We rounded up the new features from the start of the open beta period here: notably, the option to paint directly onto voxel sculpts, and LiveClay: a new dynamic tessellation system similar to ZBrush’s DynaMesh.
Since then, VoxLayer and VoxExtrude, which create new geometry from the surface of a model – useful for clothing or armour – have been improved, and there have been updates to the painting and UV mapping tools.
There’s still no word on the date of the commercial release of 3D-Coat 4.0, but Pilgway is continuing the ‘buy version 3 now and get a free upgrade when it’s released’ offer we mentioned in our original story.
