About 3D Coat
3D Coat is an advanced 3D design software focused on creating high-quality models and texturing. It is particularly popular among game artists, character designers, and visual effects professionals due to its powerful tools and capabilities. its main features and benefits: Voxel and Surface Sculpting: 3D Coat offers two main types of sculpting: voxel-based and surface-based. Voxel sculpting allows artists to work without worrying about the underlying topology, facilitating the creation of complex shapes. Surface sculpting, on the other hand, is polygon-based, enabling fine details and precise control over the mesh. Modeling Tools: The software includes a wide range of modeling tools, from extrusions and bevels to cutting and boolean operations. These tools allow for the creation of precise and detailed geometries. PBR (Physically Based Rendering) Painting: 3D Coat excels in PBR texture painting, allowing artists to create realistic materials that convincingly react to light in various environments. Painting can be done directly on the 3D model, with support for multiple layers and channels. Texturing Tools: The software offers advanced texturing tools, including customizable brushes, procedural textures, and cloning tools. This allows users to create detailed and realistic textures efficiently. Automatic and Manual Retopology: 3D Coat provides both automatic and manual retopology capabilities. Automatic retopology is useful for quickly creating efficient topology, while manual tools allow for precise adjustments where needed. UV Mapping: The software includes powerful UV mapping tools, making it easy to create efficient and distortion-free UV maps. These tools include automatic unwrapping, packing, and manual UV editing. Real-Time Rendering: 3D Coat features a real-time rendering engine that allows artists to instantly see the results of their textures and materials. This is useful for making on-the-fly adjustments and ensuring the model looks good under different lighting conditions. Exporting: The software supports exporting to numerous file formats, facilitating integration with other 3D design programs and game engines like Unity and Unreal Engine. In summary, 3D Coat is a versatile and powerful tool for 3D modeling, texturing, and sculpting. Its combination of intuitive and advanced tools makes it suitable for both beginners and seasoned professionals in the field of 3D design. With a focus on quality and efficiency, 3D Coat remains a popular choice in the digital content creation industry.

Tutors & Services Philosophy
Don't Learn Alone
Professionals these days are sitting alone and staring at their computers. They spend years searching online for tools that will increase their workplace efficiency—digging through forums and watching lengthy videos for the right CAD or visualization tip.
Sometimes they just have one small question that would take a person two minutes to answer, but customer support lines are a thing of the past. Big companies will direct you to an FAQ that will hardly begin to answer your question.
Bring Back the Human Connection
We strive to bring human connection back to the work environment. Our tutors work directly with you to solve your problems, similar to the way an apprentice works hand-in-hand with a skilled professional.
Screen-share technologies like Zoom have allowed us to work together in real time. We can see each others' screens and cursors, switch presenters to share information easily, and even turn on webcams for a more human interaction. Learn efficiently across workflows like architectural rendering, interiors, mechanical modeling, and construction documentation.
Tutors, Services, or Both
Sometimes our clients want to learn a program from beginning to end; sometimes they completely hand over the services to us; and other times, they want something in between.
Some clients want to be able to use the program on a basic level and let us do the hard stuff. Others want to co-work with us, supervising our work to ensure their artistic vision is realized. Along the way, they learn the tools—whether that’s SketchUp, Blender, Fusion 360, Revit, or AutoCAD.
By the end of the process, some clients are able to wean themselves completely off of our services and are empowered to do the work themselves. If they get stuck or behind on a deadline, they use us as a lifeline. They can call anytime—even if it’s just a 10-minute question—we are here to help.
