Easy Texturing & PBR
- Microvertex, Per-pixel or Ptex painting approaches
- Realtime Physically Based Rendering viewport with HDRL
- Smart Materials with easy set-up options
- Multiple paint Layers. Popular blending modes. Layer groups

Digital Sculpting
Digital Sculpting
Voxel (volumetric) sculpting key features:
- No topological constraints. Sculpt as you would with Clay
- Complex boolean operations. Fast kit bashing workflow
Traditional sculpting offers you such powerful technology as:
- Adaptive dynamic tesselation (Live Clay)
- Dozens of fast and fluid sculpting brushes
- Boolean operations with crisp edges

Retopology
Ultimate Retopo Tools
- Auto-retopology (AUTOPO) with user-defined edge loops
- Fast and easy-to-use manual Retopo tools
- Possibility to import reference mesh for retopologization
- Use your current low-poly mesh as your retopo mesh
- Retopo groups with color palette for better management
- Advanced baking settings dialog
- And more...
UV Mapping
Fast & Friendly UV Mapping
- Professional toolset for creating and editing UV-sets
- Native Global Uniform (GU) unwrapping algorithm
- Multiple UV-sets support and management
- Support ABF, LSCM, and Planar unwrapping algorithms
- Individual islands tweaking
- Lastly, it is fast, easy, and fun to use.

Changes:
29.09.2015 4.7.11[beta]
- Primitives for retopo room. This is rather template than complete toolset. Only one primitive present there, list will be essentially extended in next update.
- Coat tool. This is non-destructive and precise version of VoxLayer. This is important step, it opens family of nondestructive tools in 3D-Coat.
- Imput decreased (the time between human's action and visual feedback on the screen).
- Enable VoXRay in surface tools, Backface culling will be turned off in VoXRay tool.
- Correct normals sampling usage in Live Clay based tools.
- Fixed crash related to extrusion using "Initial vertex normals".
- Everywhere in primitives edit boxes replaced with sliders.
- Better quality for 3D lasso selection
- Undo for renaming layer
- a lot if small stability fixes.
