In terms of painting, there is Substance Painter, but it is a pain to get running on anything other than CentOS, and I don't think it is as rich in features as 3D Coat.ģD Coat runs OK via Wine, but it will never be the ideal. In terms of sculpting, Zbrush and Mudbox aren't really an option for Linux users. I am only a lowly hobbyist, but the Linux version what drew me in. I don't think Pilgway should underestimate the appeal of having a native Linux version. I therefore held off, and have held off ever since. It kind of annoys me that you have to pay an additional $40 just to add another OS but, nevertheless, I was on the cusp of doing this right when the Linux builds were stopped. I always intended (and still do intend) to purchase a Linux licence for 3D Coat. As it happens, this has worked out well for me, as I can use 3D Coat on Wine (more or less), but I would be pretty annoyed if I hadn't.

Admittedly, for reasons I won't go into, I actually purchased a Windows licence first. Having a native Linux version was a big selling point of 3D Coat for me. If I was Pilgway, I would be a bit uncomfortable about continuing to advertise and sell Linux licences. See navigation panel.I am also getting increasing pessimistic about seeing a native Linux build again. Rotation mode quick switch - around Y or free rotation. Now UI elements and font size will automatically fit your screen resolution. Now you can define with an ease of a brush stroke how big the depth of scanning will be. Set your proxy degree with an easy slider movement. Possibility to change resolution of textures, attached materials will automatically be re-sampled! We are getting closer and closer to a low-poly modeling! New Primitives in Retopo room: cylinder, torus, cube, ellipse, spiral, etc. This is crucial for Smart Materials to be looking even more realistic. Possibility to attach Smart Materials to layers! Materials managing becomes even easier. Today 3DCoat is available to learn at 300+ Universities, Colleges, and Schools worldwide. 3D-Coat is the one application that has all the tools you need to take your 3D idea from a block of digital clay all the way to a production-ready, fully textured organic or hard surface model.
