3DCoat is one of the most advanced software applications for creating detailed 3D models. Where other applications in this market segment tend to specialize in one specific task, such as Digital Sculpting or Texture Painting, 3DCoat provides High-End capability across multiple tasks in an asset creation pipeline. These include Sculpting, Retopology, UV Editing, PBR Texture Painting and Rendering. So it can be called a 3D texturing software and 3D texture painting software and 3D sculpting program and Retopology software and UV mapping software and 3D rendering software all combined. All-in-one application for the creation of 3D models! Please find more here.

Yes, it's on the LEARN -> Tutorials section page on the top called Wiki (web) and Manual (PDF).

First of all we invite you to visit our LEARN -> Tutorials section. Straight from the very begining we aimed to make 3DCoat as intuitive as possible but, of course, there's always a learning curve with any sotware.

Yes, we do. When you purchase a permanent license of 3DCoat 2021 or 3DCoatTextura 2021 (starting from version 2021 and higher), you get 12 months of free program updates (the first year) starting from the date of your purchase. If you wish to continue updating your program after that 12-month period expires, at a moderate fee you can buy the upgrade to the last version of the program and get another 12 months of free updates. Visit the Store and check Upgrades banners for different products in our Store to check on the upgrade pricing. Please see our LICENSE UPGRADES POLICY for more details.

Permanent means that the license never expires and you can use it as long as you wish. For example, once you purchase 3DCoat 2021 Individual permanent license, you can continue using it for many years on without any further payments.

Subscription-based license means you continue using the program as long as your subscription is active. Choose between monthly subscription or 1 year rent plans. Subscription is an effective way to get access to the program when you need it, while saving money on your license. With the subscription-based license, your program is always up-to-date as you receive access to the latest available updates.

Rent-to-own is unique plan providing the benefits of both subscription-based and permanent licenses. This is a subscription plan of 7 continuous monthly payments. With the final 7-th payment you get a permanent license. Each monthly payment from 1st to 6th adds 3 months of license rent to your account. If you cancel your subscription at this time, you lose a chance to get the permanent license, but will retain the remaining months of license rent. For example, if you cancel after N-th payment (N from 1 to 6) you have this month plus 2*N months of rent remaining after the date of the last payment. This means that you just bought the rent of 3DCoat for 3*N months. 

If you have completed your Rent-to-Own plan and have successfully made 7 monthly payments, you will automatically receive the permanent license with the concluding 7th payment. The rest of your rent will be disabled as you will receive a permanent license instead with 12 months of Free Updates included, starting from the date of the final 7th payment. With the final 7th payment you will be given a permanent license , so you can continue using it as long as you wish. That all makes Rent-to-own an excellent choice for those who target to obtain a permanent license, but not ready to pay for it at once. Please, check the license description to find out more information about this option.
