04Is 3DCoat worth the money?
At €379 once, 3DCoat puts sculpting, modeling, retopology, UV mapping, painting, texturing and rendering in one app. That price may suit an individual who needs several of those tools, but we can’t judge it against competing products from the available pricing information. The license is node-locked, updates are free for 12 months, and other plan prices are missing. There is no free plan, only a 30-day trial. Use the trial to assess fit and the learning curve before paying.
