The stability of the software is severely lacking, with users reporting frequent crashes, bugs, and glitches that hinder usability. Despite its potential as a powerful tool for retopology and painting, the interface is not user-friendly, and the software often freezes, making it difficult to use for extended periods. Overall, many reviewers cannot recommend the software until significant stability improvements are made.
“Don't get me wrong, it would be an amazing tool for retopo if you could use it for more than 5 minutes, after which it glitches out.”
“You will experience consistent crashes, bugs, and glitches - I've had cases where simply clicking a tool would crash me.”
“I've bought the professional version (379€) and while the software has great potential where other software can't even compete, I cannot recommend 3D Coat until they fix the serious bugs and freezes.”
