Aartform Curvy 3D - Powerful and Versatile 3D Sculpting

Post by Simon »

Aartform Curvy 3D is a powerful and versatile 3D sculpting software designed to make creating complex organic forms and characters easy and intuitive. With its intuitive sketch-based modelling, robust curve and mesh editing tools, and powerful sculpting and painting tools it allows users to create intricate and detailed 3D models quickly and easily.

The first step in the sculpting process is to draw a profile which will create a fully rounded 3D form. From here more curves can be added to refine the shape and create organic characters and creatures. Curvy 3D makes it easy to shape curves and meshes with its soft move tools, and users can also import SVG curves.

Separate shapes can also be merged together to create a continuous skin using Voxel Merge or Weld. For more precision, users can also use the Boolean And and Subtract operators to cut into a model.

Sculpting by painting is also possible with Curvy 3D. Warp brushes let you add details to the model surface, creating bumps and grooves as you paint. It also features Inflate, Deflate, Pinch, Smooth and Flatten brushes.

Adaptive Subdivision Sculpting is also possible with Curvy 3D. Meshes divide as you sculpt, allowing you to put the detail exactly where you need it while keeping the overall triangle count low. The mesh simplification tool also allows users to reverse the process if needed.

Painting in 3D is also possible with Curvy 3D. Users can paint on colour, specular, and bumpmaps in either the 3D views or on the 2D textures. It also features a variety of brush shapes, a dropper tool and a smooth brush to work on texture maps.

Materials and lighting can also be applied to Curvy 3D models. Its Curvy Lightmap technology lets users apply materials and lighting together. They can choose from plastic, clay or metallic Lightmaps (and many more) or paint their own.

The Image Inflate tool takes a silhouette or greyscale image and produces a 3D model using Heightmap, Bubble, Bevel and Extrude styles. This is great for creating pieces of armour and other intricate shapes quickly and easily.

Speed sculpting is also possible with Curvy 3D. Users can draw Lathes and use Quick Merge All to turn them into a smooth skin ready for sculpting. Curvy 3D is very fast at making an accurate basemesh for high resolution sculpting.

When your 3D model is finished it can be exported to OBJ to animate and render in other software like Blender. It can also be exported to other graphics software such as Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator.

For those looking for a powerful and intuitive 3D sculpting software, Aartform Curvy 3D is the perfect choice. It features a wide range of tools and features for quickly and easily creating complex organic forms and characters.
