Aartform Curvy 3D has new volumetric sculpting tools that makes basemesh
creation incredibly easy. You can draw the shapes for your model then
merge the shapes together to create a seamless base mesh. This is great
for rapid content creation and produces an even mesh for detailing in
other modelling software.
Curvy's hand drawn curves turn effortlessly into rounded forms and, with
no UV mapping required, can be textured and exported ready for instant
conversion to Sculpted Prims. Curvy is the easiest sculptie program for
Second Life.
Curvy is great at organic art, and now adds a full set of digital clay
tools to its drawing toolset. Warp brushes let you sculpt as easily as
you can paint colours onto the surface. You can pinch, and buldge,
roughen, smooth and flatten the model easily. 3D Sculpting is easy and
fun with Curvy.
Artists with an interest in getting into computer graphics appreciate
the sketch based graphic tools and intuitive controls to shape and
sculpt models in Curvy - it is all simple and non-technical, you don't
have to work with individual triangles. And it is easy to use Curvy
models with programs like Bryce, Poser, Fragmotion & Meshlab, both
for import and to export then render.
Curvy has improved obj export so it is easier to use Curvy models in
other rendering software. You can also save hi-resolution screenshots
from Curvy's views for use in another graphics program, and Curvy's TGA
screenshots support Alpha for easy compositing in your graphics program.
Originally a sketch-based sculpting program, Curvy now lets you create
image based 3D models using a simple image inflate tool. This is handy
for photo based modelling and for shapes that are much easier to create
as a graphic design rather than a 3D model.
Lighting and texturing are easy in Curvy as the viewports are always use
the best realtime render settings. You can paint on bump and
displacement maps and see the results as you paint. Image creation is
WYSIWYG making for friendly artist software. Curvy's realtime renderer
lets you create a wide range of materials (eg: skin, glass, metal) using
lightmaps.
A sculpting tool designed for easy 3-d modelling, suitable for - Curvy
is compatable with most leading graphics tools. Curvy has been used as
fast concept visualization software, image creation, illustration
artwork, and game modelling, and is increasingly used to generate
basemesh geometry for hi-resolution sculpting.
