Ryan Schmidt, researcher at the University of Toronto, has released the latest version of his 3D modeling tool designed for combining parts from different 3D models. The free software gains great modeling and sculpting capabilities. New features include:
– New set of volumetric mesh sculpting brushes, with dynamic refinement to keep your mesh tidy and to let you quickly “erase” just about anything
– Drag brush for quickly adding and removing volume
– BubbleSmooth brush rounds instead of flattening
– RobustSmooth brush is independent of mesh density
– Draw / Pinch / Flatten / Inflate brushes
– Spikes brush for adding spiky features
– New color scheme options
– Export-on-crash recovery option, for the bugs
– Performance improvements and bug fixes
A new features video is available on YouTube.
