Two modelling tools that take unconventional and relatively easy approaches have been released, within a few days of each other. Both are from solo developers who are doing good work at the coal-face of digital content production. <\/p>\n

Neobarok 2.0<\/strong><\/p>\n

It appears that Neobarok 2.0<\/a> is available. While the site’s headline banner still has this as “Coming soon!”, below the banner are now links to a “Neobarok 2.0.g for Windows” and Linux download, and “The guide and tutorials for 2.0 are online.” So, at a guess, this 2.0.g seems to be some sort of final pre-released late-beta? It’s totally free open source software, offering intuitive modelling and sculpting<\/a> and paint, plus it appears to make complex boolean operations simple to do.<\/p>\n

Curvy 3D 4.0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The second is the easy-to-use Aartform Curvy 3D 4.0<\/a>, just released. Designed for artists it’s lathe-based, which means you just sketch lines on the screen, and the software auto-lathes them up into 3D shapes. You then merge and blend these shapes together to make your mesh. Also note that… “Curvy 3D objects are created with ready-made UV maps, so you can just select a brush and start painting.”<\/p>\n

The front-page still has a link to the old 3.0 press-release, but delving into the forum shows that for the new 4.0 some of the new items are…<\/p>\n

* Adaptive Subdivision (i.e.: as you add detail, it automatically makes the mesh finer to accommodate the added detail)
\n* A new range of Primitive shapes to start working on.
\n* Now adds a full set of digital clay tools, and a stamp tool.
\n* Cleaner user-interface and nicer-looking wireframes.
\n* Improved OBJ export.
\n* Save hi-resolution screenshots with alpha masks.
\n* SVG import.<\/p>\n

Looks good, with a 30-day demo to try. It’s a perpetual licence and is currently discounted to \u00a368 inc. sales tax in the UK. That’s roughly $80. If you purchased Curvy 3D way back in version 3.0, then try this 75%-off upgrade code for 4.0: CURVY-BONUS-75<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
