Sculptris for Mac

Sculptris for Mac provides an excellent gateway into the exciting world of 3D. Its features are easy to learn, even for someone with no experience in digital art, yet robust enough for creating base models that can then be refined in other applications, such as ZBrush. Start with a sphere of virtual clay and shape it into whatever you want it to be. This is made possible in Sculptris for macOS by its amazing ability to locally redefine the internal structure of the model.

In Sculpt mode, you can edit the mesh geometry with simple brush strokes. Think of this like using sculpting tools on a lump of real-world clay. In Paint mode, you can use brushes to paint a texture that is wrapped (also known as mapped) onto the surface of your mesh.

Sculptris for Mac has been designed to be as accessible as possible to every type of artist. The interface is effortless to navigate and each feature is easy to locate. Even the most novice user is able to start creating within moments. As you become more skilled, you will begin to discover new depths within the application. Your sculpts will be taken to new levels of creativity and detail the more experienced you become.

The product offers two navigation methods to accommodate your preferences and what you're already used to. By default, the program lauches with ZBrush navigation controls known as Right-Click Navigation and Free Moving Navigation. Alternatively, the app's Original Navigation and hotkeys can be toggled on or off.

The app frees you from the need to worry about your model's geometry. As you model, the tool is constantly analyzing the surface to ensure that there are enough triangles to display the details that you're creating. If there aren't, the app automatically divides the area under the brush while leaving the rest of the model unchanged. This also allows the tool to make better use of your computer's resources, since polygons are only added where they are needed.
