Do
you like to
draw and sketch, tweak and sculpt? Are
you looking for
an affordable, quick and easy 3D
modeler
to explore your 3D creativity? Look
no further,
you have
found it! It's
called Curvy 3D, and it's
from Aartform!
Curvy 3D is
intuitive, playfully artsy, fast, and
works well with Project Dogwaffle as well
as other painting and
animation programs
with 3D layers and 3D rendering &
animation tools. It lets you
create
colormaps, bump maps, displacement maps,
highlight maps and much more. And on top
of it you feel like drawing,
not like modeling in 3D. This is not for
technical, polygon-focused
people who dream in 3D. This is a great
tool for 2D minds who want to
explore 3D and stick to what they know: 2D
curves, profiles, contours
and painting. You want this tool to use
your drawn brush
strokes to create 3D shapes... works
well with tablets!
Whether you
already
use other
3D modeling and animation tools like Bryce
or Carrara,
or whether you are starting
from scratch with 3D and are coming to
this new dimension with a 2D
artist's mind,
this is a companion 3D
modeler you don't want to miss.
Just
draw
it. Try a brush stroke or two, then
re-select a curve from your
drawn object, and reshape or fine tune it.
Make unlimited variants from
a base object - in seconds! Your boss says
that teapot needs to look
the other way, or the monster crab needs
more teeth and claws? No
problem!
Curvy
has
a phenomenal smoothing tool to nicely
blend transitions between two
merged parts. Just click a key (S for
Smooth) and see the magic happen
in real time.
You can then also further tweak the
shapes, even after converting them
to meshes. Poke at them, smooth them
locally with the brush, or disrupt
the surface for a skipey, no-touchie look.
Hands-off!
Then, place bones and rig your model, and
pose it for the perfect
snapshot to integrate into another layer
with your imaging program, or
save the rigged pose in 3D for further use
in 3D layers and other 3D
tools and games.
Curvy 3D v2 also adds Image-based
sculpting. You load an image with
White shapes on black background - it's
that easy. The program does the
rest, and a few clicks later you have 3D
models based on your original
sketches and drawings. 3D from 2D, a dream
come true, and it's ready
for you to paint color, bumpmaps,
displacements and highlights.

Here is another look at what's possible with
Curvy 3D version 2.0:
Please
note: You
can
test Curvy 3D on your computers with a free
demo.
Successfully running the demo ensures that your
computer
meets the minimum specification requirements to run
Curvy 3D. This is
not usually required but might still be a good idea
if you have an old
system or low end graphics card. Note that Curvy 3D
now comes with an
alternate renderer that also works in most cases
even when full 3D
features may not be in place.
