Argile 1.0.3
Argile is a new artistic studio dedicated to visualize, sculpt and retouch 3D models.
Its flexibility and ergonomics will turn Argile into the indispensable companion to make morphs, to sculpt a model and paint it in real time.
In a couple of minutes you will get used to this powerful and intuitive original toolbox.
Sculpt
Argile’s core, the Sculpture Studio invites you to explore shapes.
Along with the complete set of classic highlights (automatic detection and selection of points/vertices/faces, rotation, dilatation, displacement, constraints…), Argile offers a palette of unique brushes to manipulate a model as if it is clay, to add fine information, to shape the model as you want. These natural and intuitive brushes permit you literally feel the volume of the models through the mouse. Other original tools aid you soften or accent the relief as if you were drawing.
With Argile you'll be capable to refine your model in great detail and sculpt it exactly as you please!
Paint
Does your model need to be enriched with colors and materials?
The 3D Paint palette lets you paint on the mesh as easily and naturally as drawing on a canvas. In real time, add textures, colors, transparency, bump, normal mapping… to your 3D models
A complete and very innovative 3D paint module that widely opens the gates to your creativity.
Photograph
Fine tweak shadows and lights, give an atmosphere to the scene… and in no time the rendering engine calculates an pic of your objects and compositions. In supplement a Cartoon render is accessible to explore new graphic impact.
This render module is also beneficial to visualize immediately your retouches, prepare compositing, or quickly render an illustration!
