Sculptris

Sculptris is a very easy to use 3D sculpting program, created by Tomas Pettersson and later developed by Pixologic, the company behind ZBrush. A very simple interface and control set make it a breeze to use, and very easy to pick up and learn. You start from a sphere or an imported mesh and shape it like digital clay; dynamic tessellation adds polygons only where you sculpt, so there is no need to plan the mesh topology in advance. Good for professional users, and amateurs, this software has something for people of every skill level.

Features:

• Easy-to-use interface including toolbox and simple controls.
• Imports and exports Wavefront OBJ meshes; Alpha 6 adds GoZ exchange with ZBrush.
• Paint mode for color and bump painting with export of texture, normal and bump maps.
• Quick help tips help you learn the software easily.

Dynamic tessellation adds detail only where you sculpt, so beginners can model organic shapes without planning the mesh.

Whether you are a first time user or a seasoned veteran, this software will help you get started creating your own 3D sculptures quickly. Symmetry and brushes such as draw, inflate, pinch and crease suit creatures and other organic models. Sculptris is free, but it is no longer developed: Pixologic dropped support for it in 2020.
