Free and pretty robust modelers

I discovered two sculpting tools (IOW, zBrush competitors, in a vague way):

Adobe Substance modeler 3D beta

first, create an account for Adobe, or log in if you're registered


Here's the software

What they tell you is that it's free to download without restrictions. What they don't really tell you that as a public beta, the ting will time out eventually.

On the other hand, quietly, a very, very decent alternative to zBrush called 3DCoat (Print), located in the Ukraine God help their souls—pilgway.com. It doesn't have all the features of the commercial version, I'd say more than 80% after paying with it. It's your to keep, no time-put no limits to the features in the software.

3D Coat for free

gary, thank you for the 3DCoat (Print) free link. I've downloaded but not yet installed.

Another day.

Addendum: Pilgway software developers are located in Ukraine.

Yep, and they're almost begging anyone interested to buy a license.

No guilt here: we already donated $$$$ through a charity for Ukrainians.

I downloaded the trial, and I'll play with it, but unlikely to purchase. There are other 3D programs standing in line as purchases before I'd ever buy that.

I understand completely, Gameprinter.

I'm walking away, very slowly, from C4D, because I no longer can afford it. I began with version 9, and today, the latest is great, but three times that price. On the other hand, Blender is continuously being upgraded, i'm trying to learn their fluid dynamics—of which C4D has always required a third-partry plug-in—and Blender is free.

I'm going to delete 3D Coat from my drive because I'm too tempted the use it for free when the Ukrainians need the $$$. I'm not playing Holier-than-Thou, please everyone understand.

I have very few ethics (!), but I gotta draw a line somewhere. Because I'm an artist.

Get it? Artist...draw the line?

Is it Friday yet?


My Best,

Gary
