3D Sculpting & Modeling

Model, sculpt and paint with precision

Unlike other art forms, games are interactive and rely on real-time rendering to respond to the imagination of each of player. Creating a low polygon 3D model in Autodesk® Maya® lets you quickly explore how your superhero will walk, run, jump, and fly in any environment. This makes refining your model fast and easy, compared to using a mouse. With your pressure-sensitive pen, you can use the sculpt geometry tool or 3D texturing tool to mold and shape your character with incredible detail, like you’re working with clay. Change head size, body density, and muscle features, or add a futuristic look to your character for life-like results.

Discover a new level of detail

With the basic shape, structure, and refinements in place, you can digitally sculpt and texture your combat superhero with a new level of surface detail, adding in splines and patches to make it more realistic. With an extensive array of sculpting tools, Autodesk Maya takes advantage of the pressure sensitivity delivered in the Wacom pen, so you can add in subtle wrinkles and intense facial expressions with light pressure, or introduce battle scars and big muscles with more pressure. Whatever you decide to do, you’ll have intuitive control every step of the way.

Animate easily, with a new level of control and comfort

Visually appealing and smoothly animated 3D characters are one of the most important aspects of today's popular video games. With a creative pen display and cutting-edge 3D paint tools, like Pixologic ZBrush, you can use your brush of choice to color and add detail to clothes, skin, hair, or muscle. Apply bulging veins or introduce subtle color changes to your character's flak jacket. With the intuitivity of the pressure-sensitive pen and the natural feel of creating directly on-screen, you can stay focused on your creations for a more efficient workflow.

Improve rendering speed for a more efficient workflow

In 3D sculpting and animation, high-speed rendering is crucial to the success of any character and game. You may have the most amazing-looking combat hero, but if rendering speeds are too slow, movements will appear clunky and unnatural. With V-Ray®, you can easily adjust the lightingand shading and render your 3D assets at incredibly fast speeds. With the speed and connectivity of a creative pen display, you can collaborate with concept artists, riggers, and animators in real-time, getting it right the first time. Work smarter and faster in several programs at once, with the freedom to use what you want when you want.
