What is SculptGL?
SculptGL is a powerful 3D sculpting application that runs directly in web browsers powered by WebGL. As an open-source program, SculptGL provides artists and hobbyists with an accessible and completely free tool for digital sculpting and 3D modeling.
Using SculptGL, users can create original 3D artwork by pulling, pinch, twisting, and smoothing virtual clay. The software provides an intuitive sculpting experience using a variety of brushes including addition, subtraction, drag, pinch, and flatten. Complex organic models can be created thanks to the dynamic tessellation that enables detailing at multiple scales.
Other key features of SculptGL include:
- Symmetry mode to easily create symmetric shapes
- Multiple customizable brushes
- Layers and masks for advanced editing
- Import and export models with OBJ, GLB, and other standard 3D formats
- Undo and redo to easily fix mistakes
- Real-time rendering powered by WebGL for instant feedback
As a web-based application that runs directly inside web browsers, SculptGL makes digital sculpting available to anyone without the need to download or install any specialty software programs. The tool provides amateur 3D artists and hobbyists with professional-quality sculpting capabilities completely for free.
