gSculpt
|
gSculpt is an open source, procedural subdivision modeller. It has a comprehensive set of polygon modelling tools, including most of those found in Wings 3D, and more.
Workflow and speed of use are important design goals in the development of gSculpt. Pre-selection highlighting throughout the program, and keyboard short cuts ensure that the workflow is fast and efficient, while providing access to a powerful procedural system which allows mistakes to be rectified easily.
Its procedural modelling system makes it an excellent choice for making modelling tutorials, as the steps required to build the model from the beginning are displayed to the user in a list. This list can be navigated easily, allowing a user to view the process one step at a time, at their own pace, while being able too look at the model from all angles as they go.
gSculpt can import and export Wavefront Object (.obj) model files.
For Win32 Users:
Please download the gSculpt installer and the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable (links to the left). Install both packages by running them. Two shortcuts to gSculpt will be created; one in the start menu, and the other on your desktop. Restart your computer. Use either of the aforementioned shortcuts to start gSculpt.
For Windows 7/Vista Users:
In order for gSculpt to function correctly under Windows Vista, you will need to disable desktop compositing (gSculpt uses OpenGL, and Vista desktop compositing is not compatible with OpenGL). Modifying the shortcut so that gSculpt runs in Administrator mode may help too.
gSculpt is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2.
Installation on Windows
Run the gSculpt MSI installer to install gSculpt. Two shortcuts to gSculpt will be created; one in the start menu in a folder called gSculpt <version>, and another on your dekstop. Start gSculpt by running either of these.
A warning about gSculpt being alpha release software will attempt to scare you away. If you are tough enough, click OK, and the main gSculpt window will appear.
