applications (3ds Max, Maya, Softimage, etc.)

• Complete UV editing, 3D painting and sculpting feature set

• Includes additional CINEMA 4D Prime functions (modeling, animation, rendering)

3D Painting & SculptingWhere texture projection has reached its limits, BodyPaint 3D can help in creating the right surface. Its toolset catapults all 2D painting tools into the 3rd dimension, making it a cut above the rest for painting complex 3D objects.

BodyPaint 3D also includes an integrated sculpting feature. Using these modeling tools or the import function you can add fine details such as wrinkles, creases or bulging to ploygon objects.

UV EditingA clean UV mesh is vital for texturing objects, in parti-cular for 3D painting and for baking sculpted objects. BodyPaint 3D‘s UV tools can be used to perfectly optimize UV coordinates for texturing.
