Argile is a new artistic studio dedicated to visualizing, sculpting and retouching 3D models. Its flexibility and ergonomics will turn Argile into an indispensable companion to create morphs, sculpt a model and paint them in real time. It takes only a couple of minutes to get used to the powerful and intuitive toolbox.

SCULPT
Argile's core, the Sculpture Studio, invites you to explore shapes.
Along with a complete set of classic features (automatic detection and selection of points/vertices/faces, rotation, dilatation, displacement, constraints, etc.), Argile offers a palette of unique brushes to manipulate a model as if it is clay, add fine details and shape the model as desired. These natural and intuitive brushes let you literally feel the volume of the models through the mouse. Other original tools help you soften or accent the relief as if you were drawing.

In no time at all you will be able to refine your model to the final details and sculpt it according to your imagination!

PAINT
Does your model need to be enriched with colors and materials? The 3D Paint palette lets you paint on the mesh as easily and naturally as drawing on a canvas. In real time, add textures, colors, transparency, bump, normal mapping, etc. to your 3D models

This complete and very innovative 3D paint module opens the gates to your creativity.

PHOTOGRAPH
Fine tune shadows and lighting and add an atmosphere to the scene. The rendering engine quickly calculates a render of your objects and compositions. In addition, a Cartoon render is available to explore new graphic avenues.

This render module is also useful for immediately visualizing your retouches, compositing or for quickly rendering an illustration!

Notice: the export plug-ins and Model Packs Pro of the QUIDAM range are not compatible with Argile.
