Shapelab

Shapelab is a 3D design application for organic modeling, including props, characters, concepts, 3D-printing models, and 3D-scan cleanup. Shapelab Max combines polygon sculpting with voxel sketching: forms can be blocked out as voxels and refined with polygon tools. On Windows, Max works in desktop mode or VR with a headset tethered to a PC. Sculpting includes configurable brushes, multiresolution and subdivision levels, dynamic topology, remeshing, mirroring, and hole filling. Digital pens and tablets support tilt, twist, and pressure through Wintab and Windows Ink. The app imports and exports FBX, OBJ, GLB, and STL, and saves SL3D projects. Exported models can move into Blender, Substance Painter, or Unity. Plans include Max Standalone at $9.99 per month or $49.99 per year, and Lite at $34.99 per once. A 7-day trial is available.
