My own decisions are for hard surface LightWave with or without LWCad. More natural chiseling is done in 3D-Coat. Haven’t discovered anything that improves, and as a decent reward these are additionally a portion of the least expensive arrangements. http://www.makuv.in/

3D Coat is a great alternative to ZBrush that is much easier to learn, with a traditional UI that maps to other 3D software. They even have a stripped down version (3DC Printing) for $50 that is specifically geared towards 3D printing with real world measurements… https://3dcoat.com/3dcprinting/

I did not know you used Blender from some backend tooling, is there more published about that? I would be really interested to learn more about how you use Blender.

Blender is my go-to tool of choice and easy to extend with a bit of Python scripting.

In reply to Noah. Very true. I use max for prints all the time and might revert to mudbox because i still think zbrush has a very clumsy and confusing UI (to me that is).

My personal choices are for hard surface LightWave with or without LWCad. More organic sculpting is done in 3D-Coat. Haven’t found anything that does the job better, and as a nice bonus these are also some of the cheapest solutions.

What is with Cinema 4d ?
Which combines CAD sculpt and modeling and rendering too .
Zzz …. you screwed it. C4D is one of the oldest!

Pity, is probably more a support of the above software and not
Independently.

I’m mainly a 2D graphics artist for the gaming industry when it comes to art, creating 3D models is something I’ve only recently started doing on a regular basis, first for the purpose of creating 1:1 scale 3D printed replica items based on movies and games.

I’ve wanted for several years to get into model making, for creating miniatures and statuettes, have owned licenses for several sculpting softwares for years but never set aside enough time to tame any of the programs. I tried perhaps 8-10 different softwares before landing on Autodesk Fusion 360, which is a blessing to work with. ZBrush and 3D Coat is still something I’m slowly learning, but they are not as intuitive to learn as I would want them to be. Blender gave me a headache after 10-15 minutes, that one was a quick uninstall.

In reply to James William Kincaid III. Looks interesting. But I'm not too keep on it. Too advanced for people where Sculptris would suffice, too limited for people where full toolset is necessary.
