Blacksmith3D is compatible with
Blacksmith3D-Transporter connects Blacksmith3D to 3D Studio Max directly. Others apps use OBJ import/export for
objects, and common image formats (TIF, JPG, PNG, etc) for texture maps.
Blacksmith3D-Paint
3D Paint
You will be amazed to discover that with Blacksmith3D you can now paint across UV seams as if they didn't exist! The 3D paint feature is extremely powerful, and allows you to paint textures directly onto 3D objects instead of going back and forth between your 2D paint and 3D modeling applications.

Blacksmith3D-Morph
Blacksmith3D-Morph functionality utilizes Soft Selections allowing you to deform objects in a very intuitive way. Using the analogy of a blacksmith, Blacksmith3D-Morph allows you to "heat up" and "deform" objects in a very intuitive way. The hotter portions of the object deform the most and the cooler parts deform the least. In this way, you can easily create smooth and continuous morphs, with little effort.

Blacksmith3D-Modeler
New to the Blacksmith3D tool set is Blacksmith3D-Modeler. The
modeler has been designed for adding detail to existing 3D objects
with ease. The unique thing about Blacksmith3D-Modeler is that
each modeling operation preserves the existing morph targets.
So if you have a character with 100's of facial morphs, and you
want to make some geometric changes to the mesh, then the morph targets
will be adjusted automatically!
Not sold separately. Only available with Blacksmith3D-Suite 3.2

Hardware Compatibility
Here we provide a general guideline for the minimum hardware requirements. The true requirements will depend upon
the nature of your projects (low vs. high resolution models and maps) and your personal expectations as far as performance is concerned.
For additional information about OpenGL compatibility and your video card, please click here.
- Open GL 1.1 compatible video card (most modern NVidia, ATI, and Intel GPUs supported.)
- Drawing Tablet support (optional)
- Optimized for Dual-Core Processors (Sweet!)
- Minimum 1 GHz CPU recommended
- 1 GB of RAM or more recommended, depending on usage. When editing high resolution texture maps (e.g. 4000x4000), 2 GB of RAM or more is recommended for optimal performance.
