Toronto,
Canada; March
25, 2009 -- Blacksmith3D,
an independent 3D graphics design applications company
(www.blacksmith3d.com)
has launched a new version of its 3D Painting, Morphing,
& Modeling
Software
– Blacksmith3D-Suite v3.2, allowing easy integration with 3ds
Max & featuring Alpha Mask Support.
Offering
a large variety of painting & image editing tools, as well as
easy to use morphing and bonus modeling tools; this package was
designed to streamline 3D texturing & painting workflow and
intended for artists to paint textures directly onto the 3D models
utilizing smooth continuous brush strokes.
The
new Blacksmith3D-Suite v3.2 software package allows you to:
- paint
across UV seams as if they didn't exist
- paint
textures with Alpha Masks (RGBA)
- use
the Clone Tool for texturing (just like in Photoshop™)
directly to/from the 3D models
- auto
UV Map objects with a click of a single button (or use existing UV
Mapping)
- use
'touch-up' painting tool with Smudge & Blur, Hue &
Saturation, etc.
- use
the Soft Selection Tool to paint & morph models in a smooth,
organic way.
- use
smooth continuous brush strokes to paint directly on the model with
optional drawing tablet support
- compatible
with most design packages that import/export OBJ files
“The
entire philosophy of Blacksmith3D-Paint can be summed up in two
words, 'Just
Paint'.
With a single click, auto UV Map an object, or use an already mapped,
choose a brush, and 'Just
Paint'!
I spent years developing the techniques for seamless painting so the
artist doesn't have to spend time tweaking UV maps & fixing UV
seams and focus on creating
great art.",
explains
the lead developer, and CEO of Blacksmith3D, David Fielder.
”With
so few 3D paint applications on the market, Blacksmith3D-Paint is
both powerful and affordable, which makes it a welcome addition to
any 3D graphic artist's tool set.”

software includes a freeware version (including alpha mask support &
