The fast and user friendly 3D retouch

Argile is a new artistic studio dedicated to visualize, sculpt and retouch 3D models.
Its flexibility and ergonomics will turn Argile into the indispensable companion to create morphs, to sculpt a model and paint it in real time.
In a couple of minutes you will get used to this powerful and intuitive original toolbox.

Sculpt

Argile's core, the Sculpture Studio invites you to explore shapes.

Along with the complete set of classic features (automatic detection and selection of points/vertices/faces, rotation, dilatation, displacement, constraints...), Argile offers a palette of unique brushes to manipulate a model as if it were clay, to add fine details, to shape the model as you want. 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 a blink you will be able to refine your model to the last details and sculpt it according to your imagination!
With Argile you will also be able to metamorphose your characters, store each steps of your retouches and visualize them immediately as animations.

Paint

Does your model need to be enriched with colors and materials?
The 3D Paint palette lets you paint directly on the mesh as easily and naturally as drawing on a canvas. In real time, add textures, colors, transparency, bump, normal mapping... to your 3D models.
Argile lets you also prepare the textures of your model in any external Paint software (like Photoshop for instance). Each modification that you make on your texture is immediately reflected into Argile's 3D OpenGL view.

Import any kind of 3D models to paint them ; thanks to its very powerful UV Projection Module, Argile allow you to dress the imported objects in a few clicks so that they can be painted on and receive textures.

A complete and very innovative 3D paint module that widely opens the gates to your creativity.

Render

Fine tune shadows and lights, give an atmosphere to the scene... and in no time the rendering engine calculates an image of your objects and compositions. In addition a Cartoon render is available to explore new graphic impact.
This render module is also useful to visualize immediately your retouches, prepare compositing, or quickly render an illustration!
