Procedural 3D software for film, TV and game pipelines on 64-bit Windows 11, Apple Silicon Macs and Linux. The Indie licence applies only under revenue or funding limits, and it suits pipeline work more than hand modeling like ZBrush. A sculpting specialist that runs on desktop and iPad under one subscription, with painting and rendering tools. It is narrower than Blender and suits organic and hard-surface models rather than CAD.
