Innovative tools for the simple pleasure to create

Direct and user friendly, Argile is divided into three main Studios: Sculpture, Textures and Render.

Modeling
Import directly your model into the Sculpture Studio to shape it according to your imagination.
Forget about polygons, Argile lets you manipulate the objects as if they were made out of clay.
Forget about complex interfaces, Argile offers natural and direct tools that invite you to create and research shapes.


With its intuitive, powerful and innovative tools, this Studio offers the opportunity to customize completely your model. As easy as if you were drawing, smooth your models, accent or soften reliefs, retouch with precision a detail, add a crease... model quickly and with softness.
A couple of minutes only will be needed to remodel a face, to create the several steps of the transformation (morph targets).


Texturing and Painting
Play with materials, transparency and reflections, apply images and bumps in a few clicks.
Paint on volumes as naturally as on paper to try out materials and effects. In real time, your brush strokes add colors, transparency, bump, normal mapping...


The 3D Paint module offers a full set of drawing tools and a bunch of original and convenient options to combine unlimited graphic effects: blend materials and textures, blur, create recurrent patterns, transfer directly textures from a background image, move in real time an image on an object to place it...


Rendering
Your model is ready for picture, enter the Render Studio and in a few seconds Argile calculates a high resolution image for quick visualization, for impression or to edit it in a 2D application.
