ClayTools and FreeForm digital 3D modeling systems


Not many CgArtists are aware about these Out-of-the-Box tools which features touch-enabled 3D Modeling solutions for digital content creation. Both ClayTools and FreeForm are touch-enabled modeling applications which use a device called PHANTOM Haptic Device for 3d modeling and sculpting. The PHANTOM Haptic Devices comes in two variant; the 'PHANTOM Desktop and PHANTOM Omni haptic device' which are true 3D interfaces with force feedback that enable designers and modelers to use their sense of touch to model with virtual clay; just like real clay.
ClayTools works with PHANTOM Omni™ haptic device, while FreeForm Modeling system works with both variants. Among these two variants, the PHANTOM Desktop delivers higher fidelity, stronger forces, and lower friction. ClayTools system offers fast organic shapes Modeling for Digital Content Creation & Fine Arts, while FreeForm offers modeling with precision for product design and rapid prototyping. ClayTools system can be used with 3ds Max®, Maya®, Rhino™, and other design applications that support .stl and .obj. All-n-all a note-worthy product especially if you are weak in; usually a tedious job - "organic modeling" or your studio wants to improve 3d modeling productivity.For more information, please visit: www.sensable.com/products-sensable-overview.htm.
