Reasons to like Curvy: 1- Can I run it? Yep... Curvy runs on nearly anything, doesn't even need a separate graphics card. Desktop, Laptop, Windows Pro Tablet... it doesn't matter (This benefit probably requires the UI to be barebones.) 2- What are licensing restrictions? None. Short of trying to sell Curvy's code, UI, or pictures associated with it... the License is quite friendly. If you can make money commercially with Curvy, then do it. There's no cap limitations. 3- It has a Wine option for Linux users 4- It has increasing and decreasing geometry tools in fractions.(update: this seems to be percents now) 5- It is the only 3D program that is ready for 3d work in 4 seconds on my laptop Reasons not to like Curvy: 1- You don't own a tablet 2- You can't draw well enough that other people know what you are drawing 3- You wouldn't watch videos on how to use this software unless it would keep a zombie apocalypse at bay. 4- You don't like drawing living things 5- You are entirely un...

FEATURES
Sketch based modelling
• Draw an outline to create a fully rounded 3D model immediately, then draw more outlines to refine the shape. Curvy 3D Volumetric
Join Parts Smoothly
• Separate shapes can be merged together to create a continuous skin.
• "Boolean And" and Subtract operators can also be applied to cut into a model.
Sculpting by Painting
• Warp brushes add details to the model surface creating bumps and grooves as you paint.
• Includes Inflate, Deflate, Pinch, Smooth and Flatten brushes. Easy Curve Modelling Tools
Easy Curve and Mesh editing
• Soft move tools let you shape curves and meshes by dragging them with your mouse while the model updates in realtime.
Image Based Sculpting
• New Image Inflate tool takes a silhouette or greyscale image and produces a 3D model using Heightmap, Bubble, Bevel and Extrude styles. Most of the pieces of armour in this screenshot were created from Inflated Images. Realtime Displacement Maps
Adaptive Subdivision Sculpting
• Meshes divide as you sculpt putting the detail exactly where you need it and keeping the overall triangle count down. You can even reverse the process where needed with a new mesh simplification tool.
Painting in 3D
• Paint on colour, specular, and bumpmaps in either the 3D views or on the 2D textures.
• Use a variety of brush shapes, a dropper tool and a smooth brush to work on texture maps.
• Curvy 3D objects are created with ready made UV maps so you can just select a brush and start painting.
Export to OBJ
Simple export to OBJ for easy importing into most other 3D applications.

User Reviews
This program acts like a third-party first-generation 3-D modeling program that has a lot of the same features that you would find in a promotional software giveaway, I would not recommend this to anyone for any reason. It is simply a waste of money. There are quite a few older modeling programs that have a more friendly interface and tutorials of those who do not yet understand the basics to modeling and design. I cannot endorse or condone anyone buying this product.
Love it so simple to use but i couldnt find many tutorials for 3.0 so i did one myself. Here it is (its my first tut so its not great but its something) Basics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYEfLEbr0Ik I do love this program. Very amazing software. I reccommend BIG YES!
After having a few run ins with Technology recently I was very disappointing when I brought this program for no reason it would not launch. Due to the nature of the program there wasn't much help from other users out there, however after posting on the Steam Forum the Developer gave me some help. Unfortunately the program still failed to launch after which the developer sent me vie e-mail a none Steam version and it worlds great. All this withing 24 hours of purchase. If other companies had customer service this quick and friendly the industry would be a better place!
I am definitely a fan of this 3D asset creation software. It is like a more powerful version of Sculptris that can actually handle editing models made elsewhere as well. This is something (along with a seemingly natural companion of Silo 2) that really helped save my interest in learning to create and work with 3D models. Many other suites are insanely overwhelming to get started with, such as the admirable but frustrating for many Blender. Curvy is fast, you can start creating and manipulating shapes immediately without even studying up, even for a total first time user. As I've progressed, learned about the pipelines and purchased far more expensive programs - I find myself still using Curvy. It really is great for fast organic shaped model creation. The ability to sketch a 2D shape and have it pop into 3D is fairly handy. Surprisingly I also find myself using it as a sculpting tool for models I've created elsewhere as well. Sure it is not Zbrush or Mudbox or even 3D Coat, b...
I am just starting to learn, so will ammend this review later. I just bought this though, mainly because on the forums when I was asking questions about this program and curious as to whether it would be a good buy, the developer immediately responded to me concerning my interests. He continued to communicate when I had more questions. So i bought this immediately, knowing that the developers are actually invested in their product -- unlike some things on Steam *ahem* Godmode *ahem*... Between the website and the program itself, you are offered all the info you'll need to start learning how to sculpt/model, or so it seems. I'm a complete noob and excited to learn.
Good value on sale. Challenging to say the least but decent results can be had with patience. I've had the program since 1.0 but just today got back into it. Be sure to save often though because it does crash every now and then.
The good. Curvy 3D introduces another way to sculpt, creating basic shapes, mergin and detailing then with a advanced autosubdivision making a more intuitive and fastest workflow, getting the same results in less time than his big and expensive brothers. The bad or not. The bad point is the lack of tutorials, the first day with it may be really frustrating for experienced artists by the different workflow... After all take in mind it is a sculpt tool, Curvy 3D is really weak for texture painting.
I bought this item on sale. This was my first Ever 3D modeling software. As a fresh user, I found the controls to be Very intuitive. Now I will often model the smoother, artsy stuff in Curvy, then take it to Blender for cleanups, when intended to use in other things. I absolutely Love this program! :)
great program that is pretty easy to use, only down fall as of right now is that it does not have many tutorials..
