Artisan 2 (Annual Subscription)

Subdivision, sculpting and soft selection tools for artists, designers and landscape architects.

Features Include:

Subdivision Surfaces

• Robust subdivision algorithm that can handle very complex geometry
• Subdivide and smooth selected faces, groups, or components
• Crease edges or vertices to create hard edges
• Knife subdivide tool for creating loops
• Extrude tool to create loops without interior faces
• Low-poly ‘Proxy Mode’ that automatically updates the subsurface geometry as you edit
• Maintain texture position after subdividing
• Quickly preview subsurface geometry prior to committing
• Perform subdivision or smoothing on any selection of faces

Sculpting Tools

• Sculpting Brush
  - Sculpt
  - Pinch/spread
  - Flatten
  - Inflate /deflate
  - Smooth / jitter
• Select Brush (select faces by performing strokes)
• Paint Brush (paint SketchUp materials on faces using virtual brushstrokes)
• Symmetrical sculpting mode using with user-defined work plane
• Lock vertices to user-defined work plane

Vertex Transformation Tools

• Soft Selection
• Soft Move, Rotate, and Scale
• Make Planar (XY, XZ, YZ, or best fit)

Mesh Optimization (Polygon Reduction)

Reduce the number of polygons in a mesh by a given percentage
