ClayTools

INITION Thinglab says...

"The ClayTools system by SensAble a uniquie way to working with 3D models. It gives you the freedom to work with complex, highly detailed, organic shapes which other software simply can't. The system works on the unique princle of turning the model into a clay form which you can sculpt and shape to your requirements. ClayTools is ideal for artistic applications working with complex, organic shapes where creative input is essential.

This unique approach also means that you are able to feel the shape of the object with a PHANTOM Omni haptic device. A haptic device provides force feedback to the user so as you work with the model you can feel the changes as you go. This allows for accurate and detailed modeling on organic shapes with the ability to be able to follow contours and apply tools to the exact area you require."
