formZ Review and Overview

A single tool is never enough in the 3D modeling field. Thus, a modeler has to fumble around with different programs to make a real high-quality 3D model or art. Enters formZ, a robust, cheap, and feature-rich platform that has the capacity to perform the A to Z of 3D modeling without the requirement of any external program. It saves money and time both, making it a favorite of digital artists worldwide. It is supported on a variety of platforms too, which further increases its feasibility quotient.

A display to explore everything

The formZ platform, with excellent support for OpenGL-based rendering, can render every pixel of the digital creation in all its glory. The artist can get a holistic view of every nook and cranny of the model, and they can sculpt it accordingly. Another great thing about formZ is its incredible interface, which is designed to allow the artist to sculpt their project as accurately as possible. With tweaks that disallow any kind of accidental change, the artist is sure to make their creation in the least possible time.

Extensive support for third-party apps

formZ is also praised for its extensibility; whatever it cannot do due to hardware limitations, it can perform admirably through integrations. The best example of this is its integration with the Augment app, which uses the power of the Android and iOS hardware to render photographs and models on the real-world through the mobile device's camera interface, i.e., through augmented reality. With its help, compelling demonstrations of life-size concept objects are possible without the requirement of actually building them. It also features integration with the Sketchfab platform through which users can showcase their 3D models and download that of others.

Bring concepts to reality

Another interesting and novel use case of formZ is to 3D print created models. Every model that is created in the formZ interface uses an internal pattern that can reinforce the model's strength and waterproofing in the real world. This makes it accessible for the user to print the models directly using a 3D printer, without any additional treatment.
