An update that renews everything!
Artstage has been reborn as a full-scale VR modeling application!
A newly reborn icon-based viewable and functional user interface.
The texture painting feature integrated into modeling has been renewed from CPU processing to GPU processing and it has been made much faster.
Implemented vertex color paint feature! You can seamlessly transition to texture paint by baking the vertex color to the texture.
Supported Artstage's native file format (.asm). This allows you to save and open a model's n-gon while holding it.
Also, models can now be exported in fbx format.
The snap function, handle function, constraint function greatly improved modeling operability.
The tutorial video has also become new with the update.
Along with this update, unfortunately the sculpting function and the panorama painting function have been abolished.
Because VR sculpt already has a great application such as Oculus Medium, Artstage will focuses on polygon modeling feature.
Those who need the sculpting function and panoramic painting function can continue to access past version of Artstage.
I created a model using this version.
