Guides & documentation

Open a tab and make your first sculpt in a couple of minutes.

• Set up your account
  Create an account, sign in, and open the studio.
• What you need to run Re:Form
  Browser, graphics card and system requirements.
• A tour of the studio
  The tool rail, menus, panels and viewport at a glance.

The handful of habits that make everything after them easier.

• Navigate the viewport
  Orbit, pan and zoom around your model.
• Your first strokes
  Draw, Clay and Smooth — the three brushes to start with.
• Size, strength & falloff
  Dial in exactly how a brush feels.
• Symmetry & masking
  Sculpt both sides at once and protect finished areas.
• Reference images
  Load references into the six axis views and sculpt against them.

What each brush is for, and when to reach for it.

• Build brushes
  Draw, Draw Sharp, Carve, Clay, Clay Ribbon, Inflate, Crease, the Fissures and Pinch.
• Surface brushes
  Smooth, Relax, Polish, Noise and Rake.
• Plane brushes
  Flatten, Fill, Scrape and Trim.
• Grab & transforms
  Move large forms with Grab, and pose whole layers with the gizmo.

Add resolution where it counts and keep the mesh clean.

• Subdivision & the triangle budget
  Add detail where you need it, speed everywhere else.
• Remesh
  Re-flow stretched topology into clean, even triangles.
• Working with layers
  Add, duplicate, mirror, merge and split loose parts.

Give the surface colour and a material response.

• Vertex paint
  Paint, Blend, Blur, Smear and Fill colour straight onto the mesh.
• Roughness & metalness
  Turn a sculpt into something that reads as a material.
• Lighting & display
  Matcap, Unlit and Lit shading modes, materials and the light rig.

Get work in, save it safely, and take it wherever it needs to go.

• Import & export formats
  OBJ, STL, GLB and FBX — what goes where.
• .clay files & autosave
  Snapshot your whole session, layers included.
• Render images & turntables
  Supersampled stills and looping turntable videos.
• Sculpt for 3D printing
  From first stroke to a print-ready mesh.
