Animations Like Clay

The freeware MeshMolder 2.0 models clay-like characters and changes them easily by scraping away or building up layers.

With MeshMolder, figures can be modelled like clay, similar to Autodesk’s MeshMixer. Simply change the thickness of the layers to add or remove characteristics.

In the new version 2.0, the modelling process has been accelerated and some errors eliminated. The light source is now variable, and the “wax” function allows even more detailed modelling.

The tool is still in beta and completely free. For anyone who needs a change from ZBrush and company.
