2023.4.1
2023-07-20
It’s hard to be quiet when Forger 2023.4 sets the stage for incredible creativity. Lights, camera, action and away you go, modeling and sculpting fantastic creatures. A well rounded set of new tools make it easy to model circular details, fitting polygons to a circle shape, drawing pipe-like sweeps and turning profiles using a lathe. Sketch out more abstract concepts with the new Sketch Sculpt. Put your creations in the best light with new area and IES lights, and focus in with orthographic cameras and intuitive new camera navigation. Organize it all with hierarchy support, and send things directly to Cinema 4D on your desktop to add more elements and render.
Lights
Forger now includes a complete lighting toolset, with Area and IES lights to complement point, directional and spotlights. With area lights you can represent large rectangular and circular lights like softboxes, while IES lights offer detailed light and shadow patterns that match real architectural fixtures.
Camera
With Forger’s new Action Point camera navigation, you can intuitively rotate the camera around the area of interest. This new camera navigation is on by default, but legacy camera navigation is still available in the prefs if you prefer it. Also new is support for orthographic cameras, so you can view sculpts without perspective distortion.
Action
Most important - Forger gives you great options to create models and sculpts. With the new Sketch Sculpt brush you can easily create new shapes with the stroke of an Apple Pencil, and then use Forger’s rich sculpting toolset to refine and add details. Use the Sweep tool to create pipes or horns, or turn a complex profile using the Lathe tool. With the Fit Circle tool you can model round details into your forger creations, or use the set edge flow to adjust the curvature at any edge based on the surrounding mesh.
Finally, Forger now offers complete hierarchy support, making it easy to organize your creations, group elements and manipulate groups together.
