Shapelab 2025 Upgrade PC kaufen

Shapelab 2025 Upgrade brings the first voxel engine iteration to existing Shapelab 2024 owners, blending voxel sketching for blockouts with polygon sculpting precision. Sculptors gain repositionable cursors, quick object switches to edit mode, cavity-aware masking, and brush falloff curves for refined control. Parametric primitives now feature bevels, chamfers, and gesture reshaping, while customizable environments let users tweak HDRIs, skyboxes, and lighting. This PC upgrade enhances VR and desktop 3D modeling workflows with dynamic brush sizing, angle snapping, and scene alignment tools. Professionals crafting detailed assets for games, prints, or concepts refine meshes via remeshing, PBR vertex painting, and detail transfers in a hybrid dual-engine setup.

What is Shapelab?

Shapelab is a highly efficient 3D sculpting application primarily optimized for virtual reality that also supports desktop-based work with digital pens, allowing users to switch between the two modes on the fly. It offers a variety of industry-grade tools to create highly detailed 3D assets and optimized low-poly models. Visualize your creative ideas and print them in 3D or sculpt high-quality props, characters, and concepts for applications, games, and virtual worlds, as well as digital concept art and storyboards.

Shapelab leverages VR technology to offer an immersive and intuitive sculpting experience, enabling you to work seamlessly in 3D space with unparalleled control and creative freedom. You can easily navigate in 3D, interact with your designs as if they were right in front of you. With your VR controllers, you can move, scale, adjust focus, and create 3D brushstrokes naturally, easily shaping complex designs with simple hand movements. This level of immersion is impossible to achieve in traditional desktop software and can boost productivity, allowing you to work faster, more efficiently, and often with greater precision.

At its core, Shapelab uses a robust polygon mesh-based design engine, ideal for professional-grade modeling workflows and high-detail sculpting.

With the 2025 Spring Update, Shapelab became even more versatile by introducing a voxel engine as a secondary design system. This hybrid approach lets users quickly block out ideas with voxel sculpting, while still relying on the precision and export-ready features of polygon-based modeling for final production.

Core features in Shapelab 2025

Dual Engine Modeling
Combine the power of polygon sculpting with the speed of voxel-based sketching. Shapelab’s hybrid engine lets you block out ideas in voxels, then refine them with production-ready polygon tools—all in one workflow.

 

Dual VR and Desktop Modes
Run Shapelab on your PC in desktop mode or use a VR headset tethered to your PC for an immersive VR experience. Switch seamlessly between modes while working on your projects. 

 

Digital Pen and Tablet Support
Leverage the power of your digital pen and tablet with tilt, twist, and pressure sensitivity. Compatible with both Wintab and Windows Ink for precision sculpting.
