FAQ
What makes Clay Shaper's sculpting different?
Clay Shaper treats digital clay as a volume, similar to real clay. This means pushing or pulling material follows naturally, unlike mesh-based apps where stretching can cause issues. You can punch holes directly through the volume.
What tools are available in Clay Shaper?
Clay Shaper offers fourteen tools for sculpting, including build, carve, smooth, move, inflate, flatten, pinch, crease, smear, and roughen. Brushes for twisting, bending, and growing are also available.
Can I paint directly onto the clay in Clay Shaper?
Yes, color is integrated into the material itself, not just a surface layer. You can brush, spray, or stamp colors, and continue sculpting afterwards, with paint remaining in place as if carving through glaze.
Does Clay Shaper have an augmented reality feature?
Yes, Clay Shaper includes an AR feature that allows you to view your sculptures at real-world scale on any surface using AR Quick Look. You can choose from various sizes, including life-size.
What file formats can I export from Clay Shaper?
You can export your creations in watertight GLB, STL, OBJ, or USDZ formats. These are suitable for 3D printing, rendering, or use in other design tools. The app also supports rendering PNGs and saving project files.
What are the limitations of the free version of Clay Shaper?
The free version includes all sculpting tools and paint modes. It offers resolutions up to 160³, AR viewing, and watermarked renders. It also includes three featured pieces and allows for three saved sculptures.
How does Clay Shaper Pro differ from the free version?
Clay Shaper Pro, a one-time purchase, unlocks higher working resolutions (192³ and 224³), GLB, STL, OBJ, and USDZ export, hollowing for printing, importing custom models and textures, all twelve featured pieces, unlimited saves, and non-watermarked renders.
