Artisan comprises of robust subdivision, sculpting and soft selection tools which can be used for making the followings :-
• Terrain and landscapes
• Furniture
• Characters
• Abstract sculptures and decorative objects
• Fabric, curtains, and pillows
• Rocks, Trees, and Plants
The extension offers the following exclusive features :- Subdivision Surfaces
• Powerful subdivision algorithm to deal with all types of complicated geometries
• Subdivide and smooth selected faces, groups, or components
• Crease edges or vertices to form hard edges
• Knife subdivide tool for producing loops
• Extrude tool to generate loops devoid of interior faces
• Low-poly ‘Proxy Mode’ that automates the process for updating the subsurface geometry as you edit
New Subdivision Features in Artisan
• Accomplish subdivision or smoothing on any selection of faces
• Auto-subdivision of selection boundary faces that leads to cleaner meshes after subdividing
• Instantly preview subsurface geometry before committing
• Proper interpolation of UVs for subdivided geometry
• Quicker subdivision and superior topology
Brush Tools
• Sculpt Brush (sculpt, pinch/spread, flatten, inflate/deflate, smooth/jitter)
• Choose Brush (select faces by performing strokes)
• Paint Brush (paint SketchUp materials on faces with virtual brushstrokes)
• Uniform sculpting mode applying user-defined work plane
• Lock vertices to user-defined work plane
Vertex Transformation Tools
• Soft Selection
• Soft Move, Rotate, and Scale
• Make Planar (XY, XZ, YZ, or best fit)
Mesh Optimization (Polygon Reduction)
• -More rapidly and more powerful as compared to the free Polyreducer plugin
