It requires a single 'tile' component and optionally one or more closed boundary vectors which define the region in which the tiling should take place. This feature lets you create a repeating pattern or texture. The sculpting can be controlled using the mouse or even a pen tablet (such as a Wacom) and where applicable PC's that use a touch-screen. Allowing changes to be undone on specific local regions without having to undo any changes made to the complete model. The Undo function allows the sculpted changes to gradually be returned back to the original state.

If bitmap is selected when opening this tool, it will be overlaid on the sculpted model, helping you to sculpt more accurately. You can also opt to overlay a bitmap image when you are sculpting, allowing you to easily refer to your original material. This means that you are better able to see how sculpting changes affect the whole model. The option to show the grayscale background allows you to see a grayscale image of the model shown on the sculpting screen. The option to Preserve Transparency limits sculpting changes to only be on the 3D model surface and not 'bleed out' onto the surrounding flat plane. The custom brush allows you to easily add texture and detail to your composite model. You can also use the dynamic rotation option that intelligently rotates the brush in the direction that you are sculpting. The component brush option can be used as part of the deposit and remove tools, where the brush will leave an impression in the composite model that simulates the pushing of the component brush through the surface when dragging, and a stamping effect when clicking!

The Sculpting Tool allows for the option of using any model as a brush for sculpting, giving you an unlimited selection of brush styles that suit your needs. Smooth, Smudge Deposit, Remove & Erase with options to raise, lower or blend the changes.The Sculpting tool lets you interactively modify 3D designs using the sculpting tools with control over brush size and strength, plus options to, This function sets Aspire apart from typical computer modelers as this type of dynamic editing cannot be replicated using standard surface or solid CAD/CAM modeling programs. Models can be manipulated like a piece of virtual clay to smooth out edges and discontinuities, as well as to add extra detail, all helping to create that authentic ‘hand carved’ look for your models. Aspire's powerful 3D Sculpting tools provide total flexibility when modifying designs.
