Roadmap
What’s coming to Shapeaway, the digital clay sculpting app for Windows: what’s being finished, what’s planned and what’s being thought about. Plans change; the changelog says what actually shipped.
Now Being finished
- The 4.0 release
Detail meshes, studio brushes, finishes, hair and photo matching, packaged with release notes and a new installer.
- This website and its docs
Guides and tutorials for every 4.0 feature.
Next Planned
- Local subdivision
Finer detail only where you need it, such as round a face, instead of over the whole object.
- Painted roughness
Paint where a surface is shiny or matt, not only one roughness per object.
- A tear line for eyes
A separate wet mesh where lid meets eye, for portraits.
Later Being considered, not promised
- Drag and drop to import
Drop a mesh on the window to bring it in as clay.
- FBX import
Alongside STL, OBJ, PLY and glTF.
- An update check
A quiet note in the app when a new version is out, if releases are published somewhere it can read.
