While we do love Sculptris, its not been updated for a while, and it’s still floating around in its alpha form, meaning there are quite a few bugs. Luckily, if you want to play with 3D, you’re not limited to pro-level packages, which typically cost upward of $500. Windows 10’s Creators Update, for example, introduces Paint 3D, a simplistic take on modeling, which lets you chuck around primitives and crudely inflated 2D sketches. On the other end of the complexity scale, you could try apps such as venerable open-source subdivision modeler Wings 3D ( www.wings3d.com) or even the excellent modeling portion of Blender ( www.blender.org). And if you’re really only in this to play, the infinite building blocks of LEGO Digital Designer ( ldd.lego. com) could be just the 3D toybox you need.
