Full strengths for Dust3D
  • Rigging, procedural animation and UV unwrapping are built in, and finished models export to GLB and FBX for game engines or 3D printing.
  • Modelling only: no animation, rigging or built-in renderer
  • Development is slow and the interface is unconventional
  • The node-and-sphere approach suits organic low-poly shapes and is a poor fit for precise hard-surface or engineering…
Full limitations for Dust3D
  • The node-and-sphere approach suits organic low-poly shapes and is a poor fit for precise hard-surface or engineering work.
