Downloads

  • Windows x64: Surface3D-0.91-Windows-x64.zip
  • Linux x86_64 (beta): Surface3D-0.91-Linux-x86_64-beta.AppImage

Windows install: unzip and run Surface3D.exe. The first start can take a moment while shaders are prepared.
Projects: 0.90 projects open normally. Projects using anything new below only open in 0.91 or later.

New in 0.91

  • Cloth sculpt brushes: Drag, Push / Pull, Pinch, Expand and Inflate, forming folds as relief.
  • Lock layers and folders. Locked items cannot be changed and Properties says so.
  • Folders: color them, drag them, duplicate, copy and delete them with their layers. Open or closed state is saved.
  • Selection: Ctrl+A, arrow keys, Ctrl-click to deselect, and Ctrl/Shift-select several effects on a layer.
  • Several selected layers or effects now share opacity and blend changes.
  • Ctrl+G groups layers. Alt-click an eye to solo a layer.
  • Double-click a name to rename. Click a thumbnail to open its effects.
  • Paint and Fill add inside a layer while its effects are open.
  • Wireframe draws on top of the model, with color and thickness.
  • Bright metal reflections keep their color better.
  • Fixed the "Keep folder layers contiguous" error and the effect browser ID error.

Known limits

  • Cloth is relief in the normal map, so the silhouette does not change. Very fast drags can fall behind.
  • Copying a folder is refused if its effects read an anchor outside that folder.
  • Folders cannot go inside folders yet.
  • The 0.90 limits on very large 4K stacks still apply.

Linux beta
This is the first Linux build, so expect problems. It has only been tested on a software (CPU) Vulkan driver in a virtual screen. It has not yet run on a real GPU or a real desktop, so GPU drivers, pens, Wayland, file dialogs and drag and drop are unproven. Keep backups of your projects.

To run it: make the file executable, then start it. A system check runs first and offers to install anything missing. If it will not start because fuse2 is missing, run it with --appimage-extract-and-run.

Not on Linux yet

  • Screen-wide eyedropper.
  • Built-in updater: the update button opens this release page. Replace the file to update.
  • DXR ray tracing: baking uses the compute baker.
  • Direct3D 11: Vulkan only.
  • TIFFs compressed with JBIG, LERC, WebP or Zstandard do not open.

Differences from Windows

  • Saving a project takes longer.
  • Text nodes can look different, because fonts and text layout differ.
  • Detached panels may stay inside the main window on Wayland.
