Thus we need your support both, coding contributors and monetarily, think of CAD Sketcher as the "Blender Development Fund" but for the CAD/precision arm of blender. We are big advocates of FOSS (Free Open Source Software) but we would be kidding ourselves if we thought that merging the functionality of CAD with the world of mesh modeling is going to be an easy and a free challenge to take on. In the future, we are looking to take things out from the 2D space and into the 3rd dimension by adding features like sketch to sketch referencing, mesh face parametric referencing, 3-dimensional constraints and perhaps take things even a step further by exploring assemblies and if anything can be further improved with the NURBS workflow in blender. This includes a robust core toolset for sketching with a comfortable sketching workflow and a bug-free experience. It is still very early days for CAD Sketcher and we are looking to nail down the basics first, for release 1.0.0. These Sketches are then converted into beziers or mesh which stay editable through a fully non-destructive workflow i.e, Geometry nodes and modifiers. This all begins with CAD Sketcher, which we hope will be the cornerstone for many other CAD-like functionalities and addons to come to the world of blender.ĬAD Sketcher is a constraint-based sketcher addon first developed by hlorus for Blender that allows you to create precise 2d shapes by defining CAD geometric constraints like tangents, dimension, angles, equal and more. We just want to bring CAD-like functionality to the world of mesh modeling.

We are not looking to replace CAD programs. To make the most of Artweaver and other drawing tools, you should check out online drawing courses and websites that teach you how to draw better.At the core of it all, CAD Sketcher believes in facilitating precision modeling within blender. Although Artweaver offers a free version to enjoy essential drawing tools, the advanced features are only available in its paid version, which can be purchased from the Artweaver product listing page. Users can also add add-ons to extend the software's functionality.Īrtweaver also excels at collaboration you can add new team members and simultaneously work on a single drawing. Furthermore, the tool supports pen tablets, allowing pro designers to unleash their creativity. Users can replay how they made the fantastic drawing and showcase it to others. The Artweaver can also record the painting process, which other drawing tools don't offer.

The tool also supports keyboard shortcuts that can be customized. You can choose from pre-added themes to change the look of your canvas. Its interface is very easy to use, so there is no steep learning curve. Artweaver offers a good range of brushes and allows users to customize them as they wish.
