Highly productive polygon model creation and editing for fast architectural modeling, level building.

Shade is well known for its curved surface modeling tools that excel at creating natural, living artwork and animation. Shade's Polygon Mesh Tool box is bristling with over 22 tools expressly for working with polygons.

Work with assets created in other applications or transform your curved surface models to polygons. Shade includes a rich tool set for vertex | edge | face based selection, modeling and editing environment. Shade Mesh Edit also incorporates UV Projection Mapping tools that give you precise control over your texture based surfaces and materials.

Polygon Modeling Features

• Import from Other Modelers. Every version of Shade supports import and export functionality. Import poly-based models into Shade for customization.
• Convert Curves to Polygons. Convert curved surfaces and other native Shade objects into polygon meshes with control over the fineness of the surface subdivision process.
• Use Pseudo Polys For Better Polygon Reduction. Simpler is better in games. Shade's pseudo polygon mesh is a step between curved surfaces and true polygon models and helps you to hand optimize your polygons - a necessity in building models for high speed real time games.
• High Productivity Selection Tools. Quickly select, invert or deselect groups of polygons with belts, loops and surfaces based on surfaces, faces and vertices. Take total control over faces!
• Easy Polygon Editing Tools. Grab surfaces, faces and vertices and transform them with 16 different tools: offset, extrude, duplicate, bevel, detach, mirror, copy and more.
