Seamless Model Handoff
Send models straight from HardCuts into HardCuts Render, or import OBJ and STL files. Move from sculpting to presentation without rebuilding your scene.
Voxel-Based Hard Surface Sculpting
Hard Surface Sculpting
& High Poly Modeling
Build detailed 3D forms with voxel booleans, dimensioned sketches and sculpting brushes. Refine the shape with Volume Clip, then prepare your model for Blender, 3D printing or HardCuts Render.

—
Five Boolean Modes
Create, subtract, union, intersect, or slice — all five operations available directly in the viewport. No mode switching, no hidden stack.
—
Parametric Primitives
Box, cylinder, sphere — instantly usable as boolean cutters or base shapes.
—
2D Shape Cutters
Cut with circles, rectangles, polygons, trim lines, and curves — used directly as boolean operands. Precise, clean cuts without building a full 3D cutter first.

More Ways to Shape
Your High-Poly Model
Start with a solid form, cut the structure and sculpt the details. Explore the tools behind the hard surface modeling workflow.
Move / Rotate / Scale
Transform objects directly in the viewport with W/E/R shortcuts. Precise control without leaving your sculpting flow.
Outliner
Full scene hierarchy with selection, drag-and-drop parenting, and object management. Keep complex scenes organized at a glance.
Boolean Cutters
Use primitives and 2D shapes as cutters. Position and refine the preview, then subtract, intersect or slice with the operations supported by the tool.
Profile Sweep
Define a cross-section and sweep it along a path to generate pipes, rails, and complex extrusions in seconds.
Symmetrize / Flip
Mirror your entire mesh or flip selected objects across any axis. Keep hard surface forms perfectly balanced without manual duplication.
Bend
Bend your mesh along X, Y, or Z around a movable pivot. Smooth curved deformations without manually reshaping the surface.
Lathe
Draw a 2D profile, then revolve it around the Y axis to create a 3D form. Symmetrical shapes from a single curve.
Lattice
Wrap your mesh in an editable control cage, then move its points to reshape the form. Broad smooth changes without pushing individual vertices.
Volume Clip
Hide and restore volume with editable clip shapes, symmetry and edge controls. Choose how much hidden geometry to see, then apply the visible result or extract a hidden part.
Sketches & Extrusion
Draw and dimension a profile, refine its corners and extrude selected regions. Turn editable sketches into plates, brackets and boolean shapes.
Sculpting & Masks
Refine forms with sculpting brushes, apply alpha detail and protect areas with masks. Repeat strokes with mirror or radial symmetry.
Retopology & Baking
Create a low-poly surface over your model, unwrap UVs and bake normal and AO maps. Send the prepared mesh and supported maps to Blender.
High-Poly Performance
Built in C++ from the ground up. Handle massive polygon counts without slowdown. Speed is the core principle.
Clean, Intuitive UI
No clutter, no overwhelming menus. A focused interface that lets you sculpt, not search for tools.
Native C++ Engine
Standalone application built with raw C++ performance. No plugins, no dependencies, just pure speed.

Hardcuts Render Features
From Model to Final Image
Turn your HardCuts models into polished presentations with materials, layer painting, studio lighting, real-time post-processing, and precise image output.
PBR Materials
Apply ready-made metals, plastics, rubber, ceramic, clay, and wood by drag and drop. UV-free triplanar mapping keeps textures consistent across hard-surface forms.
Layer-Based Painting
Build surfaces with Base, Fill, and Paint layers. Paint color, roughness, metallic, and emission directly onto your model with a focused brush toolset.
Studios, HDRIs & Lights
Start with complete studio rigs or bundled HDRI environments, then refine the setup with area, directional, spot, and point lights. Shape highlights and reflections in real time.
Real-Time Post Processing
Finish your image with Neutral, AgX, or ACES tone mapping. Adjust exposure, contrast, saturation, and ambient occlusion while previewing every change in real time.
Render-Ready Output
Frame your model with interactive camera controls, choose the exact output resolution, and render clean PNGs with a visible or transparent background.
