The StudioTools UI is pretty distinctive and while major efforts have been made over the past few years to align the system with other Windows-based applications, the user experience is different from what many might consider standard – with very good reason.
The StudioTools UI has been refined over a number of iterations to provide a method of working with geometry and sketch data that’s more attuned to the needs of the artistic or creative user.
StudioTools is one of the only systems that includes some form of paint and sketching tools, allowing the user to create traditional concept sketches within the same environment as the 3D modelling tools.
