• Loop subdivision, voxel remesh (DynaMesh-style), quadric decimation.
• Sculpt layers (blend shapes) with live weights and playback.

AI (free built in, or bring your own)

• Brush Lab: describe a brush, get a procedural brush recipe; Anthropic or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, including local models through Ollama / LM Studio.
• Generate 3D from an image or from text: free via Hugging Face Spaces (Hunyuan3D, TRELLIS.2, Stable Fast 3D), or paid via fal.ai / Meshy, or your own generator command; results are remeshed for sculpting.
• Offline image tools: silhouette blockout, relief, stamp-from-view.
