CLUSTER MODELING-PAINTING-ASSETS · 20 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-09-03

3D modeling and painting tools

The cluster comprises desktop 3D modeling and painting applications covering scene building, subdivision modeling, animation, OBJ rendering, and texture painting. Only two dated entries exist before the index start, so the dated history is too thin to read a shape from — it predates the index or its members are undated. On traction, the leaders are OBJ-Weapon-Renderer, PaperRocket-V16-Claude, and PaperRocket-V14, all with 0 stars.

Entry timeline

ENTRY TIMELINE

DEC 2016: 1OCT 2019: 1FEB 2022: 1MAY 2023: 1AUG 2026: 4SEP 2026: 10OCT 2026: 2

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 20 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
