About

Artstage is a single player action game. It was developed by Soy-software and was released on September 1, 2016. It received overwhelmingly positive reviews from players.

ArtStage is a VR creative application that allows you to paint colors on 3D models and sculpt using voxels, similar to working with clay. It supports .obj 3D model files and .png texture image files, and enables auto UV unwrapping for painted sculptures. The demo version offers all features except model export, which is available in the full version along with .fbx or .obj format export options.

ArtStage is praised as the best polygon modeling software in VR, offering a unique combination of classic mesh modeling and texture painting capabilities.
The software is stable and functional, with a developer who is responsive to user feedback and frequently updates the program with new features.
It allows for efficient modeling and texturing, including the ability to import 3D models and paint directly on them, which is a rare feature in VR applications.

Some key features are still in development, and the software is considered a work in progress, which may deter potential users.
Users have reported performance issues, such as jittering, especially on lower-end hardware, which can affect the overall experience.
The menus and controls need improvement for better usability on Oculus controllers, and the lack of a native Quest 2 port adds to the inconvenience.

Artstage shows promise as a 3D modeling tool, but its performance issues have hindered user engagement, leading many to overlook it in favor of better-marketed competitors.
- “Artstage has the potential to become a powerful and viable 3D modeling tool, although it has been collecting dust in my Steam library for over a year and a half simply because its competitors have better marketing strategies and it had performance issues.”
