What SculptGL is

SculptGL is a digital sculpting app that runs in a browser using WebGL and JavaScript. Its tools include Brush, Inflate, Smooth, Twist, and Drag, with undo and redo for editing. It supports vertex painting for color, roughness, and metalness, as well as alpha textures for each tool. Multiresolution sculpting uses Catmull-Clark and Loop subdivision and retains sculpting changes when switching levels. Voxel remeshing uses SurfaceNets to make quad-only meshes, while dynamic topology performs local subdivision and decimation in real time using triangles. Both remeshing approaches delete UVs. SculptGL imports and exports OBJ, PLY, and STL files and reads vertex color. A standalone Windows version and a Chrome extension are also available. The maker provides YouTube tutorials and an email contact. SculptGL is free, with no paid plan or usage limits stated on the maker’s pages. Its repository says it is no longer maintained except for small fixes and was archived on January 17, 2026.
