MAXON Forger

MAXON Forger features an intuitive multi touch interface and a large range of tools. So you can start creating 3D models for films, games, 3D print them, or even walk among them thanks to augmented reality. Whether you're a professional working in filmmaking, game development or character animation, or you're just a budding young artist, Forger allows you creatively explore and bring your ideas to life.

Forger is included as part of your Maxon One subscription*
