Kaivertaja

Kaivertaja is a term used in the field of computer graphics and digital art to describe a software tool or technique that allows users to create and manipulate 3D models by carving away material from a solid block. This process is often referred to as "subtractive modeling" or "carving," as opposed to "additive modeling," which involves building up a model from scratch. Kaivertaja tools typically provide a variety of brushes and sculpting tools that enable artists to sculpt, refine, and detail their 3D creations with precision and flexibility. These tools are widely used in industries such as game development, film, and animation, where creating realistic and intricate 3D models is essential. The term "kaivertaja" itself is not widely recognized in English-speaking communities, but it is commonly used in the Finnish language, reflecting the Finnish origin of the software or technique. The most well-known kaivertaja tool is likely ZBrush, a popular digital sculpting software developed by Pixologic.
