Introducing Glise 1.7

Glise is a fast, easy and extensible subdivision surfaces 3D modeler featuring a highly optimized, multithreaded C++ core, a minimalist GPU-driven user interface, parallel Ambient Occlusion rendering and a complete set of Python API.

Glise is completely free for Linux and the Raspberry Pi. If you’re a Windows user you can freely download the full version and try it for all the time you need.

Fast

A small, highly optimized multithreaded C++ core delivers blazing fast subdivision and tweaking.

Open

Designed to be open and extensible from the very beginning, Glise features a complete set of Python API and a flexible plugin architecture.

Easy

Thanks to a proprietary GPU-driven minimalist interface that does not stand between you and your work, the learning curve is reduced to a minimum.

Overview

We started coding Glise back in 2009 because we wanted a tiny, neat and easy 3D application that could do just one thing: native subdivision 3D modeling.

With Glise you will get a comprehensive set of modeling tools usually found in professional packages, the ability to intuitively shape subdivision surfaces using an awesome tweak mode with an accurate soft selection, native topological symmetry, and an outstanding extra simple sketch reference setup.

And thanks to our custom GPU-driven user interface we built from scratch, Glise runs blazing fast on a 6 years old mobile graphic card.

Glise: a fast and responsive creative tool with a strong focus on pure modeling.

Highlights

Major industry-standard file formats supported (3DS,FBX,DAE,DXF,OBJ,STL)
Multithreaded, parallel Ambient Occlusion rendering
Simple 1-minute reference sketch reference planes setup
Extremely accurate area/lasso and soft selections
Fast, intuitive tweaking using tweak mode
Enhanced topological symmetry for pose-free symmetric modeling
Unlimited, separate selection and modeling undo/redo queues
Integrated Python console for interactive coding
GPU-driven interface completely customizable by user-defined shortcuts

Minimum System Requirements

Windows/Linux

An OpenGL 3.3 video card, 1.0Ghz CPU and 4Gb RAM.

Raspberry Pi

A Raspberry Pi 3 model B with experimental OpenGL drivers enabled.

Release Notes

Linux/Raspberry Pi

The Alt key is used to move the camera. Since on some linux systems the Alt key may be assigned to a window-related shortcut, you may need to release the Alt key from any existing window manager binding.

Raspberry Pi

The Raspberry Pi is a full-featured Linux edition with only these limitations:

No flat shading
No Ambient Occlusion rendering
Only GBE (Glise)/STL file formats are supported

The Raspberry Pi port has been tested on the Raspbian OS.

Glise 1.7.2 development status: (96%)
