To use Matrix, you must have already purchased Rhino. Matrix has simplified a lot of commands used in jewellery such as to set stones and has added a lot of builders such as eternity ring builders, speeding up the 3D creation process. It is the most popular software on the market for 3D jewellery design.

Claytools uses the Phantom Omni Haptic Device, which is a 3D arm with force feedback, allowing you to create virtual clay models. In simplified terms, you use the device pen to poke the air. The device makes you feel as if you are actually touching the clay model you are creating rather than thin air, allowing you to sculpt the model onscreen. It is particularly useful for sculpting models of animals and people.

This is 3D software mainly used by the film and gaming industries for creating figures. It is difficult to learn, but can produce great results. It is one of the best programs for producing textures on the surfaces of models.
