Frequently Asked Questions
Is 3D modelling hard to learn?
When using traditional software there is a steep learning curve. Creating 3D using a mouse and a flat screen is not natural, and many of the steps on the way from sculpting to animation are very technical.
This is why we created Masterpiece Studio Pro, to make Pro 3D accessible to anyone by using Virtual Reality and Machine Learning to remove technical barriers. Within 10-15 minutes you'll get the hang of the program and you will be able to start creating like you never imagined.
Why is 3D modeling in virtual reality easier?
Creating 3D objects in an immersive environment is so much more intuitive because you're actually in the same space as your creation. There is no screen acting as a barrier between your hands, the controllers, and the 3D model, making the process of creation natural and intuitive.
Do I need a Virtual Reality (VR) headset to use Masterpiece Studio Pro?
Yes. Masterpiece Studio Pro will work on Oculus(Rift, Rift S, Quest 2 with link), HTC (Vive, Vive Pro, Pro Eye, Cosmos), Windows Mixed Reality (Acer, Dell Visor, Lenovo Explorerer, HP Reverb, Samsung Odyssey), and Valve Index

I’m new to 3D. Which program should I use for creating 3D characters?
There are many great sculpting programs, but what makes Masterpiece Creator stand out is that it is the only immersive creative product to include not just sculpting, but also easy to use mesh cleanup tools as well as texture painting. With Masterpiece Creator, you can create your models from scratch with our powerful sculpting tools or import models you have made in other programs to clean up their meshes and paint textures on them before sending them to Masterpiece Motion to rig, skin and animate if you choose.
With its full immersive pipeline, Masterpiece Studio Pro is the easiest software for an indie creator to make characters, environments, and objects for their projects.
What program should I use to rig models for animation and gaming projects?
That's easy. Masterpiece Motion. It's part of Masterpiece Studio, and is by far the most intuitive rigging software. It is the first of its kind because you can rig and skin in virtual reality. Motion also has cutting edge auto-rigging and auto-skinning, augmented by machine learning.
Is Masterpiece Studio Pro up to professional standards?
Yes, and it is currently being used for professional projects by game and animation companies around the world.
Our focus is on helping indie creators quickly and easily make high quality 3D assets for use in games, animation and for the metaverse. We are the first to provide the full 3D pipeline with professional tools in an immersive environment.
The traditional tools have many benefits for getting more detail, but they are not for everyone, are costly and technically complex. Masterpiece Studio Pro is compatible with professional workflows and products used in indie gaming and helps speed up professional workflows
Is Masterpiece Studio Pro valid for commercial use?

What is the difference between Masterpiece Studio Pro and MasterpieceVR?
MasterpieceVR was our original product at launch in January 2017 and only included 3D sculpting and mesh drawing tools. MasterpieceVR is no longer available for purchase but is still available to our early adopters who purchased it on Steam, Oculus Home and Viveport.
Masterpiece Studio Pro is a significant upgrade and rebranding of our original product, MasterpieceVR, and has an expanded toolset which includes layers, a move tool, scene graph, mesh optimization, auto-UV, texture painting, rigging, skinning, animation and blendshapes, completing the full 3D pipeline for making real-time, production ready assets.
