Description: Kodon is a virtual sculpting tool under development (Early Access – so far 70% complete). We are offering Kodon at a lower price before it’s done to get in contact with enthusiasts and to get some monetary support to help us develop it. Kodon aims to become a semi-pro / pro tool that can compete with the existing desktop alternatives for model creation.

When Kodon is ready for release, it should be an immersive VR experience for people without any art skills, and a powerful productivity tool for people with art skills who want to create or edit 3D models. Kodon will also have a desktop mode allowing you to easily switch between desktop and VR editing.

Review: Kodon is a 3D modelling software tool with a lot of potential. While you could argue that it isn’t as in-depth as Gravity Sketch or Masterpiece VR it still offers more than enough to the right person with the creativity to make something from it. While that person definitely isn’t myself I can appreciate all the tools and options the program offers. The main issue here is the price with many other 3D modelling software tools being free it doesn’t look good for this app, but in the right hands, its true value for money will be appreciated.
