Ball Pen is a small experimental tool. It let you draw by adding spheres or rectangle tubes, for creating quick concept mesh or help sculpting.
Fast, it does not change anything, just add mesh quick
After drawing, just remesh it
Draw freely on any angle (depth is determined by view plane)
Move and rotate after stroke
Undo
It is very easy to use and fun
Please see the video on my gumroad for more detail.

After creating base mesh by Ball Pen, you can go to sculpt mode and voxel remesh, then sculpt it.

Interesting concept, man! Will definitely check it out. Good luck with further development. It seems this one has quite the potential. : )

Definitely interesting. I’d like to buy it, but I’m only using a Wacom pen, and I see a lot of mouse controls, including the wheel, in the description. Are there also alternative controls for pen users?
For example, maybe you could add the option to hold a key like Control and then drag your pen to adjust the ball size?

I added this feature to update 1.2.1 !
Now you can hold down C key, then move cursor Left - Right to change size

Totally this Ball Pen addon, simple to use, allows creative exploration beyond the normal “sculpt” or “skin modifier”, it’s almost voxel VR ready

I bought it, look cool
Is there a way to change the “Brush” size when you drawing at same time to bring variance in stroke ?

It should be possible to combine this with pressure of graphics tablets. Sketch3d did this ,too.

I don’t know how to obtain the pressure value from API yet, but I will check it out later.
