About Janubeus
We're automating the most tedious parts of mesh-to-VDM conversion.
Streamlining VDM Creation
We built Janubeus because creating production-ready VDM brushes should not require fragile projection setups and repetitive bake cleanup. We automate the heavy lifting so you can focus on artistic detail.
Our Technology
Our geometric algorithms streamline your workflow, transforming complex tasks into simple operations. We focus on procedural geometry to handle intricate mesh, material, and texture work, allowing you to achieve high-quality results with unprecedented speed and ease.
3D-to-VDM Pipeline
Turning 3D Models into usable Blender and ZBrush VDM-Brushes.
Procedural Geometry
Using raw geometry to solve the math of VDM projection.
Native Tooling Integration
Everything happens where you already work in Blender and ZBrush.

The Founder's Story
Why did you build this tool? To automate the tedious mesh-to-VDM pipeline so artists can spend less time fighting projection issues and more time on creative sculpt detail.
Expertise and Background: I'm a Software Engineer with a background in procedural geometry and a hobbyist's love for 3D art. Janubeus started because I got tired of wanting a specific horn or scale for a sculpt and having to choose between spending two hours making it or $20 buying it. I'm using my engineering background to build the "middle way": automation that gives you a high-quality VDM starting point in seconds.
The Vision for the Product: Janubeus is built to become an indispensable VDM workflow tool, making reliable mesh-to-VDM conversion accessible to individual creators and small studios.
Our Values
Innovation
We use a novel geometry-processing pipeline to convert meshes into VDM-ready results that preserve sculptural detail.
Accessibility
We don't think "pro-grade" should mean "pro-priced." We're making specialized tools accessible for hobbyists and indies alike.
Transparency & Quality
Automated geometry isn't perfect. We openly discuss these limitations and work on them. Our refund policy ensures you only pay for results that work.
Security & Privacy
We take your data privacy very seriously. Review our privacy policy to see our commitment to security and privacy.
