Blender vs Sculptris opinions
Almost everyone thinks Blender is a great alternative to Sculptris.

Not only can you sculpt with Blender, you can model, texture, simulate and animate with Blender, along with camera tracking and thousands more features. Definitely one of the best out there.

Not as easy as Sculptris

Blender is a 3D modeling program, while Sculptris is a 3D sculpting program. The end result may be similar, but the actual process is entirely different.

55 alternatives to Wings 3D
Wings 3D is a subdivision modeler inspired by Nendo and Mirai from Izware.

It is possible to assign materials, vertex color, UV coordinates and textures, but there will be improvements in those features before Wings goes 1.0.

There is no support in Wings for doing animations.

Wings 3D vs Sculptris opinions
This alternative is disputed. Wings 3D is still a legitimate alternative to Sculptris, but it might have issues that some users think are important.

This is a modelling program, sculptris is a sculpting program. While they both end at a 3d output, the method to get there is completely different.

polygonal modelling software. unsuited as a substitute to sculpting software

This program is mostly aimed at polygonal modelling. While they can both produce a 3d model, Sculptris is specifically aimed at 3d Sculpting and texture painting, something Wings 3d does not do.
