・Added a center mark at the circle guide's center, shown in the editor and included in PNG / SVG / OBJ exports. ・Choose the mark's shape (cross or dot) and size.

- **Added "Flip Bottom Half" for text on a circle.** Keeps text on the lower half of the circle from reading upside down. Multi-character labels follow the circle correctly. - **Added Alpha export for ZBrush.** Choose "Export Alpha" (1024×1024 / 2048×2048) from the export menu. All enabled layers are combined into a grayscale PNG: white inside the text and patterns, black outside. - **Tick end shapes.** Choose Flat, Round, or Taper. For Taper, choose which side gets narrower (outside or inside).

CircleTextStudio is an **iPad tool designed for creating circular text used in 3D software such as ZBrush.** It allows you to quickly design circular typography and export it as **PNG, SVG, or OBJ**, making it useful for 3D modeling and illustration workflows. Instead of a full vector editor like Illustrator, CircleTextStudio focuses on a simple workflow dedicated to circular text creation. --- ## Main Uses • Text assets for ZBrush / Nomad Sculpt (OBJ) • Artwork assets for Procreate and other drawing apps (PNG) • Clock faces, meters, and emblems • Model kit decals and circular logos --- ## Features • Circular text layout (with repeat around the circle) • Dial layer (numbers evenly placed around the circle) • Tick layer (major and minor ticks) • Band layer (even division and arcs) • SVG import (as a layer, or inline between letters) • Render styles (Fill / Stroke only / Fill + Stroke) • Overlap avoidance (cut out layers behind a shape automatically) • Division guides on the circle guide • Text styling (Bold / Italic / Underline), orientation and direction • Font preview and search • Export to PNG, SVG, and OBJ • Project save and load • Dark mode support • Japanese / English support --- ## Platform iPad --- ## Notice This application is a personal project developed by an individual.

・Added Outline Mask: automatically cut layers behind a shape using its outline plus a margin. Works in preview, PNG, SVG, and OBJ export. ・OBJ export for "fill + stroke" layers now splits into separate fill/stroke groups, editable independently in ZBrush and similar tools. ・Fixed the fill body missing from OBJ export on "fill + stroke" layers. ・Fixed a missing background image in the "Sample 02 Tire" starter project.

■ New: Band layer Lay a ring-shaped band behind your circular text and SVGs. Set the width, fill color, and opacity, choose a solid, dotted, or dashed border, and use 1–10 border lines. Exports to PNG, SVG, and OBJ. ■ Layer list order Layers now appear in the list front-to-back, matching the artboard. ■ OBJ export improvements • Each layer is written as its own object. Enable "Import Polygroups" in ZBrush for iPad or "Split OBJ by Groups" in Nomad Sculpt to work with individual layers. • Lightweight and High Quality are always available. • Fixed circles looking like polygons in Lightweight export. ■ Other fixes Fixed a fresh install starting with no sample projects. A badge and a tire example are now there from the start. Coming next: band segments (sections, gaps, alternating colors) and automatic knockout for overlapping layers.

・Fixed layer reordering not working. Use the Reorder button, then drag the handle on each row. ・Saving a dial preset now shows a confirmation, and saved presets can be deleted. ・Circle guide rotation now accepts 1° values (the slider still steps by 15°). ・While editing a custom list, the focused row's position is highlighted on the canvas.

・Added the Dial layer. Build rings with a different label at each position — clock faces, compass roses, and meter scales. ・Four presets (12H, Roman IV, Roman IIII, Half Meter), automatic sequences, and free text per position. Save your setup by name and reuse it in any project. ・Added an artboard fill color (an editing aid; not included in exports). ・Added the “Upright” text orientation — labels stay horizontal instead of following the curve. ・Bold and Italic moved into the font picker dialog. ・Fixed OBJ export leaving a hole where tightly spaced glyphs overlap.

• Removed the baseline setting — radius alone now positions text. • Refreshed gallery selection: rename, duplicate, export, and delete in one place. • Circle guide radius can now go down to 0. • A bigger, easier-to-use text input popup. • Various bug fixes.

• The app now opens to a redesigned project gallery. • New app icon. • Minor bug fixes.

Fixed a bug where mixing Japanese and English text with a stroke style could cause some characters to disappear.

Fixed a bug where repeated undo would stop working (slider edits now undo one step at a time).

You can now mix SVG icons into your text along the circle. ・Replace a marker character in your text with a chosen SVG icon ・SVG size follows the font size (fine-tune with a ratio slider) ・Color and display style (Fill / Stroke / Fill + Stroke) inherit from your text ・Repeat text (including inserted SVGs) around the circle by count and span ・Swap the icon of a placed SVG layer in place ・Choose round or sharp corners in Stroke and Fill + Stroke modes (now for SVG too)

• SVG circular repeat: place marks evenly around the circle with adjustable count and span. • Size profiles: 5 presets plus a custom curve editor with symmetry mode, multiple saves, and equalized spacing. • Unified render styles for text and SVG; stroke width is now size-ratio based.

• Added display styles for SVG marks: choose Fill, Stroke (outline), or Fill + Stroke per layer, with adjustable stroke color and width. • Pick colors from one-tap presets (matching the text color UI). • Stabilized two-finger pinch-to-zoom on a selected layer, and fixed an unintended layer reappearing on relaunch.

• Import SVG marks and combine them with circular text — stars, hearts, logos and more (star, star-in-circle, heart and skull are built in; add your own SVGs too). • SVG marks are included in PNG, SVG and OBJ export, so they carry over to ZBrush, Nomad and Procreate. • Open .ctproj project files shared from Files or AirDrop.

## Bug Fixes Fixed a bug in version 3.1 that caused unintended layers to be added every time the application was restarted.

• Refreshed, more consistent design. On iOS 26, parts of the UI now use Liquid Glass. • Added gear settings to "Size" and "Spacing"; spacing is split into per-line and per-letter. • Rounded artboard corners. Fixed font-list preview, recently used fonts, and the search keyboard.

This is our first update in a while, so we've packed it full with features! 1. Added text width and height adjustment - This is essentially condensing and expanding text. - You can adjust the text width and height in percentages from the "Details" section of the Text Inspector. 2. Added text position adjustment - This is kerning. A feature for designers who are particular about the spacing between characters. - Press "Details" → "Edit," then tap and select the text on the canvas to fine-tune its position (previous spacing). 3. Other - You can export your project as a .ctproj file/share it via AirDrop. - File exchange with the Mac version of Circle Text Studio will be possible in the future. - In other words, this is not a feature you need right now.

## Added Outline Text Function - Outline text is now available as a text decoration option. - By pressing the "O" button in the center of the Text Inspector, you can select: * Line Thickness * Rounded Corners/Sharp Corners - When exporting as an OBJ file, you can choose between "Lightweight" and "High Quality" output. ## Other - Removed the "Underline" function.

Version 1.8 brings a smoother editing workflow and more precise background image alignment. • Improved background image preview with zoom controls and clearer guide overlays • Added crosshair-based grid guides to help align artwork more accurately • Refined inspector layout and export workflow • Improved localization behavior in theme settings • Fixed PNG export issues affecting background visibility and centering • General stability and usability improvements

- A new monochrome theme has been added, allowing you to choose a combination of base and accent colors. - You can now configure Apple Pencil double-tap and squeeze actions individually. - Improved the stability of operations and the save/export flow.

1. You can now add color to text, and export it in PNG and SVG. 2. Improved the readability and usability of the font picker, including refinements to search and category switching. 3. Simplified file names. 4. Made it easier to quickly show or hide the background image. 5. Also improved overall usability and stability with various small fixes.

We've added a whole bunch of new spring colors! - Supports 16 theme colors, expanding the visual variations of the app. - Improved the theme selection UI in Settings. - Adjusted the saving/restart/reloading process after changing themes. - Reviewed the color consistency of main sheets and buttons, and made minor UI adjustments.
