Description

Sketch 3D is a tool for designing 3D models from your fingertips. You could download models from others, and could also share your great designs with other users by saving models in Public space.

New Feature: Integrated MaterialX library into the app.  
Mesh object can be applied with materialx documents. When Saving and Loading with material, the document relative path is stored as a diffuse map entry, similar to the way of handling movie textures. Other features like material adjustment and graph editing are not supported yet. User could download free material documents from public websites and import those zip files with this app, using ShareTo or AirDrop.

Feature: Use True Depth Camera to capture face model.

Feature: Support using video as model texture.
You could use video clips from Photo Album, or from Internet URL (YouTube URL not supported), and then apply it onto a model as texture map.

Feature: Capture movie from the 3D scene.
Note! If your device could not capture movie, then, could try out a smaller output resolution (by tapping the control pane). However, arbitrary output size may stop capturing prematurely.

Feature: Design 3D model animation with skeleton structure.
You could design a skeleton structure by placing bones in hierarchical relation. Attach model to the skeleton, and then moving the bones to define different poses. Each pose represented as a keyframe in the timeline view. And animation sequence is produced by playing interpolation between the keyframes.


Features:
- Import 3D content directly from browser or email, either in .zip, .rar, .7z.
- Support formats: Collada DAE, OBJ, 3DS, STL(for 3D printing), and others.
- Import/export to iCloud drive, via iTune File Sharing, or to Public area via Apple CloudKit Service.
- Supports AirDrop.
- Support Quad faces.
- Smooth surfaces using Subdivision.
- Mirroring editing.
- 2-fingers vertex movement, 3 or 4-fingers planar shape creation.
- Versatile multi-touches drag-through-space gestures to support editing and changing viewing angle at the same time.
- Flexible face strip drawing.
- Stitching boundary faces. Stitch triangle soap into connected faces. Stitch over edge or vertex to form a larger face.
- Stitching Triangles to Quads.
- Loop Cut faces.
- Bevel edges.
- Extrude faces or edges.
- Revolve (Spin).
- Vertex Smoothing.
- Vertex Slide along edges.
- Crease Editing after mesh subdivision.
- Split mesh from, or Join mesh to the editing one.
- Support hierarchical mesh node structure.
- Direct vertex color editing when texture map is not used.
- Edit texture map UV coordinates, include atlas generation.
- 3D Text generation.
- Scene interaction with your created shape.
- Design Animation with skeleton structure.
- Capture movie from the 3D scene.
- Support using video as model texture map.

Good potential

Seems to have extremely good potential, but I think you need to take a step back and look at a program like Autodesk maya. Your naming conventions for tools are so confusing for us who are coming from industry standards.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for your review and comment. It will help us to refine the user interface, thanks.

not so horrible ,

A bit complicated

I’ve been using this app but I want to know the controls, it’s really hard and i have been confused about the buttons. I literally didn’t even know there was an undo and redo button. Please make a tutorial video because there are not much buttons and I get confused on how to make people or like make an animation. I think some other people would be just confused as me, if you already have a tutorial for this app, please tell me where you can find it. Please and thank you, I hope you understand.

Functionality

Thank you for thinking about 3D for iPhone. It’s important and could be powerful. With that said the functionality of the entire platform user interface is so poorly designed it’s impossible navigate and touch items because there is no real interface grid with enough space and legibility. You have menu commands / options that are all sitting on top of one another in multiple locations and actions. The type setting for the menu was poorly decided and very makes it very hard to read. And the absolute most difficult aspect of the app is that you don’t include an “tutorial” on how to use the commands and give users a window of what is or could be possible and why it’s so valuable. For those reasons I believe the rating fits.

It’s a valiant effort but needs a massive overhaul.

Thanks for your detailed review.
