Description
Designed and engineered by creative professionals, drawing in Feather is just as natural as real pen and paper. Once you catch how to use your fingers to look around and a pen to create lines from different angles, where and how far you use it is fully up to you. With its simple but polished interface, Feather is for everyone who wants to visualize ideas.
• Draw and view in 3D naturally:
- Create a 3D guide with your first stroke, and then draw strokes on the guide to quickly get any shapes as you imagined.
- Zoom, rotate, move to the top/front/side/rear views, and change FOV by just swiping and tapping with your fingers.
- Draw symmetric strokes with mirror mode enabled.
- Every stroke you draw will be saved in cloud storage, accessible anywhere at any time with an online connection.
• Erase, select, and edit intuitively:
- Rub out strokes point by point, or just wipe them out at once.
- Move, rotate, and adjust size or proportion with a joystick interface.
- Duplicate selected strokes in the same positions or symmetrically.
- Change the style, thickness, color, and opacity of the strokes already drawn.
- Control environment settings such as background color, grid, and fog effects.
• Sort your work into groups neatly:
- Activate a specific group to draw, select, and edit.
- Hide or show strokes by groups.
- Name the groups to manage them.
- Select the whole group and transform every stroke inside the group at once.
• Look around in AR directly:
- Place the drawing in reality and adjust its location, size, and angle.
- Show/hide drawings in AR by groups.
- View AR on different devices with the QR code.
• Export works diversely:
- Get the 3D data in OBJ format and GLTF format.
- Set the angle you want and export it in JPEG image files.
- Make 360 degrees turntable animation in GIF files.
• Organize notes and folders freely:
- Create and manage folders in unlimited depth.
- Save the thumbnail to recognize each note easily.

Ratings and Reviews
Very promising start
App is very very promising. Am impressed w/ the YT videos they’ve put out to date - developers clearly love their product / seem responsive to comments. Reminds me of a stripped down Blender grease pencil / version of Ipad Mental Concepts (which had such a promising start then stopped developing). Look forward to seeing next iteration. Would love the ability to save guides / have standard XYZ planes you can draw OTB (maybe you could add that as subscriber features ?), more brush + fill types / snapping etc (for more precision line drawing scenarios - have architect background). The guide creation process maybe could be better understood if there was on the fly animations of the guide as you’re drawing it so that the user understands how the bending occurs to the first guide you’ve put down - just a suggestion. Would love to see if devs can address offline issues - this is a must IMO. Anyways keep up the good work!
Interesting, but unintuitive
Interesting concept, and it works great, but thinking in terms of 3D cross-sections and view angles is unintuitive and offputting. Perhaps this style of working makes sense to architects or CAD designers? For me, I have to think too much about it and get frustrated, and I’ve been a 3D artist for decades. If you came here expecting a ZBrush or VR style 3D drawing tool, this ain’t it. Also, your tutorial video goes by too fast without explaining the tools or the workflow concept. Good luck!
This severely needs new features
At the top of my head my requests be as followed 1# Fusing / merging different 3D layers together. Trying to get my shapes to mold tighter is hard if not impossible. I want to see my 3D models fuse since I can’t even copy and paste together.
#2 A feature that allows you to form basic shapes like boxes and triangles like on regular painting apps. Only it should work for cutting out the shapes more cleanly. I want to polish off rugged lines and it stresses me out to smoothen everything altogether
#3 More then two different brushes. I don’t like the oily look that I’m forced to work with. Hard brushes and school pens come to mind. Using a hard brush to clean off rough edges once again would be better.
#4 Being able to use more then two images as references. This app has potential but it’s far behind because of the few amount of features.
#4 This is a free competitor for blender out there. But hear me out. I want to make characters that aren’t completely flat. Like Chibis or 3D pixels, I don’t know what to call it, maybe cubic shapes? If cubic shapes were easy to merge together or something that would be very charitable.
This has potential. I can tell it’s supposed to be a “feel good” app. Also being above to save guides and look at other people’s works on this app through a gallery or something that anyone can access. I hope this feedback is somewhat motivational for the developers. :)
