Your miniature painting desk, wherever you are. Paint in 3D with touch or Apple Pencil, explore washes and drybrushing, and keep creating offline. Your miniature painting desk, wherever you are. Miniature Studio brings freehand miniature painting to iPhone and iPad. Try a new colour scheme, practise your highlights or enjoy a painting session when your hobby desk is out of reach. PAINT DIRECTLY ON YOUR MODEL Rotate, zoom and paint your miniature with touch or Apple Pencil on a compatible iPad. Build up basecoats and layers, deepen recesses with washes and contrast-style effects, and bring out raised details with adjustable drybrushing. BRING YOUR OWN MINIATURES Start with the included demo model, prepare an STL for painting or open a supported USDZ. STL preparation happens on your device, adding a paintable UV layout and primer. FIND YOUR COLOURS Browse paint-name and colour references from Citadel, The Army Painter and Vallejo. Search by name or product code, explore paint ranges and keep your favourites close. MAKE YOUR OWN MIXES Combine up to four supported paints in different ratios—even across brands. Name and save your mixtures, and keep the proportions in your painting recipe. MAKE ROOM TO CREATE Move the floating paint controls wherever they feel comfortable, or hide them for an uninterrupted view of your miniature. Paint with your finger on iPhone and iPad, or use Apple Pencil with finger gestures for navigation on a compatible iPad. PAINT OFFLINE Core preparation, painting and saving work without an internet connection. Download your source files before travelling, then pick up your painting on the train, on holiday or whenever you find a little time. SAVE AND SHARE YOUR WORK Return to saved projects across multiple sessions. Export painted models as USDZ or an OBJ package with materials and textures, export geometry as STL, or keep an editable project backup. THINGS TO KNOW • Digital colours, mixtures and brush effects are approximations, not guaranteed matches to physical paints. • Very dense models may require a lighter working mesh. Fine details can change during preparation. • OBJ colour exports include accompanying material and texture files. STL exports contain geometry only. • Colour 3D printing requires compatible software and hardware. Check exported models in your slicer before printing. • Only import, share or print models you have permission to use. • Apple Pencil is optional and supported on compatible iPads.
