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.

Ratings and Reviews
Generally needs Fixing...
I love this app, for my first time doing 3d modeling it's great! There's just one issue I have... I just spent an entire day making and rigging a model. My phone likes to close my apps when it feels it's using too much space. So the app closed. I saved right before it did, but now I can't load it into the editor to finish it! I'm afraid I'll lose that save somehow and have lost all my progress, that's I'll have gotten this app for nothing. Can you please fix this issue as soon as possible?
Yes I edited this to 'complain' more, or rather bring up issues I'm having. I can't find any other 3d modeling program that can import the files I can output on this app so I'm stuck trying to work with this. More importantly, I've had sevral issues saving complicated designs. I can easily save them, but it's getting them to load that's the issue. When I can get them to load, the colors are all screwed up and messy. Finally, when I try to turn on editing and have the plain meshes/faces (just the gray one) it immediately crashes/closes the app. Also there needs to be an easy way to separate selected vertices from their current object to make those vertices a separate object themselves.
Hard to rate
I have been doing AR art design for awhile now and have tried pretty much every app related to 3D design. This app had me so excited because of its features, unfortunately it is not intuitive. I usually pick up basics of apps pretty fast but not here. For starters my works view is only displayed and usable on half of my screen. And the tool bar on the left has rows with information in them but for some reason it does not show up displayed so I have to blindly guess what I’m clicking. I’ve tried using the help bubbles but it still won’t allow me to do anything other than view my objects. If I could get this to work at fraction of what it is supposed to do I will be more than satisfied, but I fear I’m going to have to take weeks to figure it out while opportunities pass me by. I’m not saying this is a bad app, I’m just wishing there was a possibility for me to utilize it.
Best 3D model editing app on the iPad and Free! (although not so intuitive to use)
This app allows iPad users to create, load, edit, and save 3D models and assorted meshes all on the iPad which is very impressive— and free! As others have mentioned though packed with features that work well, it is not intuitive on how to use all of the app’s features. The developer does provide a link to a website which describes some more of the features use but it still takes some time experimenting with the app until the user is able to unlock its potential.
My only stumbling block I’ve run into is that the app sometime crashes when it tries to save models I’ve loaded into it; I suspect it might have to do with the size of the models I’ve loaded but am not sure. It would be helpful if the developer were to develop a forum site for a community of users to help each other learn how to use the app to its full potential and in which users could report bugs or feature requests to the developer.
I commend the developer in creating such a powerful app for iPad users and releasing it for free!
Developer Response ,
Thanks for you commend. Yes, the crash probably due to memory issue. Clearing undo history could free up some memory.
