Feather: 3D sketchbook

June 26, 2024

Experience a more versatile Feather with this update. With new brushes, better navigation, and a 3D joystick, you can now work on larger or smaller scales. The app's stability has been greatly improved, making it faster, and the UI has been refined. • New Brushes and Stable Stroke Go beyond sketching with the new brushes including wide brush. Coloring a large area will be quicker than ever. With Stable Stroke, you can draw smoother curves. Switch between freehand and smooth lines to create the sketches you truly want to express. The new curve system also allows you to save the direction of the cross-section. Now, even if you rotate the curve, its shape remains unchanged, and non-destructive editing is still supported. • Better Navigation Navigation is now easier than ever. The orbit point changes in real-time as you move the screen, making control more intuitive and straightforward. You can manually set the orbit point by pressing and holding on a drawing or grid. Pressing and holding again on an empty space will reset the point. Perfect for focusing on a specific area. • 3D Joystick Feather's unique transform system has become more powerful with the new mode. The 3D joystick allows you to move or rotate curves on the global X, Y, Z axes regardless of viewing direction. It also supports free rotation like a trackball. • Loft and 3D Guide Visuals The 3D guide creation method has been revamped with two new modes: Draw and Loft. Draw allows you to freely draw 3D guides as before. Loft is a new feature that lets you draw 3D guides using existing curves. The visuals of the 3D guide have also been improved, making them easier to distinguish. You can also adjust the transparency of the 3D guide to make it less intrusive. • Sequence Save, edit, and playback camera shots. With Sequence, you can prepare presentations that transition between the interior and exterior of buildings or create simple animations with characters. You can adjust the playback speed to show slower or faster sequences. This brand-new feature showcases the future of Feather. Stay tuned to see how it evolves. There are many other improvements, bug fixes, and added features. Thank you for your continued support and interest.
