What's New in Finger3D

4.2.1

July 31, 2023

* Minor bugs fixed TEXTURES: * Added the ability to assign a texture to the selected faces of the 3D objects * The 3D model is displayed using the texture also during the exploration / visualization of the 3D model (to enable or disable the TEXTURE visualization: double tap the screen with two fingers in 3D SPACE mode) * Added the ability to choose the quality for the texture's image (in pixels) and the ability to “repeat” or “scale to fill” the textures on the selected faces of the 3D objects * Added the ability to choose the vertical number of texture to apply to the walls exported by FingerCAD (useful for example to draw tiled bathrooms using .jpg and .png images for the textures - photo album's image textures): the horizontal repeat number of textures will be automatically calculated (so, You can scale the model and the system will automatically calculate for You the horizontal repeat number for the textures) * Added the ability to use semitransparent textures (alpha channel used for the textures) * Smooth shading for the texture * New ground texture (You can now set the repeat number for the ground texture and its image quality in pixels) * New visualization algorithms for the "sky" and "background images" textures (high quality and high visualization performances) SHOT A PHOTO AND USE IT AS A TEXTURE FOR YOUR 3D MODEL: * Added the “image picker for textures” to pick the image for the texture from the device’s photo albums ILLUMINATION: * New algorithms for the scene illumination, for the color 3D models and for the textures (fixed some bugs of visualization of the colors during zoom out) * Added a sun light and an adjustable spot light 3D MODELING AREA: * Full screen visualization mode FACE MODELING (MODELING ON): * New face modeling algorithms (fixed some bugs) MODELING (EDIT ON): * Added the ability to move only the selected part of an object at a certain distance (using the "MOVE+" and "MOVE-" buttons) EXTRUDE: * New extrude routines along X, Y, Z axis (with a selectable extrude distance) FLAT SHADED or WIRED FRAME visualizations: * Added the FLAT SHADED and WIRED FRAME visualizations for EDIT ON and MODEL ON modes (to choose FLAT SHADED or WIRED FRAME: double tap the screen with two fingers in EDIT ON or MODEL ON modes) NORMALS CALCULATION: * Fixed many bugs for the calculation of normals for: circle, sphere, cylinder, cone UNDO / REDO: * Added the undone and redone buttons OBJ+MTL and TEXTURE archive: * Added the “OBJ + MTL” and the “TEXTURE” filters UNGROUP: * New ungroup algorithm (optimized and fixed some bugs) PERFORMANCES: * The source code was optimized to reach high performances for the refresh rate, also when the texture is used for the materials of the 3D objects

Great app

This is a great app, still learn to get used to these tools using finger 3D tutorials I am trying to make a anime face on some character I am making for MMD and this needs a landscape mode for more cursor movement like more room to select vectors and all that oh and add snap tool so it's snap on the lines, edges and vectors, so yeh will u guys make a landscape mode please :)

Awesome

Please add a first person view. to view our terrain please :)

Wow!

First off I'm surprised to see a 3d app with so many features. Although this is more in depth than just sculpting, I do believe after watching a couple tutorials this would be a great app to play around on and learn with due to its portability. This could also be a serious app to make actual objects with too! Well worth the money 👍❗

A 3D app that does not do 3D!

I am a professional 3D artist with a lot of experience in the industry. The only thing I can say about this app is that it needs to be redone from top to bottom. A 3D software does not suppose to be so hard to understand or figure out. This app is not user friendly at all. The creators try to put way too many options without paying attention to details that make a 3D software. I know it's a PHONE app, but please if you people are going to do something and charge $6 for it make sure u it works properly.

It's good but needs improving.

I've been using PC based 3D modeling software for about 7 years (Lightwave, Maya, Brice, Max) so I am used to these types of programs.

I think Finger 3D is probably the best iPhone - based modeling software but it's still a bit clunky. It's hard to get used to the selection process effectively. The selection globe can be extremely confusing at first.

Considering the iPhone limitations I will rate this 4 stars. Not 5 stars because it is really just a novelty app, because of the selection globe and the following:

I tried importing two simple ball .obj files- one from Lightwave, the other from Max. Both primitives cause Finger3D to crash. It seems the only objects this can use are the ones created within it.

It's because of those things that I'd never attempt doing any serious modeling here and I think $5.99 is over priced.

You expect a limited functionality- this is a cellphone after all but it's not quite ready for any practical purpose.

FAQ

What is Finger3D?

Finger3D is a mobile application that transforms your device into a portable 3D modeler. It allows users to create and edit 3D models using finger gestures and a variety of modeling tools.

What kind of 3D models can I create with Finger3D?

You can create virtually any shape or object using the provided 3D geometric primitives like spheres, cubes, and curves. The app supports detailed editing for vertices, faces, and objects.

Can I export my Finger3D models to other software?

Yes, Finger3D supports exporting models in OBJ+MTL format. This allows you to import your creations into professional 3D modelers for PC or MAC, such as Maya 3D or Blender.
