Maquette Studio

Maquette Studio is a 3D pose and scene reference tool for artists. Pose a figure by hand, frame it through a real lens, light it the way you mean to paint it, and draw from the result. FREE TO DOWNLOAD Pose one figure and take the reference with you: • Posing by touch and Apple Pencil. Drag a hand or a foot and the limb follows, bending within human joint limits, or switch the limits off for poses no body could hold. Pin hands, feet, hips or head while you pose the rest. With Apple Pencil Pro, squeeze for posing tools and roll the barrel to twist. • A pose library: walk, run, sit, kneel, crouch and lie down, a set of bundled poses, and your own saved poses. Hand presets for open, relaxed, fist, point and grip. Mirror a pose in one step. • Pose From Photo: pick a photograph and the pose is found on the device with Apple's Vision framework. Drag any joint to correct it and set depth in a side view. Joints the detector is unsure of are left for you to place, and the photo is never uploaded. • Proportions for head, shoulders, arms, torso, legs and height, with presets and your own saved body types, plus the expressions a figure carries. • Props for blocking out a scene: box, sphere, cylinder, staff, seat, chair, bench, table, step and stairs, or your own OBJ and GLB meshes. Place the staff in a figure's hand and close the fingers around it, or attach any prop to a hand and it follows the pose. Add reference pictures as image planes. • A camera that behaves like a lens: focal length in millimetres, orthographic to check proportions, depth of field, saved views, and scene cameras that show the exact frame an export will hold, with an optional fisheye or pincushion curve. • Shading and light you can paint from: toon with an ink outline, matcap, or the figure's own textures; key, fill and rim lights with an ambient lift. • Animation on one timeline: key a figure or a prop, or start from the catalog's free Walk, Run, Idle and Look Around clips. Ghosts of the frames before and after show the motion while you edit. • Hair and clothing that hang under gravity, and figures that do not pass through each other or the props. • Save and open scenes and poses. A pose is stored against the standard humanoid skeleton, so it applies to any figure. • Three free figures: Male, Female and a wooden Mannequin. • PNG export, opaque, at the same sizes as every other format, from your view or from any scene camera. FULL VERSION: ONE-TIME IN-APP PURCHASE One purchase covers iPad, iPhone and Mac with the same Apple Account.
