Model Colors

COLOR MAP A new way to look at your paints. The color map plots a set of colors on the hue disc, so you can see at a glance where your collection is dense and where the gaps are. Zoom in to tell individual paints apart, and tap a dot to see every paint sitting on that spot. Open it on your stash, your shopping list, a color list, a color type or one of your models. On anything but your stash it marks which paints you already own, and how many of the rest are already on your shopping list. Open it on a single color and the rest of your stash appears around it, so you can see whether you already own something close. COLOR SCHEMES The color schemes now share a single wheel. Choose complementary, split complementary, analogous, triadic or tetradic on the wheel itself, see what each color contributes to the scheme, and browse the closest matching paints from your stash. SHOPS A model can now say which shop it came from. Pick the shop from a shared directory, grouped by country and searchable by name or country, and the model shows the shop's address, websites and phone number, with a button that drops its pin in Maps. A shop in another country that has no webshop is marked as such when you pick it. Missing your local shop or a favorite? Add it yourself on the Model Colors website, along with any changes to shops already there. PHOTOS AND DOCUMENTS Model Colors has begun moving photos, documents and 3D files to its own cloud storage. This is the first step, and nothing has left iCloud Drive: your files are still saved there exactly as before, and are now copied to Model Colors cloud storage as well. The copying carries on in the background, even when the app is closed, and a file you change is copied again. A new Storage page in Settings shows how much of your space is in use and lists anything still waiting to be copied, with a way to retry or discard a file that could not be sent. A later update will finish the move. ALSO IN THIS UPDATE • Paint attributes are now translated into every language the app supports • Models can be marked as disposed • Fixed saving and editing model searches, and on the Mac and iPad the search now opens in a panel beside your models • A redesigned scale calculator that also converts between scales, such as 1/35 to 1/48, and tells you what size to print plans or decals at • More accurate similar colors and color matching • Permission prompts now appear in your own language • An updated privacy policy, and a license agreement that opens in your language • A reworked news screen, a smoother loading screen, and color rows you can tap anywhere • The social screen is now a simple list of places to find Model Colors • The connection to the server is rebuilt when the app returns from the background, fixing the "no connection" errors some of you saw • Bug fixes and usability improvements
