Artmodel or magic poser are far better and it only the promise of the missing export function that persuaded me to purchase. ### 1/5 — App crashes on email export *2021-01-12* Not working as intended ### 1/5 — Would be 5 but *2020-12-13* Won’t open at all and I payed money for this I would really like a refund ### 4/5 — Obj. Export Tutorial *2020-11-08, version 1.0* I can’t locate the option to export a mesh as an obj file. This was stated as a feature but doesn’t seem to be present in the app? Please confirm if it’s currently possible to export an obj? ### 1/5 — Crashes on launch *2020-10-01* Crashes when launching on iPad Pro 11, version 13.6.1. ### 5/5 — Easy to Pose *2019-04-04* They have figured it out! I’ve used a lot of different 3-D posing apps but this one really gets the controls right for how to get the pose you want. Thanks for the great interface! ### 3/5 — Good start but needs posable skelton *2019-01-25* I like the simplicity of the controls even though they are a bit clunky. Lighting isn’t too bad. Really looking for a good poseable Skelton app. One that can move every part. ### 1/5 — Needs local obj export *2018-09-06* Great app, please add local obj export not just via email export. It does not export obj in app locally It must be emailed to self. This is not very convenient and they did not mention this. ### 5/5 — Great potential *2017-12-17* As a pose app for drawing, this app has some wonderful things going on. The ability to scrub between poses is very cool. The lighting and camera work well. Having multiple materials is a great addition as is having a floor with drop shadow. I really like the planar model for the male. And posing is dead easy to do and yields cool results. There are some refinements that could make this app even more useful. First is the model. I really like the planar model as a tool but this model has a few oddities. The pelvis on the male is to deep and the chest is to shallow. The thighs have an odd pinch in the middle and the knees are too chunky. A center line groove would be helpful to see twisting in the torso. I like that the chest has deformations but it also needs to allow the shoulders to raise when lifting the arms above the horizontal. Besides the model, the interface needs simplifying and shrinking for larger devices like the iPad Pro. There needs to be a way to save an image to the camera roll or the Files app. And of course, it needs to work in slide over on iOS 11 in order to draw in other apps while looking at the pose. I would personally get rid of the static models as I don’t think they add much to the app and just take up space. All these criticisms are not to take away from the app itself, which is quite excellent and easily worth supporting for future development. ### 4/5 — Looks Good but needs landscqpe mode please... *2017-09-07* Need to have this in landscape mode so i can splitscreen while drawing...
