## What is Verto Studio 3D?

Verto Studio 3D is the most powerful mobile 3D modeling application.  A fully-functional 3D modeling and graphics studio designed to rival desktop studio programs, verto strives to push the boundaries of what is capable on an iPad and from the users that use it.

The software is designed for all ranges of users, from professional 3D modelers, game developers, to beginners looking to get their feet wet in 3D content generation.  Use it to build quick 3D mockups or fully functional environments for mobile applications.  Verto Studio is an ideal solution for mobile 3D content generation because it bridges the gap between design and mobile testing.  It supports importing, exporting, viewing and editing 3D models of any size.   With the addition the pro animator (separate purchase), Verto Studio can be used to rig and animate a model from scratch completely on the iPad without the need for any external tools!

With use of the "auto tool", the user can intuitively gesture using taps, swipes, pinches and twirls to quickly alter the scene as they see fit.

Verto Studio includes the following features (and many more not listed here):

- Built-in shaders including reflection/refraction environment mapping, BRDF, bump-mapping and more!
- Render pipeline editor for multipass & post-processing effects with built-in blending operators 
- Editing transform handles for easy translate/rotate/scale tools via touchscreen.
- Instances (duplicate many, edit once)
- File import (glTF, DAE, OBJ, STL, .X, 3DS, FBX) and more!
- File export (glTF, DAE, OBJ)
- Verto Studio file format support and exchange via email
- Mesh generation using quads and triangular faces

### 3/5 — Not for beginners!

*2025-10-26*

This is a pretty cool 3D app on the surface, but it may be incredibly difficult to use if you’re just starting out with 3D modeling. 

Some of the swipe/button/options are not very intuitive, there is a bit of a learning curve. 

Some options are hard to find as well, and it’s hard to swipe off of the app to go to other apps.

### 1/5 — Verto Studio 3d needs better interface and features

*2025-06-24*

Verto Studio used to be the only choice when it was first developed but it didn’t keep up with time lake of development, old style interface missing features make it very hard to compete against new wave of 3d application Valence 3D, DGArt and ArtiMesh with much better interface and functionality.

### 5/5 — Brilliant app!

*2024-05-10*

Amazing app, but can you please upload a video of how to rig from scratch please, I’m finding it so confusing!!

### 2/5 — Could be great

*2021-12-20*

It’s a real shame that there is no usable hard surface modeling on the iPad. This all can technically do it but it’s painful to use. The navigation is not built for touch at all.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2021-10-31*

Cant lock to axis, cant bevel, cant line cut, cant select edges…really it cant do much at all.. and why is the undo button so close to the add button …and why do i need to confirm the undo everytime? no free trial, no money back so my only option is to write this bad review. Nonsense.

### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2021-01-31*

Searched high and low for an application with the tools and capabilities of this one. I agree with the other positive reviews. Thanks again.

### 1/5 — MAKE IT EASIER!!! PLEASE!

*2020-09-14*

I spent $6.00 on a app, but can’t build anything. The edit mode is so confusing. MAKE IT EASIER, PLEASE. Otherwise, it’s a waste of MONEY!

### 4/5 — More than I expected, but still missing some helpful features

*2019-11-10*

It’s a great 3D modeling software. GLSL shading is flexible and fairly easy to use. However, the UI needs some work, and shader editing and pipeline editing isn’t very intuitive and takes a while to get the hang of. The biggest thing lacking is real time shadows. It would be great to add non-destructive modifiers and make lights still visible when set to Directional mode.

**UPDATE**

Grouping objects is also missing, meaning I have to re-select all the objects I want to move and move them; sometimes missing a couple, and sometimes selecting objects I didn’t intend to.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2019-04-10, version 2.3.8*

How do I get my money back? 
So dulled down from a PC 3D modeling platform to be near useless. Very difficult to create mor than basic structures.

### 1/5 — Waste of time.

*2018-12-24*

Unless the app has a major feature overhaul it by far a waste of time and money. You can’t build anything. Only able to edit face and vertex but not edges and can’t add any new points to build onto. Also has no modifiers.
