Sketch 3D is a tool for designing 3D models from your fingertips. You could download models from others, and could also share your great designs with other users by saving models in Public space. New Feature: Integrated MaterialX library into the app. Mesh object can be applied with materialx documents. When Saving and Loading with material, the document relative path is stored as a diffuse map entry, similar to the way of handling movie textures. Other features like material adjustment and graph editing are not supported yet. User could download free material documents from public websites and import those zip files with this app, using ShareTo or AirDrop. Feature: Use True Depth Camera to capture face model. Feature: Support using video as model texture. You could use video clips from Photo Album, or from Internet URL (YouTube URL not supported), and then apply it onto a model as texture map. Feature: Capture movie from the 3D scene. Note! If your device could not capture movie, then, could try out a smaller output resolution (by tapping the control pane). However, arbitrary output size may stop capturing prematurely. Feature: Design 3D model animation with skeleton structure. You could design a skeleton structure by placing bones in hierarchical relation. Attach model to the skeleton, and then moving the bones to define different poses. Each pose represented as a keyframe in the timeline view. And animation sequence is produced by playing interpolation between the keyframes. Features: - Import 3D content directly from browser or email, either in .zip, .rar, .7z. - Support formats: Collada DAE, OBJ, 3DS, STL(for 3D printing), and others. - Import/export to iCloud drive, via iTune File Sharing, or to Public area via Apple CloudKit Service. - Supports AirDrop. - Support Quad faces. - Smooth surfaces using Subdivision. - Mirroring editing. - 2-fingers vertex movement, 3 or 4-fingers planar shape creation. - Versatile multi-touches drag-through-space gestures to support editing and changing viewing angle at the same time. - Flexible face strip drawing. - Stitching boundary faces. Stitch triangle soap into connected faces. Stitch over edge or vertex to form a larger face. - Stitching Triangles to Quads. - Loop Cut faces. - Bevel edges. - Extrude faces or edges. - Revolve (Spin). - Vertex Smoothing. - Vertex Slide along edges. - Crease Editing after mesh subdivision. - Split mesh from, or Join mesh to the editing one. - Support hierarchical mesh node structure. - Direct vertex color editing when texture map is not used. - Edit texture map UV coordinates, include atlas generation. - 3D Text generation. - Scene interaction with your created shape. - Design Animation with skeleton structure. - Capture movie from the 3D scene. - Support using video as model texture map.

Whether you are a designer, photographer, illustrator, or simply someone who loves the colors found in everyday life, Piiika gives every spark of inspiration a place in your personal color library. CAPTURE COLORS FROM CAMERA OR PHOTOS Capture a color in front of you with the camera, or choose a favorite photo and let Piiika extract a representative palette automatically. Move the on-image color picker to sample any exact point and turn scenery, films, outfits, food, and everyday moments into color inspiration you can keep.

Piiika displays HEX, RGB, and CMYK values together and lets you copy them quickly for graphic design, UI work, illustration, and other visual projects. BUILD AN ORGANIZED COLOR COLLECTION Add tags to colors so they are easy to organize and find by theme. Save individual colors or combine several favorites into a complete palette. Single colors and palettes with the same tag appear together, keeping your library clear and easy to browse. SEARCH BY COLOR VALUE Enter a HEX code or RGB values to see the matching color and its details instantly. Adjust the result’s brightness and saturation, then save it directly for your next project.

It is ideal for keeping brand colors, project systems, outfit ideas, interior inspiration, or any color relationship worth remembering. FIND RANDOM INSPIRATION Not sure where to start? Explore randomly generated combinations in the Color Library. When a palette clicks, save it to your collection with a tap. CREATE GRADIENT WALLPAPERS Turn one color or an entire palette into a clean, natural gradient wallpaper. Preview the result for your Home Screen or Lock Screen and save your favorites to Photos. MAKE COLOR-DRIVEN FILTERS Apply a saved color or palette to a photo to create a distinctive mood. Fine-tune highlights, shadows, saturation, and brightness until the image matches your style. SHARE COLOR BEAUTIFULLY Turn a color, palette, or photo color card into a polished shareable image. Exchange inspiration with friends or present a design direction in a clear, visual way. Every color can hold a memory—and become the beginning of your next idea. Open Piiika and start collecting your color world.
