Qlone is an all-in-one 3D scanner app. We have made it easy and fast to create 3D models from real objects, edit them with built-in editing tools and seamlessly export the result to popular platforms, 3D file formats and 3D printers. You can even animate your models in Augmented Reality! A perfect tool for AR/VR content creation, 3D Printing, STEM Education, eCommerce showcase and many other uses. SCANNING If you choose to scan with the Qlone mat, simply print it from the included mat file, place your object in the middle of the mat and let the AR dome guide you through the scanning process. You can also scan the object from two different angles and it will be automatically merged for a better overall result which includes areas such as the bottom of the object. You can now also scan without a mat in two different modes - AR mode which makes it easy to scan with our familiar AR dome or Photo mode, which takes higher quality 4K images in both manual or automatic modes. When scanning with the mat, there is no waiting time, all processing is done in real time on your phone in seconds. In the new option to scan without a mat, processing is done in minutes on our blazing fast Qlone Cloud but we value your privacy so we don't store or view any of your models! MODIFYING With the integrated tools in the app you can optimize and modify your 3D model without needing to export them to other sophisticated software. Texture - Change the Brightness, Saturation and Sharpness of the 3D model. Pick colors from the scanned object and apply them by painting directly on the 3D model. Blur areas or transitions for smoother results. Clean - Fill holes in the model, erase unwanted areas such as the background surface or smooth certain parts. Sculpt - Improve or alter the shape of your object by pressing or pulling a selected area and adjust the transition. Shape - Fix the orientation, enhance the mesh details or set the scale size of your model for 3D printing. You can also simplify the mesh for lower file size export. Art - Turn your object into scaled cubes or meshed objects of art, ready to be printed. AR View + ANIMATION: You can beam your 3D models back to reality and bring them to life with automatic rigging and animation. EXPORTING and IMPORTING: Export your model directly to platforms like SketchFab, i.materialise, Lens Studio, Shapeways and CGTrader. Models can be exported in a variety of formats for use in other 3D tools – OBJ, STL, FBX, USDZ, GLB (Binary glTF) which includes animation, PLY, X3D. Share your models with friends as an image, video or GIF through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp, Email and iMessage. You can import any 3D model into Qlone. Import in any 3D format (40+ formats) to view, modify or bring it to life in AR with our automatic animation! PREMIUM UPGRADE (ONE-TIME PURCHASE): Qlone is free to download and scan but exporting the 3D models, AR view with Animations and scanning in 4K resolution are premium features that require an upgrade to premium. Such upgrade is a one-time purchase fee and is not based on an annoying subscription. Also, there is a new premium feature that allows scanning without a mat! Since processing for scanning without the mat takes place on our Qlone Cloud, when you upgrade to premium you unlock this new option and receive 50 cloud credits for 50 such scans. You can later purchase more credits in highly affordable packs if needed. When you upgrade to premium, all models in your gallery and future models will be unlocked for unlimited exports in any format and it will work across all your Apple devices.

Turn your iPhone or iPad into a touch-first projection mapping and video mapping studio. Lazy Lighting lets you warp videos, photos, live camera feeds, animated drawings, and generative VJ visuals onto walls, stages, sculptures, windows, objects, and multi-surface installations—without a laptop. MAP ANY SURFACE Create squares, circles, custom text, cubes, boxes, image silhouettes, and hand-drawn outlines. Drag corners directly on screen to align each projection, bend edges around curved forms, then use masks and cutouts to control exactly where every visual appears. Map several surfaces at once. Assign different content to individual shapes, layer visuals with independent opacity and ordering, and save projects to continue later. CREATE LIVE VISUALS • Explore built-in visualizers, VJ loops, generative shaders, gradients, tunnels, neon effects, and shape-aware animations • Import videos and photos from your device • Use a live camera feed as projection content • Draw and animate original visuals by hand • Crop, fit, mask, layer, and apply real-time effects including kaleidoscope, tile, slide, rotate, zoom, blur, monochrome, invert, and color cycle • Make visuals react to audio or control parameters with MIDI • Animate controls with BPM-synced LFO and envelope modulation • Use hand and face tracking for expressive control BUILD A COMPLETE SHOW Create scenes and switch between them live, or arrange them on a timeline. Add an audio track, trim and duplicate clips, automate visual parameters, and move between looks with fade or dissolve transitions. Export the finished projection-mapped show in 720p, 1080p, or 4K with audio. Save it to Photos or send it to a compatible receiver running Lazy Lighting Link. EXPORT ONCE. PLAY WITHOUT YOUR PHONE. Once the transfer is complete, Lazy Lighting Link saves and loops the show on the receiver. Close the app and free your iPhone or iPad—the projection keeps playing without your device remaining connected. CONNECT YOUR WAY Connect by HDMI with a compatible USB-C or Lightning adapter, use AirPlay, or connect through Lazy Lighting Link. External display output keeps the controls on your device while the visual output fills the projector. Lazy Lighting is made for projection artists, VJs, DJs, musicians, performers, stage and event designers, galleries, installations, window displays, parties, home ambience, and Halloween, Christmas, or holiday projections. Create the map. Build the visuals. Perform live—or export once and let Lazy Lighting Link keep it playing. A compatible projector or display and a wired or wireless connection are required for external output. Lazy Lighting Link export requires a compatible receiver on the same network. Some features require a subscription. Terms of Use: https://lazylighting.com/ios-terms Privacy Policy: https://lazylighting.com/ios-privacy
