Print the included AR mat, place your object in the middle of the mat and let the Augmented Reality dome guide you through the scanning process. Scan the object from two different angles and it will be auto merged for better and more complete 3D results. With Qlone, there is no waiting time, all processing is done live on your phone in seconds. Print the mat directly from the app with AirPrint or send it as a mail and print out. MODIFYING With the integrated tools in the app so you can optimize and modify your 3D model without needing to export them. 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 - Improve the quality of the model by erasing unwanted areas or smoothing the surface. Sculpt - Improve or alter the shape of your object by pressing or pulling a selected area and adjust the transition. Shape - Enhance the mesh details or set the scale size of your model for 3D printing, 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.
