Recognized as one of the 10 Best AR Apps for Classrooms by EdSurge, Qlone, the all-in-one tool for 3D scanning and AR. We have made it easy and fast to 3D scan real objects, modify them in-app, export the result into many 3D file formats, platforms and 3D printers and even magically bring them to life with animations. A perfect tool for AR/VR (Augmented Reality) content creation, 3D Printing, STEM Education, eCommerce showcase and many other uses. SCANNING Scanning real objects has never been easier. 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. 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!

Viewer for 3D and 2D model formats supported by the Castle Game Engine: - glTF - X3D - VRML - IFC - Spine JSON - sprite sheets (in Castle Game Engine, Cocos2D and Starling XML formats) - MD3 - Wavefront OBJ - 3DS - STL - Collada - and more. In addition to the above formats, it also allows to open a ZIP file that contains a single model and associated media (like textures, sounds etc.). You can change navigation type (walk, fly, examine, 2D), jump between viewpoints, play chosen animations, save a screenshot, display scene statistics (triangle, vertex count) and more. The application comes with a few sample files, and naturally you can open your own 3D and 2D model files. The models must be self-contained, e.g. you have to - use GLB with all the textures packed in one file, - or X3D with all textures expressed as PixelTexture or data URI, - or just put your model with data (like textures) inside a zip. - We have documented how to make your models self-contained here: https://castle-engine.io/castle-model-viewer-mobile This is an open-source software, available to you for free. There are no ads or tracking. We appreciate if you can support us: https://www.patreon.com/castleengine !
