• Sculpting tools Clay, flatten, smooth, mask and many other brushes will let you shape your creation. You can also use the trim boolean cutting tool with lasso, rectangle and other shapes, for hardsurface purposes. • Stroke customization Falloff, alphas, tilings, pencil pressure and other stroke parameters can be customized. You can save and load your tools preset as well. • Painting tools Vertex painting with color, roughness and metalness. You can easily manage all your material presets as well. • Layers Record your sculpting and painting operations in separate layers for easier iteration during the creation process. Both the sculpting and painting changes are recorded. • Multiresolution sculpting Go back and forth between multiple resolution of your mesh for a flexible workflow. • Voxel remeshing Remesh quickly your mesh to get a uniform level of detail. It can be used to quickly sketch a rough shape at the beginning of the creation process. • Dynamic topology Refine locally your mesh under your brush to get an automatic level of detail. You can even keep your layers, as they will be automatically updated! • Decimate Reduce the number of polygons by keeping as many details as possible. • Face Group Segment your mesh into subgroups with the face group tool. • Automatic UV unwrap The automatic UV unwrapper can use face groups to control the unwrapping process. • Baking You can transfer vertex data such as color, roughness, metalness and small scaled detail in to textures. You can also do the opposite, transfering textures data into vertex data or layers. • Primitive shape Cylinder, torus, tube, lathe and other primitives can be used to quickly start new shapes from scratch. • PBR rendering Beautiful PBR rendering by default, with lighting and shadows. You can always switch to matcap for a more standard shading for sculpting purposes. • Post processing Screen Space Reflection, Depth of Field, Ambient Occlusion, Tone mapping, etc • Export and Import Supported formats include glTF, OBJ, STL or PLY files. • Interface Easy-to-use interface, designed for mobile experience. Customization is possible as well! • Quad Remesher (separate in-app purchase only) Remesh your object automatically with a quad dominant mesh that follows the mesh curvatures. It supports guides, face groups and density painting.

As a tattoo artist, I print large-scale designs almost every day. I always wondered why such a simple task still required large desktop applications. There was no straightforward tool that made the process easy on an iPad. So I built ScalePrint for my own workflow. Choose an image, enter the desired height in centimeters, and ScalePrint automatically places it across multiple A4 pages while preserving the correct proportions. You can move and rotate the design before printing, so it sits exactly where you need it. I wanted the app to be as simple as possible: no complicated menus, no unnecessary settings, and no previous printing or design experience required. ScalePrint is useful for: • Tattoo artists preparing full-size stencils • Designers and illustrators • Posters, templates and reference drawings • Anyone who needs to print an image at an accurate physical size Main features: • Exact print size in centimeters • Automatic A4 page tiling • Preserved image proportions • Adjustable position and rotation • Clear page grid preview • Simple and focused interface ScalePrint started as a tool that solved a problem in my own daily work. I hope it makes your workflow easier too. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
