Material Box vs DGArt

Preview PBR materials as if they were actually on your phone. Material Box uses motion tracking and off axis rendering to give heightmaps the illusion of real depth as you move your phone.

DGArt is a 3D modeling, animation, and rendering tool for artists, game designers, and developers to create 3D assets and content from start to finish. It is affordable, comprehensive, and easy to learn. With DGArt on your iPad, you can easily construct 3D models, animate them, and create digital art. DGArt provides a variety of basic geometric primitives, including extra/custom polygons. It features an edit mode with tools like extrusion, inset, knife cuts, and more. Animation System: DGArt now includes animation features, allowing users to create movement, rotation, and scaling animations. The animation timeline supports keyframe-based animation with easing options, making it easy to create smooth transitions. You can preview and render animations directly within the app. DGArt creates a .scn file, which stores geometry, nodes, lights, cameras, and animation data. This format can be used in the Playgrounds App for your apps or games. Please refer to SceneKit for more details.
