Plastic vs Design Moves

In contrast to most other modeling tools, Plastic does not use polygons to define the shape of an object. Instead, you build up a volumetric representation by simply combining primitives with add and subtract operations. The same tools used for modeling can also be used to apply color to the model in one continuous workflow. And, since all of these actions in Plastic are non-destructive, you can easily change aspects of your scene at any point without affecting unrelated work. When you are done, objects can be exported as PLY files to be animated, rendered, or 3D printed with the help of other tools. To get started, create a new project by tapping the “+”-symbol in the project gallery. To edit an object in the scene, you can either tap it twice in the outline or tap the “Edit” button after selecting it and switching to the attributes panel. By tapping the plus button in the outline panel, you can now add strokes to your object and build up its shape. Although I am trying my best to provide a polished experience, Plastic is still in an early stage in its development and occasional bugs, missing features, and frequent design changes cannot be completely avoided.

Design is a language. Like any language, it has rules. Not to limit you, but to set you free. Design Moves is a swipeable card deck of practical design techniques. Each card shows you real visual examples and explains exactly what's happening and why. Open it for two minutes. Walk away better than before. Typography. Depth. Layout. Brand. Motion. The moves behind the work you already admire. No courses, no algorithm, no noise. 5 moves are free. Pro unlocks the full library, with new cards added every week. Built with faith, humility, and love. My goal is simple: make professional design accessible to everyone, regardless of budget or formal training. If even one move helps you create something you're proud of, that's everything. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
